Takeaways: Dry mouth and mouth leaks are common problems faced by individuals using CPAP machines. Mouth leaks are often caused by the mouth dropping open during sleep.

  • Training to nasal breathe can help reduce dry mouth and mouth leaks. Myofunctional therapy and using devices like the Somnaseal can assist in nasal breathing.
  • Chin straps and full face masks are options for individuals with mouth leaks, but they may not be comfortable for everyone. Mouth taping can be an alternative solution.
  • Mask leaks can be addressed with mask liners and other accessories like the Gecko nasal pad. Finding the right mask style and fit is important.
  • Rain out, which is condensation in the CPAP tube, can be prevented by using a heated tube, tube covers, or adjusting the humidity settings. Keeping the CPAP machine lower than the bed can also help.
  • The pressure sensation of CPAP can be managed by adjusting the pressure settings, using expiratory pressure release, or trying the VCOM device.
  • It's important to work with a healthcare provider to find the best solutions for individual needs and to not give up on CPAP therapy.
