Sleep Apnea
Using Forward-Pull Face Mask With a Vivos DNA Appliance
I first came across the idea of a forward-pull face mask on The Great Work Forum in a thread discussing using face mask with MSE for adult expansion. I didn’t end up pursuing MSE, but I thought that if face mask helped MSE users get forward growth, maybe it would help me get more forward growth with Vivos too.
Dr Felix Liao mentions using face mask with DNA appliance patients in his talk at the Vivos Breathing Wellness conference and gives some case reports in his book 6 Foot Tiger, 3 Foot Cage, which I really recommend to anyone with obstructive sleep apnea who is wondering what to do about it. There is a classic line in the talk at 51:51 where Dr Liao presents a patient who said:
“I have a new girlfriend. I’d would rather sleep with her instead of my CPAP.”
