[QUOTE="Rick Ross, post: 4642435, member: 51847"] Mouthpieces probably aren't approved because certain groups have lobbied the DOT or whatever agency regulates this. CPAP machines along with supplies and monitoring are a cash cow. The American Sleep Association has a lot of information regarding mouthpieces and their efficacy on the ASA website. A quick read shows a mouthpiece can be a solution in roughly 2/3's of patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea. There is also the belief that mouthpieces can be a better alternative because studies have shown patients use the mouthpiece more regularly than a CPAP machine. I've met a few drivers who have said the CPAP machine was life changing while just as many have said they can't sleep while wearing the mask and take it off immediately after getting their time logged for the day.
