I am in the same category as the OP as can't tolerate any kind of mask (think tarantulas on face). I tried about ten styles and all freaked me out. About three weeks ago I had a custom made dental appliance made and am gradually getting used to sleeping with it. A bit of rubbing on gum on one side so will have to go for adjustment. No jaw pain or stiffness. I have severe OSA (68 AHI) so I need some sort of treatment. I did like the daily data with CPAP and have got a fitbit which tracks sleep quality which gives me a bit of a clue as to what's going on. I will have another sleep study with the dental splint in place closer to Christmas.
