NTI-tss Dental Device
TMD, Bruxism, chronic tension headaches, migraine,...
Did you ever wonder what these symptoms have in common which all make your life miserable ?
They all have their origin in chronic para-functional hyper-activity of the masticatory musculature. The NTI-tss reduces this hyper-activity by exploiting the nociceptive trigeminal inhibition (NTI) reflex.
What exactly is the NTI-reflex ?
The NTI-reflex takes effect, when the nociceptive sensors register excessive pressure on the lower incisors. They then trigger the inhibition of the elevating muscles.
The basic principle behind the NTI-tss
The NTI-system consists of a prefabricated acrylic matrix, which is customfit over the patients’ upper or lower front teeth (incisor's) using a thermoplastic material to obtain a "snap" fit.
It's most distinguishing characteristic is the "discluding element", which creates an exclusive contact between the incisors and thus efficiently triggers the NTI reflex.
