There isn't a CPAP mask under the sun that works for me, so now the Dr. has reccomended an oral appliance. It will pull my lower jaw forward, preventing apnea from happening (supposedly). Has anyone else had such an applicance, and if so - what's your experience been like? Any success, or a waste of my time and money?

p.s. There's a wonderful gel nasal mask, but I have such a time with allergies, I can't always breathe out my nose. My jaw is so narrow, they are unable to find a full-face mask that will work.
