Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / March 2008NTI-TSS keeps cracking
My dentist recommended that I wear an NTI-TSS on my lower teeth at night because I have evidence of grinding my teeth at night. My wife has told me that she can hear me "chomp" once in a while so I believe the dentist is right. However, I have had more than one fail due to cracking in a short period of time. How easy should it be to crack one of these things? What could be causing this? Is there anything else that I can wear since this can't seem to hold up to my jaws? Thanks. >My dentist recommended that I wear an NTI-TSS on my lower teeth at >night because I have evidence of grinding my teeth at night.

Better you break the NTI than your teeth, less expensive too ! On another note, if the NTI is fabricated with 'Snap', it must be mixed separately and *then* placed into the matrix. Then placed onto the teeth in a doughy stage. If your dentist read the instructions then s/he would already know this. Check: http://www.nti-tss.com/Fab-and-Del.html It's probably more than you want to know.

You must be clenching quite a bit if it cracks. An average dental office should get 1-2 people a yar who can break their NTI in half. re-Make's for these are free in my office. Second one usually lasts 2-3 times longer before breaking. third one lasts 4-5 times longer and the next one never breaks. It takes a long time to de-program some people. > On Mar 16, 6:27 pm, New...@bix.nex wrote: >> On Sun, 16 Mar 2008 17:35:31 -0700 (PDT), junkmail7...@yahoo.com [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > prefab made chairside in the office.

That way you are hitting plastic against plastic rather than teeth against plastic.
