Headache and Jaw Pain Relief

At Smiles For Life, we strive to contribute to your overall wellness in any way we can. One way that we can do this is by relieving many types of headache, neck soreness and jaw pain using the Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Tension Suppression System®!

The Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Tension Suppression System, also known as NTI for short, is a mouthpiece that prevents those suffering from headaches, sore teeth, neck aches, and aching jaws from clenching their teeth while sleeping. This simple device fits over the front two teeth and keeps the mouth open at an angle that prevents migraines and other forms of discomfort associated with a clenching jaw!

The concept of the NTI device is ingenious in its simplicity! Because of the structure of the muscles in the face and their corresponding nerves, it's not uncommon to have a headache as a result of clenching one's teeth. It's also common to clench one's teeth as a result of a headache. Simply put, there is a self-reinforcing relationship between jaw clenching and various kinds of pain in the head, neck and jaw. Fortunately, this cycle of pain and muscle contractions can be disrupted by the Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Tension Suppression System. The NTI mouthpiece simply fits over the front teeth to prevent the top and bottom molars from coming in contact with each other. This lack of contact prevents the clenching of the jaw; virtually eliminating a variety of types of pain in your teeth, neck, jaw, and head!

At Smiles For Life, our doctors can make sure that you have an NTI device fitted specifically for you! Because everyone's anatomy is different, we'll need to take precise measurements of your jaw and teeth. Once that has been accomplished our doctors will produce an NTI mouthpiece that's customized for your exact needs so you can enjoy relief from your head, neck, jaw, and tooth pain!
