N.T.I Splints
"Are headaches or migraines making your life miserable?"
It may come as a surprise that a dentist may be able to help with headaches or migraines.
That's because, in some cases, headaches and migraines are caused by tension from clenching
or grinding in your sleep. When this happens, wearing a device at night called an NTI
appliance takes the pressure off your jaw and eliminates or reduces the headaches or migraines.
If your doctor has thoroughly checked you out and been unable to fix the problem then let me make
you an NTI appliance. The all-up cost is around $550.00inc GST (Price subject to change without notice), which is a modest investment to be rid of chronic pain.
Frequently asked questions |
What's an NTI appliance?
It's a custom-made thing, about the size of the end of your thumb, that fits over your front teeth. |
|
Isn't this just a 'splint'?
Yes, but a new design that many people find easier to wear and more effective. |
When do I wear it?
Every night at first, but after that only when you feel you need it. |
|
How soon do I start to feel results?
Straight away, although the full effect can take several weeks. |
How long will the appliance last for?
Our NTI appliances come with a 2-year guarantee but may last much longer. |
|
What is the success rate?
A clinical trial in the USA found that 82% of people experienced an average of 77% fewer migraines within the first 8 weeks of use. |
