NTI Night Guard
What Is An NTI Night Guard?
Do you wake up with headaches, jaw pain, or signs of teeth grinding? You may be dealing with bruxism, a condition where individuals unconsciously clench or grind their teeth, often during sleep. Bruxism not only affects oral health but can also lead to discomfort and stress in daily life.
A promising solution to address this condition is the NTI Night Guard (short for Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Tension Suppression System). This FDA-approved device is designed to alleviate bruxism, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, and even medically diagnosed migraines. Unlike traditional night guards, the NTI Night Guard covers only the central incisors rather than the entire dental arch, providing targeted treatment with comfort.
