aveo Tongue Stabilizing Device - has anybody seen this?

Post by SelfSeeker » Fri Sep 29, 2006 6:09 am

aveo Tongue Stabilizing Device is approved in Canada.

Never heard of it before until I followed a link from the streaming CPAPA and Sleep Apnea News and found the following link.

I can do this, I will do this.

My disclaimer: I'm not a doctor, nor have I ever worked in the health care field Just my personal opinions.

Go to the top of the page and click on the "Search" function. Type in AVEO and you'll see a number of threads listed.

I tried it.
I never could get past the discomfort.
Also its impossible to get it to hold suction for the entire night.
It never worked as well as a dental device for ME.

I can't say if how it would work for others, since everyone is different.

what they need to come up with:

1. Implant a rare earth magnet about the size of a dime into your tongue.
2. Create a acrylic* or metal ortho retainer you wear at night, if acrylic it has another rare earth magnet with opposite polarity molded in it.

it would work by:

when the retainer gets worn at night, the tongue will attract to the retainer/magnet and prevent the tongue from falling into the back of the throat thereby preventing the blockage of the airway we know as OSA.

See it is not all that difficult, very simple actually.

Even easier...........
With body piercings being so in fashion today...
Simply loop a rubberband through your nose ring, and then hook it onto your tongue piercing.

It doesn't get any simpler and you are even on top of cutting edge fashion while dealing with OSA.
