Tongue Retaining Device Market is Estimated to Witness High Growth Owing to Increasing Prevalence of Sleep Apnea

The tongue retaining device market has been gaining high traction in the recent years. Tongue retaining devices are oral devices used to treat sleep apnea. These devices prevent collapse of upper airway during sleep by holding the tongue in a forward position to prevent obstruction of air flow. Oral appliances facilitate breathing by positioning the lower jaw slightly forward and opening the airway. Factors such as increasing prevalence of sleep apnea, growing awareness regarding sleep apnea management, and benefits of oral devices such as portability and comfort are fueling adoption of tongue retaining devices.

The Tongue Retaining Device Market is estimated to be valued at USD 578.8 Mn in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 1,184.7 Mn by 2031, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8% from 2024 to 2031.

Key Takeaways Key players operating in the tongue retaining device market are AveoTSD, ZYPPAH, Good Morning Snore Solution, VitalSleep, SnoreRx, SnoreMender, SleepPro, Airway Management, Apnea Sciences Corporation, SomnoMed, Respire Medical, TheraSnore, SleepTight Mouthpiece, Oventus Medical, AccuMED Technologies, ResMed, ZenSleep, BluePro.

The rising patient pool for sleep apnea presents significant growth opportunities for players in the Tongue Retaining Devices Market Demand  According to the Sleep Apnea Foundation, more than 18 million Americans have sleep apnea, but an estimated 80% of moderate to severe cases remain undiagnosed. Players are focused on expanding access through partnerships and awareness campaigns.

Growing acceptance of oral appliances for treatment of sleep apnea globally is also fueling market growth. While CPAP machines remain the standard of care, oral devices offer an effective non-invasive alternative especially for patients unwilling or unable to tolerate CPAP therapy. Manufacturers are developing advanced digital solutions and targeting emerging markets like Asia Pacific and Latin America for global expansion.

Market Drivers Increasing prevalence of sleep apnea owing to rising risk factors such as obesity is a major driver for Tongue Retaining Devices Market Size And Trends Sleep apnea if left untreated can increase risk of hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. This has boosted adoption of oral therapy devices for effective sleep apnea management. Furthermore, growing awareness about risks of untreated sleep apnea and available treatment options also boost the tongue retaining device market.

PEST Analysis Political: Tongue retaining devices are classified as medical devices and are subject to healthcare regulations regarding safety and efficacy set by regulatory bodies like the FDA in the US. Compliance to such regulations is important for manufacturers and market growth.

Economic: Increased disposable income and rising healthcare spending have boosted demand for comfortable anti-snoring devices. Growing awareness about ill-effects of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea are major factors driving the tongue retaining devices market.

Social: With increasing stress levels and busy lifestyles, more people suffer from sleep disorders like snoring which disturbs sleeping partners. This has increased social acceptance for using tongue retaining devices to reduce or stop snoring.

Technological: Advances in materials like silicone and manufacturing processes have improved the comfort and effectiveness of tongue retaining devices. Some devices now use sensors and mobile applications for monitoring sleep patterns and customizing treatment. Integrating new technologies aids market expansion.

North America holds the largest share of the tongue retaining devices market, driven by extensive research in sleep disorders, availability of advanced products and rising awareness about associated health issues.

Do you conlang? I was wondering if you had naming languages (or possibly even more developed ones) for pulling the words you use. I tried to search your blog but didn't find anything, wouldn't be surprised if the feature is just busted tho. Your worldbuilding is wonderful and I particularly enjoy the anthropological and linguistic elements.

Ok the thing is I had kind of decided I was not going to do any conlanging because I don't feel like I'm equipped to do a good job of it, like was fully like "I'm just going to do JUST enough that it doesn't fail an immediate sniff test and is more thoughtful than just keysmashing and putting in vowels". And then have kinda been conlanging anyway (though not to a very deep and serious extent. I maybe have like....an above average comprehension of how language construction works via willingness to research, but that's not saying much, also I can never remember the meanings of most linguistic terms like 'frictives' or etc off the top of my head. I'm just kinda raw dogging it with a vague conceptualization of what these things mean)

I do at least have a naming language for Wardi (and more basic rules for other established languages) but the rudimentary forms of it were devised with methods much shakier and less linguistically viable than even the most basic naming language schemes, and I only went back over it LONG after I had already made a bunch of words so there's some inconsistencies with consonant presence and usage. (This can at least be justified because it IS a language that would have a lot of loanwords and would be heavily influenced by other language groups- Burri being by far the most significant, Highland-Finnic and Yuroma-Lowlands also being large contributors)

The 'method' I used was:

-Skip basic construction elements and fully move into devising necessary name words, with at least a Vibe of what consonants are going to be common and how pronunciation works -Identify some roots out of the established words and their meanings. Establish an ongoing glossary of known roots/words. -Construct new words based in root words, or as obvious extensions/variants of established words. -Get really involved in how the literal meanings of some words might not translate properly to english, mostly use this to produce a glossary of in-universe slang. -Realize that I probably should have at least some very basic internal consistency at this point. -Google search tutorials on writing a naming language. -Reverse engineer a naming language out of established words, and ascribe all remaining inconsistencies to being loanwords or just the mysteries of life or whatever.

I do at least have some strongly established pronunciation rules and a sense of broad regional dialect/accents.

-'ai' words are almost always pronounced with a long 'aye' sound.

-There is no 'Z' or 'X' sound, a Wardi speaker pronouncing 'zebra' would go for 'tsee-brah', and would attempt 'xylophone' as 'ssye-lohp-hon'

-'V' sounds are nearly absent and occur only in loanwords, and tend to be pronounced with a 'W' sound. 'Virsum' is a Highland word (pronounced 'veer-soom') denoting ancestry, a Wardi speaker would go 'weer-sum'.

