Advanced Yet Simplified Help for Jaw & Bite Problems

For many people the way their teeth fit together causes stress on the jaw muscles and joints. Many people grind or clench their teeth. Regardless of the reason, a poor bite and frequent grinding and/or clenching can cause serious damage and pain to teeth, jawbone and the muscles and joints controlling the jaw. Too many people suffer from headaches, head and neck muscle pain as well as ear pain, including popping and clicking noises near the ear when they open or close the mouth.

Whether the problem is due to a poor bite or frequent grinding or clenching, the jaw muscles never get a chance to rest. They are overworked, fatigued and go into spasm. Some people can wear their teeth right down to the gum line and others can experience loose teeth.  Thousands of people suffer from debilitating migraine headaches or frequent sinus headaches that don’t seem to get better with antibiotics. The chewing muscles (which, by the way, the biggest one covers pretty much your entire head!) need a chance to rest. An NTI-tss can provide rest for the muscles and thus alleviate all the above symptoms.  So many patients are concerned with long term medication use, not only because of the high cost but also because of the potential side effects.  The NTI is non-invasive and requires only one or two appointments to be custom fitted to the patient.  It is quicker to fabricate then previous appliances used for these problems, and it has been shown to give more complete relief. It is so effective the FDA has approved it for reduction of pain for migraine headache sufferers. It is custom fitted to your upper or lower front teeth, and provides a flat surface for your opposing front teeth to rest on in whatever position is comfortable for your jaw muscles. It also helps break the cycle of grinding or clenching, which other appliances do not.
