Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / May 2008Over the counter NTI device?
Does there exist any over counter NTI devices one could use safely until the money comes along to have a dentist make a custom one? Seems like I remember an anterior stop appliance that is a poor attempt at a knock-off NTI, but I don't even think it was OTC. Anything that has something for the posterior teeth to bite on blows the whole set-up.

If the rubber was stiffer. I've had patients refer to their NTI as their pacifier. It is 'pacifying' the nerves and muscles, so maybe it's a good description. :-) D >> An infant's pacifier ??

Fred Nococeptive Trigeminal Inhibition-Tension Supression System. nti-tss.com First device that I have found effective to control clenching and help relieve TMJ pain, lots of headaches, and protect the teeth.

Back in 95, I said that the farthest I went to treat 'TMJ' was to make a splint (the traditional 'horseshoe'). That meant that I wasn't adding to anyone's problems, but I wasn't doing a whole lot of good either. Now I can make people feel better and save them thousands of dollars as well as despair by chasing the 'TMJ holy grail'. While many in the dental profession have embraced the NTI, I thought by now it would be universal. Some are just so stubborn. I just want to shake some of the experts and ask them what the heck do they think they are doing?!?! Steve |
