Is there anything other than MRA to keep your jaw not falling back?

Is there anything other than MRA to keep your jaw not falling back?
Hi all,

My question is for my UARS where my tongue/jaw fall-back is the main suspect for creating a narrow upper airway. I tolerate my bi-level well, but was thinking how to improve therapy (still not great) with the idea I can potentially lower my pressure if I had a way to make sure my jaw stays more into forward position. This should reduce flow limitations, but I am not aware of an "external MRA" to be used together with PAP therapy. A chin strap won't do (for me).

Anything commercially available?
