Over 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?

Re: Over the counter NTI device?



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.

Sorry,

An infant's pacifier ?? 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.

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.

And being here has led me (eventually) to the NTI.

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?!?!
