My husband did not like the idea about using a cpap mask. is this the only treatment for sleep apnea?

No: Oral Devices that pull the lower jaw forward are another option..known as Mandibular Advancement Devices. The are considered appropriate treatment for mild/ moderate apnea and severe apnea with CPAP failure by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. These are complex devices and need to made by a qualified dentist...not bought on Ebay!

Oral appliance : therapy is an alternative treatment for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea for patients who are CPAP intolerant. The device fits like a sports mouth guard or orthodontic retainer. There are a variety of oral appliances that can treat obstructive sleep apnea and need to be individually chosen. See an OFP specialist, they are also an expert in dental sleep disorders.
