The apparatus is configured to deliver breathable air under continuous positive air pressure to a person who requires such treatment. The apparatus includes a dentally stabilized platform and a nose mask, nose piece or nasal tubes resiliently mounted on the platform and urged toward nasal engagement and rhinal seal. In the case of configurations including nose masks and nose pieces, the force applied from the dentally stabilized platform is through a resilient connection. Various nose masks, nose piece and nostril engaging air tubes carrying nasal pads are disclosed. In each case, the resilient mounting on the dentally stabilized platform provides the necessary air seal. Air which is enhanced by medication or added oxygen may be supplied by the apparatus.
