Clenching Suppression System
Clenching teeth is caused by involuntary contractions of the jaw muscle, which can make the muscles and jaw joint very painful. By reducing the intensity of the clenching with a NTI-tss device (Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition - Tension Suppression System), we can effectively minimize the pain at its source. In most cases, you’ll experience significant relief in just a few days.
In one office visit, we’ll create your customized NTI-tss device, a small, clear plastic cover that fits over your top two or bottom two front teeth. You’ll wear the NTI-tss device only when you sleep at night, and it will suppress the clenching reflex by preventing your back teeth from contacting each other. Morning headache pain, neck pain, sore jaw, migraine and other related pains will begin to resolve and disappear, and you can start enjoying your night’s sleep and the day that follows.
