Collars for positional sleep apnea

RE: Collars for positional sleep apnea
When I used a collar I liked the Caldera Releaf Collar the best. You can get it from Amazon.

You mean a chinstrap that may hold the jaw still or pull it forward?? Yes cause that's the main problem actually,  I got mild retrognathia and my chin and jaw drop back when I sleep supinely or on the sides but closer to supine position.  I need something to hold my chin. For some reason, the dental appliance doesn't do that work anymore.

Mouth taping I've never tried. Is it useful for something like that??

Mouth taping might hold your chin in place because it will hold your lower lip where it should be.  I would try it if I were you.  If it doesn't work alone, wearing a neck collar with it would likely help by holding your chin up.  Good luck!  Smile

Any medical tape will do if you use it vertically from the base of your nose below your chin. I use Nexcare, which is 1 " wide, two pieces next to each other. 
Other brands specifically designed for this purpose are pricey, but they can be found on Amazon.

I found this in my country's website: https://www.skroutz.gr/s/22389552/3M-Nex...-4-5m.html

Do you think it might do the work since it's of Nexcare??

I suggest that you buy 2-inch wide tape. I started with 1-inch and still had too much leaking.
