That can cause all kinds of problems including Heart Arrhythmias, which is what I'm currently dealing with as a result of going untreated for 10 years.
May not have any problems today, tomorrow, next week or next month or even or anytime soon, but possibly, years from now, you just might either not wake up one morning, or maybe you wake up with severe, debilitating complications. Or worse, end up on a breathing machine or in a wheel chair. How would you wife feel then?
Oral appliances or mouthpieces are only a partial fix and do not "cure" sleep apnea. As someone else mentioned, it seems few people benefit from using one. Sure, they can reduce snoring, but once you change sleeping positions, your jaw and airway are impacted which starts the snoring again or even worsens it. Yes, I've tried two different oral appliances. They cannot open your airway or tell your brain when to breath. Your blood oxygen is almost certainly desaturating during these apnic/hypopnic events, which in turn starves your organs, most notably, your brain of air.
