Yes. My doctor suggested a choice between a CPAP machine to maintain a positive pressure of oxygen through a mask attached to a machine, and a plastic mouthpiece that would keep my lower jaw projecting forward. That cost $2000, and insurance refused to pay for it.

That worked well enough, but what worked better was exercising and losing weight. Exercising was not what achieved the weight loss, although it had myriad good effects. What made losing weight possible was eliminating sugar. In particular, eliminating all sugar not accompanied by fiber. Sugar in fruit is fine because (except in grapes!) fruit has plenty of fiber. Juice doesn't.

Actually having sleep apnea can itself interfere with losing weight. So, get treatment for that, then work on losing the weight.

I wish it would be as easy as losing weight. I’m not overweight. My BMI is 23.5. Still, I tried dropping 10 pounds but it made no difference to my symptoms.
