Using the aveoTSD -
Are there different sizes of the device? - One size fits most adults. The aveoTSD was designed after careful research to the best size and shape.
When should I replace my current aveoTSD? - With careful cleaning and storage when not in use your aveoTSD will last 1-2 years. It may become misshapen over time in which case we suggest ordering a new device. Do not use if split or dirty.
How do I clean the device? - After each use rinse thoroughly with warm water and store in the provided container. Do not use sterilzing agents, detergents, soap or toothpaste as this may cause residue to build up inside. It can be cleaned by placing in boiled water, but not sterilzed in an autoclave.
Does it take long to get used to? - Most users find it takes 2 or more sessions to become accustomed. Practice makes perfect. As with any oral device (mouthgaurds etc.) your tongue and mouth will quickly adjust.
The device keeps slipping off my tongue – is that usual? - See the aveoTSD user instructions in the package. Rinse under warm tap water, squeeze bulb and place tongue in device, finding the right fit to ensure it doesn’t fall off. Too loose will result in it falling off during sleep. Denture cream is used by aveoTSD users to make it stay on easier during sleep – a small dab is put on the top of the tongue before placing the device on your tongue. The denture cream can be removed by toothbrush.
My tongue is tender or feels bruised – should I be concerned? - See aveoTSD user instructions. Ensure that the device is not too tight. Tenderness and minor bruising on the end of the tongue can occur, but does disappear with time. If this continues, please speak to your doctor and/or contact us via email, fax or phone.
Are there any other side effects? Side effects may include dry mouth, drooling and minor mouth irritation. These normally subside after regular use. |
