Keep up w the CPAP. You risk damage to your heart due to the apnea periods. If your sleep apnea is severe it’s not likely that a dental device will work.
Did you have an ENT consult to evaluate your airway. There are some procedures available if appropriate.

Amen. Keep up with the cpap or get a prescription for a bi-pap, which seems to not make you fight the pressure when you exhale. I have used one for about 12 years, after having polyps removed from my nasal cavity due to a lifetime of chronic sinus infections. I sleep now, and use the bi-pap even for short naps. Sinus issues have been abated as well. Find a good ENT and a sleep specialist. The dental devices didn’t serve any good purpose for me.
