I've seen this on a couple of people. Any problem with liquids you swallow getting back up into your nasopharynx (ie: nose)?
The oral sleep apnea/snoring appliance can be quite helpful, but have to be careful if one is truly apneic. I made one for a patient who liked to go out hunting/camping and there was simply no place to plug in his CPAP. Called an EMA (elastic mandibular advancement) appliance, it essentially opens your mouth and thrusts the jaw forward a bit to open the airway.
