I learned that a jaw support is as effective as a cpap face mask. is that true?

How might we know?: I guess you'd have to do a sleep evaluation with a jaw support in place to get a really good answer to this question. In other words, subject the jaw support to the same scrutiny CPAP would get! talk with your sleep doctor. Good luck. Lgromkomd.
