Suffering from headaches, migraines, painful problems with you jaw or tension in your face and head. Those are all signs that you may be grinding your teeth. Jaw clenching, formally known as bruxism, is the accidental action of grinding or clenching your teeth by use of your TMJ (temporomandibular joint). Fortunately, research has shown successful ways to prevent and treat problems are a result.
At Davinnci Dental in Clawson, MI, Dr. Vanco Serafimovski is certified to treat painful problems related to grinding your teeth with the NTI Suppression System. The system works by the placement of an NTI appliance that prevents contact between molars and canine teeth. The lack of that contact will leave your jaw unable to clench your TMJ and your TMJ will not become fatigued from doing so.
The NTI Suppression System works by the placement of a small acrylic appliance that’s customized to precisely fit your bite. It’s small size is about one third of a thumb nail, making its fit secure over your upper front teeth. The appliance is most effectively worn at night, or at times when you find yourself clenching or grinding your teeth the most.
To determine if the NTI jaw suppression appliance might be an option to help eliminate headaches and painful jaw joints, a simple test can do the trick. Place a pencil between your molars, bite down and touch the side of your face, just above your eyes. This spot is your TMJ, and tension from the bite should leave it fluttering. After you determine where the muscle is, move the pencil to between your front teeth and bite down. At this point you should notice the temporal muscle is contracting much less. Similarly but much less awkward, the clear NTI appliance is used to reduce the TMJ contractions, which ultimately causes painful migraines and tension headaches.
The NTI appliance is approved by the FDA and is proven to be twice as effective as preventative medicine and painkillers. Patients who come to Dr. Vanco Serafimovski have experienced more than 70 percent fewer migraines within the first eight weeks of using the NTI appliance.
If you’ve been experiencing unexplainable headaches, jaw tension or migraines, you may be suffering from grinding or clenching your teeth, which is very common in adults. Both Dr. Vanco Serafimovski and Dr. Bobby Grossi are highly experienced in diagnosis and can most likely determine if the NTI Suppression System is right solution for you after one consultation.
