HOW TO USE AIRWAAV

It’s important to understand that your tongue is a muscle and this device will help train & position your tongue to allow optimized performance

TONGUE PLACEMENT

Move tongue forward placing it under the Intake Bar on the inside of your lower teeth. Placing your tongue in this position along with your tongue’s reaction to the fitting material on the inside of your molars causes the tongue to flex opening the airway and improving the O2/CO2 exchange, which lowers your respiratory rate and decreases the production of lactic acid.

SLIGHT CLINCH

Gently bite down and breathe through your mouth. Gently clenching will help hold the mouthpiece in place and has been cited to affect tongue activity and to position your jaw in a way that optimizes the airway opening to help support the O2/CO2 exchange. It also reduces the production of cortisol helping your muscles recover faster after intense workouts.
