For many people the way their teeth fit together causes stress on the
jaw muscles and joints. Several 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
that control the jaw. 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. Often it is due to a
poor bite, clenching or grinding of the teeth.
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, some will experience loose teeth, and some will have pain
in or near the ear and possible radiating over the head and neck. The
muscles
need a chance to rest. A new device, known as an NTI-tss, can provide
rest for the muscles and thus alleviate all the above symptoms. 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 front teeth, and provides a flat
surface for your lower 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 used in the past did not do.
