How comfortable is your dental appliance? Did your regular dentist do it,? I had read that such appliances put your jaws into an unnatural position and I worried about that causing problems. My apnea is to severe but the warm air keeps my sinuses clear at night.

@ingrid1947 It wasn't very comfortable the first few weeks, but it is adjustable, and I added extension for the lower jaw every week or so until the snoring stopped. I also did the exercises daily to loosen my jaw. Now, a year later, I find it comfortable enough - far better than a mask and all that stuff. Cleaning is easy too - daily soaks w/ 1/4 denture tablet, weekly soak in 3% peroxide.