-'Ch' spellings almost always imply a soft 'chuh' sound when appearing after an E, I, or O (pelatoche= pel-ah-toh-chey), but a hard 'kh' sound after an A or U (odomache= oh-doh-mah-khe). When at the start of a word, it's usually a soft 'ch' unless followed by an 'i' sound (chin (dog) is pronounced with a hard K 'khiin', cholem (salt) is pronounced with a soft Ch 'cho-lehm')

-Western Wardin has strong Burri cultural and linguistic influence, and a distinct accent- one of the most pronounced differences is use of the ñ sound in 'nn' words. The western city of Ephennos is pronounced 'ey-fey-nyos' by most residents, the southeastern city of Erubinnos is pronounced 'eh-roo-been-nos' by most residents. Palo's surname 'Apolynnon' is pronounced 'A-puh-lee-nyon' in the Burri and western Wardi dialects (which is the 'proper' pronunciation, given that it's a Kos name), but will generally be spoken as 'Ah-poh-leen-non' in the south and east.

-R's are rolled in Highland-Finnic words. Rolling R's is common in far northern rural Wardi dialects but no others. Most urban Wardi speakers consider rolling R's sort of a hick thing, and often think it sounds stupid or at least uneducated. (Brakul's name should be pronounced with a brief rolled 'r', short 'ah' and long 'uul', but is generally being pronounced by his south-southeastern compatriots with a long unrolled 'Brah' sound).

Anyway not really a sturdy construction that will hold up to the scrutiny of someone well equipped for linguistics but not pure bullshit either.

hello. i am having severe feverish g/ojo thoughts.

"You mean him severely fevered, or that the thoughts are se-"

Yes.

.... As a former (one day there may be a return) writer of Guizhong, but also as a Liyue fanatic who is feral about the nation's heart, I can't believe Hutao Lover (a stupidly consistently accurate leaker) still insists Guizhong to be playable in the future. Stop it, stop this.

like ok lemme give you a fucking recap of my Dentistry Experience

>be me 9ish. go to dentist for first time since i was 3 bc my mom spent all our child support money on plane tickets. dentist says you have three cavities so big we need to pull your teeth

>they put me on anesthesia that i say doesnt work. it doesnt work so im in excruciating pain while they yank out the three teeth

>i get switched to second dentist and a few years later after x-ray am told my canines are growing into the roof of my mouth and i need surgery and braces to have them fixed. dentist then says i can keep on the braces after i get my canines fixed so my teeth will be straight. i tell him i don't care if my teeth are straight and i want them off as soon as my canines are in the right place

>get the surgery and start going to second dentist. he sometimes cuts pieces of my tongue off and after his visits im in so much pain i cant speak. when i ask when i'm getting my braces off he tells me to stop being impatient and refuses to give me an answer

>eventually he says that my canines should be fine and i say ok please take the braces off. he says no because my teeth aren't straight. my mom says no because my teeth aren't straight.

>dentist welds a metal bar to the top of my mouth. it's positioned so that it cuts into my tongue leaving me with a permanent bloody painful wound in my mouth for the several years it's in despite repeatedly telling him and mom what's happening and begging for them to take it out. they say no because my teeth aren't straight

>dentist welds a metal bar behind my bottom teeth with so much glue that after i finally got another dentist to remove it years later they weren't able to get all the glue off and it took several more appointments. also just to straighten my teeth

>YEARS LATER i get the dentist to remove the metal bar. it leaves a scar on my tongue that hasn't healed almost a decade later.

>YEARS LATER i get the dentist to remove the braces.

>after that they immediately give me a retainer they say i need to wear all day. i say for how long they say for the rest of my life. i say Why. they say because otherwise your teeth won't stay straight

>i do not wear the retainer because i already didn't care about my teeth being straight before all this happened and sure fucking didn't now. so my canines are still crooked so yeah all of that was for nothing

❝ The only thing I remember from high school French is the time I messed up during a test and told the teacher that my favorite store was winter. My favorite store. Was winter. Do you see the issue? ❞

[bonyfish]

my trick for making myself floss is to think about how the only dentist in town that demonstrably accepts my insurance acted like i was crazy when i asked him to put a mask on and then interrogated me about why i think my asthma makes me high risk

Actually speaking of which, i need help finding an Asian horror movie.

I'll give off the mayor plot points/things that stuck with me the most:

It was about a family of 3 (mom, daughter and step dad) moving to a new house

The daughter was a twin

The other twin got aborted and was now possessing the girl occasionally bc she was really pissed off

The kid was said to be a girl but the actor clearly had a cock which i still am confused about (trans ghost kid rights ig)

The movie is not dark and grimey it is actually very... Regular colored, for what i remember.

(rape m) The reason the protagonist was pregnant to begin with was because she used to work at a karaoke and some bad guys raped her. This is why she tried to abort the fetus.

Super minor but I think she aborted using a weird... Mix of spicy things. It's a pretty graphic scene iirc.

There's a mirror scene where the girl is trying to do her makeup and the twin is inside the mirror. This traumatized me a little 💀

The step dad is showering in one scene and the girl while possessed traps him inside as the water gets hotter and hotter.

He lives but ends up hospitalized in a bed covered in bandages where iirc the girl tries to kill him again.

The movie ends w the dead twin confronting her mother and then her trying to go back to the house only to find out it's not hers and her family is gone (very cryptic)

I tried asking TOMT but no one could quite figure out what i was talking about so I'm giving it a try here.

I could possibly find the og post to tell y'all which movies i know it isn't if anyone cares about that!
