Breakthrough Treatment for Bruxism, Migraines, and TMJ Dysfunction
NTI Device Takes the Bite Out of Pain Do you suffer from migraine headaches, jaw pain, earaches, or facial spasms? If so, you may suffer from TMJ dysfunction.
What is TMJ dysfunction?
TMJ dysfunction occurs when the little nerves in front of the ear, located in your jaw joints, become over stimulated from excessive force caused by tooth grinding and clenching (bruxism), a misaligned bite, or facial injury. The pain radiates along the nerve and into the shoulders, neck, head and face, but Dr. Davis offers help with the revolutionary NTI-tss splint.
What is NTI-tss?
The NTI-tss is a simple oral appliance worn at night to interrupt the involuntary tug of war between the jaw and temporal muscles, reducing clenching intensity by 75 percent, thus reducing the barrage of negative impulses transmitted by nerves. The device causes muscles to relax in a stable position so that you and those hyperactive, malfunctioning muscles can rest. Often this eliminates bruxism-related migraines and various kinds of TMJ pain. Some patients experience relief after one night, while others find comfort after a few weeks of wearing the NTI-tss.
If you suffer from bruxism, migraines, or TMJ pain, ask about the NTI-tss. You deserve relief. Call Dr. Davis at SMILES OF SANTA FE today for your consultation. A better night's sleep is just a phone call away for patients across the area.
