More portable yes, more effective no. Sleep Apnea is the constant shut down of air flow, any good doctor will tell you oral appliance will only help, but not eliminate the problems of sleep apnea brings (lack of enough oxygen intake during sleep.) CPAP is the way to go if you don't want to have brain and heart damages caused by sleep apnea, even for mild.
