NTI Headache, Teeth Grinding And Migraine Treatment

NTI Splint for TMJ treatmentHeadaches can be a nuisance, and migraines have the ability to ruin your life. The pain that is caused along with the sensitivity to light, and the nausea can make your daily activities like driving, working or caring for your family an impossible task. Most people resort to prescription drugs as a remedy for migraines without understanding that these medications will leave behind side effects and are simply not the best solution available.

Dentists have a better treatment to deal with migraines and do not require patients to use any prescription medications. The device they have is called NTI  which looks small but delivers big results.

Why Do People Have Migraines?

Many people suffer from migraines because they are clenching their teeth and grinding their jaws when they are sleeping and therefore, do not really understand their actions.

  • The grinding and clenching aggravate a fascial nerve that affects the areas of the eyes, the forehead, the upper and the lower jaw. This is known as the trigeminal nerve.
  • The nerve becomes over stimulated because of the stress and causes the migraines and other types of chronic discomfort in reaction against the stress.

How can NTI provide relief from migraines?

NTI TSS is also known as the Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Tension Suppression System. The name certainly sounds difficult to pronounce but the device that has been created in the treatment is not similar. It is just a small piece of custom molded acrylic that can fit comfortably between the front teeth.

The NTI can prevent your teeth from coming together and your jaw muscles from engaging as you bite down. This will allow the nerve in your mouth to relax and return to normal function.

This device has the approval of the FDA for migraines and is available with dentists. You will be happy to know that can custom-fit the device to provide the relief you need from migraines.
