Well like the rest of us, we are in search of the least invasive "cure", so I went to a specialist in dental appliances and after examination he suggested that the appliance would probably not help my OSA(although he said he would make one for me for about $800 Cdn)and actually discouraged me from this route! He suggested that his experience, (he works with the sleep lab for patients who wish to explore this option, on a referral basis)these appliances have not been too successful and can lead to other minor(as Cue mentions)and some more major problems such as TMJ, a serious and painful jaw disorder!
I then resigned myself that if I was ever to feel better again, I had to have a second sleep study(as many, I could't tolerate the mask on the second night and just went home thinking I would "get better" on my own)
I am now into my fourth month and having the usual "complaints" re: CPAP use but overall VERY successful and almost back to my old self most days.
Do a search under "tracker" for "the rest of my story"
Good luck on "your" quest for a return to a better quality of life.
