"I could not get the mouth piece to fit right. I boiled it and tried fitting it to my mouth twice. Because of my small mouth and my TMJ, the fitting process was very painful. Once I got the mouthpiece molded the second time it stayed up on my teeth until I attached the hoses. Then it fell right off. It appeared that the weight of the hoses was too much for it to stay in place. The nose pieces fit very well and I believe that if the mouth piece were made/fitted by a dentist to fit correctly that this would be a very good solution to the full face mask. As of right now, I can't use it and have to continue using my full face horror contraption."

Pros and Cons

"I'll start with the good stuff:
The best part of having this mask of course is that there is no pressure on your face and if you also need to wear a night guard for teeth grinding like I do, then it also kills two birds with one stone. That is about it.
The problems with this mask is that it's feels poorly designed. The nasal pillow holes aren't big enough so I feel like I'm suffocating. It's a trade off too, no pressure on your face but there is pressure on your gums and teeth. If the mask leans against your pillow, it creates pressure, pushing your teeth to one side. It's not major but it's annoying. Also I feel like I'm breathing my own breath. Yes the holes are properly placed for the exhale, they just don't seem big enough. For instance, you'll notice there are many holes on the nasal masks, etc. so why are two small holes ok on this one? These holes are also very loud. I can't even stand it.
I've only managed to get through one night with this thing on. It's actually very comfortable to wear if it's not leaning against anything. I just feel like I can't use it because I feel like I'm not getting enough air and because I don't trust the exhale holes."

"I have used this for 6 nights now, and it is wonderful! I had begun to wake up several times a night to adjust my headgear, and was not getting the rest I had previously. The freedom I feel with the CPAP Pro is amazing!
I have worn a mandibular stabilization splint to guard against tooth grinding for many years, so getting used to the mouthpiece was a snap. It might take longer for someone not used to it---but it would be well worth it!
It did take a couple of nights to get the nasal pillows adjusted properly, but I think I have it---four nights now with no waking!"
