The AveoTSD (tongue stabilising device) is manufactured from soft medical silicone for comfort and works by holding the tongue forward by gentle suction, preventing it from falling back against the back of the throat , keeping the airway open during sleep.

Medicine Classification:
General Sale

Purpose:
AveoTSD stops or reduces snoring.

General:
 

The aveoTSD anti-snoring aid was developed following several years of clinical research in the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)

Unlike oral dental devices , the aveoTSD does not attach to the teeth, and does not require specialist fitting by a dental professional

The aveoTSD is a non-adjustable universal device that is the most cost effective and simple to use. Approved by the FDA in the US as a medical device

A Dunedin orthodontist has invented a remedy for snoring that he hopes will save lives and marriages and make life better for millions of people

Dr Chris Robertson has spent the past eight years developing and trialling the aveoTSD, a device put in the mouth to hold the tongue forward to stop snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea, where breathing stops during sleep.

Manufactured in Christchurch, New Zealand, users say the device is like using a dummy that makes them sleep like a baby.

Sleep apnoea is related to a range of problems from high blood pressure and diabetes to depression, not to mention the relationship strife and misery caused by snoring partners, and road deaths caused by drivers falling asleep at the wheel

Using the unique aveoTSD anti snoring aid:

• Stops or reduces Snoring * enriching you & your partners life through reduced sleep disturbances
• Reduces of Stops Day time sleepiness & falling asleep at inappropriate times and the effects of this on your physical & intellectual performance
• Is effective in the treatment of sleep apnoea - the gasping for breath whilst asleep
• Blood pressure and associated problems reduced with quality sleep
• Effective in the treatment of morning headaches
• Prevents the progression of sleep disordered breathing

What causes SNORING?
SNORING is caused by a narrowed airway during sleep. This can be due to large tonsils, a long soft palate or uvula, or, in people who are overweight, excessive flabby tissue with all those areas relaxing during sleep. Also nasal congestion from allergies or deformities of the cartilage between the two sides of the nose and other internal nasal structures, all contribute to a narrowing of the airway

The most common cause of a narrowed airway is, however, a tongue muscle that relaxes too much during sleep and gets sucked back into the airway with each breath taken

SNORING occurs because air travels faster through a narrow tube than through a broad one. This rapidly moving air causes the relaxed tissues of the throat (the tonsils, soft palate and uvula) to vibrate. It is this vibration which is the sound we know as SNORING

By keeping the airway open, air travels slower, reducing the vibrations in the throat ? reducing or stopping SNORING

One of the most effective ways to keep the airway open during sleep is by holding the tongue forward - keeping the airway open

Is SNORING harmful?
New research suggests that loud SNORING can cause hypertension and as a result increased blood pressure during sleep

SNORING can progress into a medical condition known as OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNOEA ( OSA ) - the word apnoea is Greek for without breath, where the tongue is completely sucked against the back of the throat and breathing stops. This airway obstruction causes the heart rate to fall below normal with decreases in blood oxygen levels. The obstruction will not clear until the brain oxygen level falls low enough to partially awaken the sleeper with a release of adrenaline to prevent suffocation . The airway obstruction is usually broken with gasps taking in oxygen O2 and expelling excess carbon dioxide CO2. Due to the adrenaline release the heart rate is now increased above normal. These events may happen hundreds of times a night, not allowing deep restorative sleep, and causing reduced blood oxygen levels

Sleep quality awareness is now joining EXERCISE and DIET as a requirement for COMPLETE WELLNESS
