If it's relatively minor apnea, the oral appliances do work. My wife has told me that my snoring has completely stopped when I wear it, and the snoring comes back if I forget. In combination with a fair amount of weight loss (about ~55lbs over the course of a year), I feel a lot better.

I use the walmart-brand breath-right nasal strips every night as well. I don't know if they actually do anything for me, but they're also inexpensive and they're not uncomfortable, so I figure it's an extremely cheap and harmless placebo if nothing else, and they certainly feel like they're doing something.

My wife wore those strips for years and is now having several cancerous lesions removed right where the adhesive was.

Huh, not saying you're wrong but I can't seem to find any studies into this.

Obviously I don't want cancer on my nose, so I would actually like to see how correlated these things are.

+1 on the oral appliance. They took a mold of my teeth/jaws and it took a couple of weeks to get it.

All it did was make my lower jaw jut out a bit. It sufficed. Apnea kaputt!
