Have you used an oral appliance? Is it effective for your sleep apnea? Was it expensive? What are your reviews?
Take care,

Hi and thanks for asking about oral appliances. I don't have 1, yet was tried to be fitted for 1. It's like a Huge retainer. I have mouth guard, as I grind teeth, but appliance didn't seem quite right. A good friend uses 1 & I've gotten her to & from appointments. She swears by it, same way I swear by full spectrum light. I would believe insurance would cover cost of appliance. It is used for health improvement.

Hi
I was wondering if anyone uses an oral appliance for sleep apnea? From what I understand, its a custom "retainer" of sorts. Did your insurance cover it? Does it help?
