Good question. Yes, I still use the CPAP and I really love it. It's not something I even notice when sleeping any longer. The devices are also very quiet now (I use an AirSense10 with heated line and nasal pillows). Combining SleepyHead software to look into the data and with a Dreem sleep device for EEG, it's incredible the quality of sleep I get. I used to also add pulseox data, but I've since stopped since it never fluctuated while using the CPAP correctly. I've also had turbinate and nasal polyp issues my whole life until I began CPAP usage--the filtered, warm, moist air has done wonders for my sinuses, to the point where I avoided surgery.
So to answer your question, no, I got my time with the MAD. I do not expect to be able to go back to it. I view it as a temporary solution in hindsight since around the 8-10 yr mark it will permanently change your jaw. It allowed me freedom to sleep at partners houses and travel, but now that I have kids and stuff, I no longer need the flexibility of the MAD. Plus, I like being able to chew food normally :)
