As someone with OSA - and a busted TMJ, so no mandibular advancement for me -, let me tell you: CPAP sucks.
Sure, you die slower, you snore a hell of a lot less, and you feel more rested and energized. That's all (truly, no snark) great.
But it sucks. Spontaneous sleepovers become impossible. Travel becomes a chore. Sleeping with bedfellows now comes with a noisy attachment. You have to rent or buy a relatively expensive machine. You have to get annual checkups, and you have to give up a fair amount of privacy to prove you are complying with the therapy... Not that much fun.
I even heard on Joe Rogan that he has to use one. Not sure why more people don't know about it. I guess it depends on whether your doctor or dentist diagnoses it, but that shouldn't be the case. They should exchange more information!
Have you looked into the portable CPAPs they are much smaller, Resmed has one. Still a pain but nice for travel.
I’ve also seen online cpap companies that send you a at home test that qualifies for coverage.
