Between teeth and gums.........

Posted by BRnut on March 18, 2003 at 08:25:33:

First let me thank everyone for the help I have recieved by reading this forum it's been a source of valuable information and support.

Been looking for something comfortable to put between my teeth and gums before the tape chin strap goes on to stop air coming out of mouth if lips are too slightly part.

At present I have been using a piece of clear tape (shipping tape) which I have at a thickness of four pieces and this is a little stiff and slightly uncomfortable. Looking for somthing softer, but not too the point where it could be inhaled. I was thinking of a saline drip bag or something similar, any thoughts would be appreciated. Sweet Dreams, Mike
