Just put it in any small cardboard box and have it shipped as you would do with a small bag, then collect it from the baggage collection place upon arrival.

Small cardboard box might get easily lost; also, you now have to wait for the baggage collection.

Then lose your knife ok.

Do you have a link? It'd make the most perfect gift for a friend!

Unfortunately it's not the sort of thing you purchase for a friend. You need to go to orthodontic specialist, get a custom mould of your teeth created (this can involve electrical stimulation of your jaw muscles in order to get them into a relaxed position), and titration of the apparatus after the lab delivers it.

I got a tooth protector (the kind that's used for boxing) on amazon with a self-mold: you return it to the company that makes the final plastic thingie for you.

That'd be the preferred option, as it doesn't require any prescription or interaction with a specialist whose interest might not be aligned with the patients (multiple office visits = an opportunity to milk the insurance for more money)

If no company offers an option, I see an opportunity there!

With respect - sleep apnea is not something you should be fooling around with.
