Answering a question from the comments section…
Why do they use the laryngeal mask in your case? We seldom use it, in all those years we used it for one patient who had an exceptional large beard which made the ventilation troublesome.

I’m not totally sure what the issue is. I know for my first treatment, they ran out of any other kind of mouth guards-as I understand it, the one that’s normally used looks a little like the trays they use to get impressions of your teeth when you’re at the dentist.
But I was told that kind doesn’t work for me when they tried it during the second treatment. Maybe I have a small airway?
I’m sort of just guessing at this part of the treatments, actually. I usually don’t remember to ask for specifics about that part.
