Headache Treatment

Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Tension Suppression System - NTI-tss

Clenching your teeth attributes to many problems such as headaches, sore jaw, stiff neck, and sensitive teeth.  Clenching is caused by the temporalis muscles, located on the sides of your head, and used for chewing or closing your mouth.  The temporalis muscles are some of the strongest muscles on your body.  When these muscles tense up, they create high-intensity contractions, which can cause morning and tension headaches, and even damage surrounding joints, teeth, or other muscles.

 

The NTI-tss dental device is approved by the FDA to reduce the intensity of the clenching, minimizing the stress and tension to your jaw joints, neck muscles, and teeth.  The tiny, clear-plastic device is worn while you sleep.  It fits over your top two front teeth, making clenching virtually impossible.  Relief can be expected within a few hours to a few weeks.
