Sept. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- A recent study showed that 60% of CPAP users completely abandon CPAP therapy.  CPAP is the single most effective therapy but is worthless if it is not used.

Patients who do not tolerate CPAP can chose the Oral Appliance alternative that has been accepted by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine as a first line treatment for mild to moderate sleep apnea.  Even patients with severe apnea that do not tolerate CPAP are considered candidates for Oral Appliance Therapy according to AASM guidelines.

The National Sleep Foundation has declared that "Oral Appliances are a therapy whose time has come!"
