Although the sensations will vary, most patients adapt very quickly to the appliance. Since it is so effective, you will only notice its presence when you are first going to sleep. Both the semi-custom and custom appliances are so lightweight that they can be removed quickly and easily if necessary. They are small enough that you will be able to close your lips over them. The installation of the device is entirely free of pain or discomfort.
Most people find it comfortable to wear.
