Dental device
For more than 40 million Americans, constant, debilitating migraine is a pressing problem and one that isn’t easily solved. In fact, many of these patients find that even strong medication has little effect on their pain. In situations like this, it can feel hopeless to ever find the relief you’re looking for. But have you ever thought about asking a dentist for help? Dr. Arnold and his skilled associates in Valparaiso offer the NTI, a small oral appliance that can erase the pain and help you smile bigger and brighter than ever before!

Why Do I Suffer From Migraines?

While there are several causes for migraines, one of the most common and prominent ones is the clenching and grinding of one’s teeth. Excessive stress can often lead people to unconsciously develop this habit during sleep, resulting in serious pain the head, neck, and shoulders, not to mention teeth that are worn down or even broken over time. Even worse, they often have no idea it’s happening at all!

How Can the Nti Help Me?

The NTI is a small plastic device that will be custom made to fit over your two front teeth. All you have to do is wear it during sleep; its presence will reduce the intense muscle contractions of your jaw that are often the leading cause of migraines. There have been several studies that show wearing the NTI can reduce the intensity of clenching and grinding by as much as 66%, as well as a significant decrease in the amount and severity of headaches experienced.
