I'm just co-signing on maybe you are a good candidate for an oral mask as linked above. Have not used one myself but knew someone who did as she was unable to get enough air through her nose due to an anatomical anomaly that couldn't be corrected by the usual ENT surgeries. Craniofacial reconstruction was not a good option and she was well adjusted and quite a loyalist to her oral mask.
