I don't recommend a dental appliance.

CPAP is the gold standard of treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It will work 100% of the time.

A dental appliance may or may not work (usually not), and when all is said and done you will be out thousands of dollars for something that may not work.

Get a sleep study done, if you have obstructive sleep apnea give a CPAP machine a shot. Most respiratory companies will let you trial it for a few weeks before making you buy it.
