My biggest (and probably only) beef with NTI marketing is
that they place so much emphasis on headaches.

Yes, it is a marvelous device to give many people almost
a new lease on life.

BUT, I make most of them for other reasons than headaches.

I've been waiting for you to post that very thing, D! Thanks.

Same here, wish they would at least note the advantages
of preventing abfractions, cusp fractures, and incisal edge wear.

Maybe you should drop a note into the "suggestion box". The FDA's
approval of the device for medically diagnosed migraine may have
something to do with this; but, I don't know that to be the case. It
can't hurt to ask if they would address dental benefits of using the
device. ???

The simple answer is the NTI is an approved medical device by FDA and
therefore the manufacturer (NTI-TSS Inc.) is only allowed to label the
device according to what FDA permits in the indications listed below.

FDA 510(k) Premarket Notification #K010876 (FDA's Summary)
of the NTI Tension Suppression System

Indications for Use approved for marketing, June 21, 2001

Approved Indications for Use for the NTI Tension Suppression System
(NTI-tss):

1. A device to be used in the prophylactic treatment of medically diagnosed
migraine pain
as well as migraine associated tension-type headaches, by reducing their
signs and symptoms through
reduction of trigeminally innervated muscular activity, and;
2. For the prevention of bruxism and TMJ syndrome through reduction of
trigeminally innervated muscular
activity

There ya go.

Lots more of these cases in the everyday dental practice. Multiple
patients *every single day*! (lots of them might also have a few
headaches, but that's not why they came to the dentist)

I've been lurking a bit and just thought I'd chime in on this post. I
know how great NTI's are for TMJ etc. I've not had one (my sis thinks I
should get one, but the only time I had severe night clenching (and all
day too) was when I was anxious about the dentist, yah a bit of phobic
here. I did get TMJ for a bit, but it resolved after I stopped seeing
the dentist and wasn't so anxious about it. Plus, that dentist was not
the right one for me--didn't care about the TMJ (not sure he believes in
it), and didn't really want to treat me cause I was a phobic. I only saw
him twice, once for a cleaning (hygienist did that) and check-up, and
then for a couple small fillings. (on a side note, I have since just
found a wonderful oral sedation dentist who specializes in phobics, and
despite not having gone for five years, I have no cavities, and can get
by with just some valium for anxiety for some teeth cleanings. I know I
will feel comfortable getting regular six month check ups with her, and
teeth cleanings with her hygienists, and my insurance covers it all. How
great is that? I know I am a challenging dental patient, and it is
great to find an awesome dentist who understands my needs. I think many
of the dentists who take their time to post here are in that crew as
well). Well, my sister had horrid TMJ (much better now with her NTI)
and had obvious signs of severe teeth grinding at night (I can totally
hear her still grind with her NTI, but it offers great protection).
(she's not even 30 yet BTW). Her first NTI was a standard one (molded to
fit and such of course, not some OTC horseshoe or hockey mouth guard),
and she BIT RIGHT THROUGH IT one night. She now has an extra heavy duty
metallic reinforced (in spots) one, that she guards VERY carefully (it's
not cheap), and her jaw and teeth are much better off for it. If my
anxiety gets any worse (I do have other anxiety disorders) and I find
that I am clenching more often at night, and the jaw starts hurting, I
DEFINITELY plan to ask my great dentist about an NTI.

Okay I went to the doctor yesterday and was told that my jaw is out of line.
I can move my lower jaw to the right but not to the left and this seems to
be what is causing my ear problems and making the right side of my face
numb. They put me on 800 mg three times a day as well as a muscle relaxant
at night and moist heat on the right side of my jaw. I was wondering if any
body might have some suggestions to accelerate the healing.

Thanks,

Phil
