    SAN DIEGO, CA, November 10, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With CPAP compliance at less than 50%, it's important that sleep apnea sufferers who are not using their prescribed CPAP machine or can't tolerate it discuss oral appliance therapy with their doctor. A Wall Street Journal article "The New Face of Sleep Apnea", by Kris Maher reported that research suggests the number of people with life threatening sleep apnea will increase as the population ages.

San Diego Sleep Apnea Dentist Dr. James Loye offers an oral appliance alternative to CPAP for sleep and snoring suffers who can't tolerate CPAP and want to improve their health with a full night sleep.

While prescribed CPAP is considered the "gold standard" in sleep apnea treatment, many sleep-challenged folks are now opting to breath easy with a lightweight dental appliance that keep the airway open, ensuring a restful night sleep.

Below is a dental appliance testimonial excerpt from a Wall Street Journal feature article:

"When he started waking in the middle of the night choking, Dave Morton, a 35-year-old co-president of an online car-rental company in New York, sought help. At a sleep lab, he was diagnosed with sleep apnea, and his doctor prescribed a CPAP machine. But exhaling against the device's airflow made him feel disoriented, and he often threw the mask off in his sleep. (Sinus problems may have contributed to his difficulties, he says.) "I was very stressed and couldn't sleep," Mr. Morton recalls. "I never woke up feeling refreshed"."

"After two years of on-and-off CPAP use, Mr. Morton switched to a dental appliance. He was tested in a sleep lab with the appliance, and his apnea score dropped sharply. "I'm happier and healthier," he said. "I can tell my brain is working better again"."

In addition, New York Times' Journalist Walecia Konrad put snoring in the spotlight with an interview with Atlanta internist Dr. Elizabeth Walton in the article "Snoring: What to Do When a Punch in the Shoulder Fails". Below is a dental appliance testimonial excerpt from Konrad's NY Times health feature:

"Dr. Elizabeth Walton, a 43-year-old internist in Atlanta and the mother of twin 4-year-old boys, has a common, if sometimes embarrassing, health problem. She snores loudly. And she has tried to fix it with a variety of things, including a machine that blows air down her throat and an oral appliance that looks something like a mouth-guard worn by a hockey player. "

The appliance works, and Dr. Walton is finally sleeping more easily. (So is her partner.) And because she was told she had obstructive sleep apnea, a more serious disorder than simple snoring, her treatments have been mostly covered by insurance. "
