There's dental mouthpieces but you need a sleep study for insurance to cover it. And let a dentist make it, not the over the counter type.

Cpap is the standard therapy.can try a a mouthpiece as well.
Surgery for sleep apnea has mixed outcomes as the types of surgery usually have to be tailored to the pt, and this is not always well done.
If you have a lower AHI , surgery may be able to "cure" you, but most often people still need a CPAP despite the surgery (allows lower pressures to be used).
Standard surgical therapies included tonsillectomy/UPPP/sphincteroplasty, base of tongue reduction. Can get more involved with tongue advancement surgeries etc.
If you have a low BMI and moderate to severe ahi, you may be a could candidate for the new tongue stimulation (inspire). Think like a pacemaker for your tongue while you sleep.
Lots of stuff out there though if you are adamant about not having the CPAP machine.

Have you had your tonsils removed? That helped me quite a bit.

My wife's sleep apnea was bad. She went thru 2 sleep studies and finally decided that surgery was the way to go. The surgeon broke her jaw and moved it forward then put bars and screws in to keep it that way.

TAP device?

I have been using the Somnomed appliance for 2 years now and cannot sleep at night without it. The thing is a life saver.
I had the CPAP machine and could not stand the damn thing. After 2 weeks it got shoved under the bed.
