It might look a bit flimsy with the dental rubber bands, but that's actually the best feature. Most other oral appliances have a hook or solid point where both halves of the top/bottom mouth pieces are locked in place. What happens is that after 6-12 months of usage, the stress points will eventually break and you are left with a useless device. This has happened to me with 3 previous "solid locked" devices. The zyppah device requires you to change out the dental rubber bands every few weeks, but the flex it gives and longevity is worth it.
If you have moderate-severe apnea, just go to a dentist who also specialize in sleep apnea and get it taken care of. You would be amazed at the difference it makes.
