The Apeks Comfo-Bite bridge also shields the roof of your mouth from the filtered compressed air as it passes out of the mouthpiece to avoid drying out your mouth. Diving compressed air is, at a minimum, double filtered to remove contaminants and moisture. Whilst this is essential for the diver's health it does lead to the mouth drying out very quickly which is particularly noticeable on the roof of the mouth. The bridge helps to keep the roof moist and reduce discomfort.
