Hi Robert:

I am just had my 2nd sleep study and just purchased my C-Pap machine today. At my sleep study the technician used a chinstrap for my mouthbreathing, cost of $12 Canadian. It works fine. I use the Mirage mask from ResMed. It is light, and does not cover the mouth. All you really want to do is close your mouth. Have you already tried one of these?
