NTI
Tension Suppression System
The most effective FDA-approved method of
migraine prevention
|
|
|
By preventing the nocturnal parafunctional occluding of the canine and
molar teeth (which is required to generate significant muscle
contraction intensity and jaw joint
strain), the NTI-tss device prevents and reduces the muscular
triggering component of migraine,
chronic headache and jaw disorders. Worn primarily only during
sleep, the daytime masticatory stimulation of the dentition prevents
any adverse tooth movement supraeruption.
While the Standard NTI-tss device can be worn indefinitely (while
sleeping), the NTI-tss Daytime Device is recommended for the migraine
sufferer (in addition to the use of the Standard Device) for 4 to 8
weeks during waking hours (but still impossible to use while eating,
thereby preventing supraeruption). The Daytime Device takes
advantage of the naturally protective nociceptive trigeminal
inhibition reflex which suppress the powerful temporalis
muscles. It is the protective reflex experienced when biting down,
expecting something soft, but encountering something hard.

grinding
-- 23 million Americans suffer from migraine pain |
G.
Christensen, DDS, PhD: (on the NTIs’ effect on TMD)
“In
1 to 4 days it reduced or eliminated symptoms in most of the patients
we treated in the CRA
study…I hope you'll look this over carefully. The concept does
work. Find a place in your practice, particularly staff oriented
where it can be used with effectiveness. It is simple, fast, effective
and inexpensive. What more do you want?" (From “Occlusal Disease
Simplified: The NTI Tension Suppression System”, a Practical Clinical
Course video) |

Q. Isn't this just an Anterior Deprogrammer?
A. No. Here's why
Q. What about the
occlusion?
A.
Once the intensity of the nocturnal
parafunction has been reduced, symptoms are reduced or prevented,
and condyles can seat easily, thereby allowing for definitive occlusal
therapy. |
Q. Won't teeth supraerupt? A.
No. The NTI device is worn primarily while sleeping; daily
chewing stimulation maintains the teeth 's positions.
