Description
The Aveo TSD anti snoring device is specifically classified as a tongue stabilization device (TSD). It works by holding the tongue in a forward position, which helps maintain an open upper airway during sleep. The device is made from a soft, flexible material that molds to fit the tongue, aiming to reduce or eliminate snoring and improve breathing for individuals with obstructive sleep apnea. It's a non-prescriptive solution that may benefit those looking to address snoring without the use of drugs or invasive procedures.

Directions
To use the Aveo TSD anti-snoring aid, first ensure that the device is clean. Hold it with the V notch facing upward, and place your tongue inside the bulb of the device, squeezing the bulb to create negative pressure that will lightly hold your tongue. Gradually relax your tongue into the suctioned area. The device may take a few trials to achieve the correct fit but typically works by gently pulling the tongue forward, which can reduce snoring.
It's important to start with short periods of use to acclimate to the sensation, increasing usage as comfort allows. Users should be aware that while the device is designed for ease of use, it may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with respiratory disorders, severe nasal congestion, or who have a full set of dentures. It's suggested to consult with a healthcare provider if you have any of these conditions or if you experience any ongoing discomfort or side effects.

The Aveo TSD can be a beneficial tool for reducing snoring, but it is important to use it wisely and be aware of when to seek professional advice.
Side Effects
Users of the Aveo TSD anti snoring aid may notice several common side effects, which typically arise from the device's direct contact with the tongue and mouth. For instance, individuals have reported tongue tenderness, excess salivation, and sometimes jaw discomfort. While these symptoms might cause a level of inconvenience, they often diminish as the user adjusts to the device.
In addition, some wearers may experience minor tongue swelling, which is temporary. Serious side effects are less common but can occur with the use of the Aveo TSD. In rare instances, a person could have a severe allergic reaction to the material of the device, which would require immediate medical attention. Long-term gum or dental health issues are potential risks if the device is not fitted correctly or is used improperly.
