NTI
Tension Suppression System
The most effective FDA-approved method of
migraine prevention
|
|
|
Custom fabrication of a lower NTI-type device
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Use .06"
thick "Clear Surgical Tray" vaccum form sheets. Paper towel was laid over the posterior segments to
facilitate the removal of the plastic |
You'll
need both orthodontic resin and SNAP acrylic
|
The first
layer of orthodontic resin along the incisal edges
|
|
|
|
Adapting
orthodontic resin in its damp, doughy stage, forming a Discluding
Element with a posterior projection to accomodate for extreme
protrusion...
|
If the
plastic is still warm, the resin
will harden very quickly.
|
Final
sculpting. There is an anterior projection to allow for the
opposing incisors to contact in retrusion.
|
|
|
|
|
If you
need to do a direct reline for added retention, SNAP will
NOT adhere to the plastic UNLESS you pre-condition the plastic with the
liquid monomer of the orthodontic resin.
|
After the
monomer has dried (a few seconds), reline the device with SNAP at it's
lingual
side (the amount shown might be a bit excessive if the model had not
been blocked on on the lingual) and seat in the mouth for 2 minutes.
