The provider doesn't even accept insurance. We are submitting the claim, not sure what they might cover, but she was referred there by the sleep clinic. Maybe we'll get something back. At least we have an HSA, that's what it is for. *

My wife got a very expensive appliance for her mouth to treat her moderate sleep apnea. It stopped her snoring that drove me to another room a couple of times a week. She clearly is better rested. - By Kevin September 23, 2026 at 11:23:22 AM
- I was diagnosed with a very mild case of sleep apnea about 10 years ago. The sleep doc referred me to a dentist who specialized in these devices. They wanted like $3k-$4k for it. I tried a $100 device from Amazon - By apblue September 23, 2026 at 12:32:49 PM
- Is this the one they implant to send jolts to the mouth to open the airway?* - By ajs September 23, 2026 at 11:56:11 AM

    - Does her jaw feel stiff in the morning?* - By mjhollen September 23, 2026 at 12:22:56 PM
- Did she try the CPAP machine? My mom has one and hates it. She thinks she sleeps worse with it. She is considering the mouthguard thing* - By mjhollen September 23, 2026 at 11:31:44 AM
  - I just started CPAP after 15 years of oral appliance - By MR September 23, 2026 at 11:55:52 AM
  - She did not, went straight to the appliance. * - By Kevin September 23, 2026 at 11:40:18 AM
    - Is it just one of those lower jaw forward advancement devices, like a bite guard?* - By blueguy September 23, 2026 at 11:47:48 AM
      - I guess so, also supposed to keep her tongue down somehow. * - By Kevin September 23, 2026 at 11:57:22 AM
        
        If only they invented a product to keep women's tongues from wagging in the day time too, amirite fellas?* - By jjwalker September 23, 2026 at 12:12:54 PM
        
        That's been highly effective in my home as well. I'd strongly recommend for anyone who struggles with a CPAP - By blueguy September 23, 2026 at 12:03:05 PM
        
        What device?* - By crumbs September 23, 2026 at 12:12:24 PM
        
        I've tried several variations... - By blueguy September 23, 2026 at 12:35:03 PM
