What is NTI?

 

Do you suffer from debilitating tension headaches, migraine pain or painful problems with your jaw joint?  While a variety of lifestyle and health issues can complicate these problems, recent research has shown that intense, prolonged jaw clenching is the main cause of these symptoms.

When muscles have been constantly contracting, they become tense and sore.  Clenching keeps the muscles involved in opening and closing your jaw in a constant state off tension and varying degrees of pain.  It can also strain your sinuses and cause your neck to feel stiff.

How the NTI Tension Suppression System works

Furtunately, we now have a simple device that can significantly reduce the intensity of jaw clenching and the painful problems it causes.  It's called the NTI Tension Supression System.  It works by preventing contact between molars and canine teeth.  Without this contact, your jaw cannot clench intensely, and your muscles will not become fatigued.  The NTI is a small acrylic appliance that is customized to fit your bite precisely.  It is about the size of the top third of your thumb and is worn securely over your upper or lower teeth while you sleep or at other times when you find yourself clenching.

One appointment is all it takes

In just one appointment we can create your NTI appliance.  

The NTI is the only device approved by the FDA for the prevention of migraine pain.  It's twice as effective as any preventive medication and is an easy, effective way to treat your headaches and jaw pain without medication or extended therapy.
