CPAP has a 50% failure rate because patients find most masks unbearable to wear. But, nightly CPAP doesn’t have to be torture. A new CPAP interface called the CPAP/PRO may be the answer to a better night’s sleep. Unlike all other masks and nasal devices that require straps and/or headgear to keep them in place, the CPAP/PRO typically utilizes a simple customized dental mouthpiece that easily snaps onto the upper teeth. A small thin bracket is attached to the dental mouthpiece and extends outward through the lips to support the fully adjustable CPAP/PRO. Two highly flexible tubes convey the CPAP air to the nostrils. Unique nasal inserts, which are foam filled and inflate slightly during use from the CPAP pressure, provide excellent nasal sealing with just feather-light pressure applied to the nostrils. Regardless of all the twisting and turning done throughout the night, the CPAP/PRO stays in positive position with the nose. As illustrated in the above insert photo, the CPAP/PRO assembly can also be added to mandibular advancement appliances.

 IMPORTANT: Construction bite should be taken with 3mm to 4mm vertical in the anterior. No mandibular advancement is necessary.
