Recent onset of acute headaches should be thoroughly checked by a Medical Doctor. However, if you have been medically assessed and you control headaches regularly with medication, the FDA recommends that you be prescribed an NTI anti-clenching oral appliance as the first instance of treatment. Wearing a simple oral device called an NTI reduces muscle tension in the jaws, temples, neck and back of head.
82% of medically diagnosed migraine sufferers had a 77% reduction in migraine episodes within the first 8 weeks of use of an NTI, and needed to take less than half their normal medication.
What is an NTI?
An NTI is a custom-made oral device that fits over your front teeth.
When do I wear it ?
The NTI is worn at night to prevent teeth clenching when asleep.
How do I get one ?
The NTI can only be made and fitted by a Dentist.

No – you can clench on a dental splint or night guard and still have headaches. This is different.
