I just started using my CPAP machine so it is too early to tell.

Nope.  Been using machine since 2004.

I've never had such problems with my CPAP, but I observed that my teeth became yellow. Does anyone know how to make them white again? :D

Hey there! I've also experienced some discoloration with my teeth while using a CPAP machine. It's frustrating when we're trying to improve our health and end up with unexpected side effects. As for whitening teeth, I recommend checking out afterva.com. They have an article that explains some effective ways to brighten your smile, including natural remedies and professional treatments. It's definitely worth a read if you're looking to improve the appearance of your teeth.

I noticed a month after using my CPAP Phillips Dream Wisp mask my teeth moving . It has been 3 months now and I have a noticeable gap between my two front teeth and a bottom tooth that sticks out now. I went to my dentist today and he told me it would keep happening and I am getting retainers to wear at night to stop further movement of teeth. But, it will not correct what has already happened. I dont think this is common at all and I don't even wear the mask all night long.

I haven't personally experienced it, it's not uncommon for some people to notice teeth shifting or changes in their bite while using CPAP.

I get your concern about teeth shifting from using a CPAP mask. It can be a bit freaky, right? While I can't speak from personal experience, it's always a good idea to consult with a dental professional to address your concerns.

Wow, jamtired! It sounds like it's a pretty serious situation where your teeth are shifting after using CPAP. I've been using the ResMed AirSense 10 for a few months now and have noticed a little soreness in my jaw, but no shifting yet. It's definitely concerning! I'm glad you were able to get retainers from your dentist to stop any further movement. Maybe consulting a cosmetic dentist for your dental needs might also be a good idea? They might be able to advise on options to correct any gaps or shifting. It's good to be aware of these potential side effects. Thanks for sharing your experience!
