Help for Jaw & Bite Problems
For many people the way their teeth fit together causes stress on the jaw muscles and joints. Many 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 controlling 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 than 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.
