I have used an orthodontic appliance to treat "mild to moderate" OSA for about 15 months. It was clinically shown by an after-treatment oximeter recording to substantially aid MY OSA.

Whether it would help you would depend on parameters related to your unique physiology. For a referral to dental practioners that can assess you, contact the Sleep Disorder Dental Society (it can be linked to from this site). Good luck!
