I had been using a CPAP with good results for a year and a half, but did not care for traveling with it. Also, turning at night, while tethered to this machine was waking me a bit. Sleeping on my stomach was awkward, too.
Fortunately, the dental appliance Hill Dental has for sleep apnea solved these situations for me. After about six weeks, I was fully adjusted to the change. This device has stopped me grinding, too. Now, because of my sound sleep, I have more energy than I’ve had in decades.
Thanks to Dr. Chumbley and his wonderful staff for taking such good care of me! -Jeanne
