TMD/TMJ Solutions: NTI-tss

The FDA has cleared for marketing for the first time, a device that prevents medically diagnosed migraine pain, tension-type headache, and jaw disorders ("TMJ"), without drugs or surgery, through the reduction of trigeminally innervated muscular activity.

Chronic symptoms of the head and neck can often be attributed to:

• Headache -- the temporalis muscle (it closes and clenches the jaw)
• Sinus pressure and pain -- the lateral pterygoid muscles (it moves the jaw side to side and/or forward)
• Neck stiffness and pain -- trapezius muscle (it stabilizes the skull during jaw clenching and grinding)

Migraine Prevention -- Headache Prevention

The N.T.I. Tension Suppression System is a prefabricated polycarbonate matrix that a dental practitioner retro-fits to the patient's teeth . It is completely different from any other type of mouthpiece.

The NTI device snaps into place and fits comfortably on either the upper or lower front teeth. It is worn during sleep and prevents the intensity of muscular parafunction. For migraine sufferers, there is a more discreet version for daytime use, which is usually required (in addition to the pictured nighttime device) for 6 to 8 weeks for best results.

Chronic, intense nighttime muscular parafunction has been shown to be a considerable influence on the triggering of migraine events. In clinical trials, 82% of medically diagnosed migraine patients had a 77% reduction in migraine episodes within the first eight weeks of use.
