NTI-tss Plus

The NTI-tss Plus protects teeth, muscles and joints by suppressing parafunctional muscle contraction by almost 70%. Originally developed to prevent migraine pain, the NTI-tss Plus is proven to be a superior alternative to full coverage bite guards.

The NTI-tss Plus also gives dentists a way to simply and effectively treat patients suffering from tension and migraine headaches by reducing the intensity of jaw clenching while the patient sleeps.

FDA Approved
The NTI-tss protocol is approved for the Prevention of Medically Diagnosed Migraine Pain and Jaw Disorders through the reduction of trigeminally innervated muscular activity.

More Effective
Full-coverage bite guards increase clenching activity for some patients by providing an ideal clenching surface for canines and molars. The NTI-tss Plus discludes all posteriors and reduces clenching intensity by nearly 70%.

More comfortable, better compliance
The NTI-tss Plus is smaller, less bulky and won't trigger a gag reflex. Because it is more comfortable, patients actually wear it.

Less chairtime, easier to seat
Because the NTI-tss Plus covers only the front teeth it's easier to seat, saving you valuable chair time.

Durable, precise fit
NTI-tss Plus is made from thermoplastic material. A high heat, high pressure injection process guarantees a perfect fit with proven durability. The material provides a perfect fit with no shrinkage and won't absorb stains or odors.

Upper or Lower NTI-tss Plus
Although some doctors still prefer the maxillary NTI-tss Plus, more experienced users continue to find additional indications for a lower appliance. Factors that influence arch choice may include clinical crown length and tooth contour (retention), tooth rotations and malposition, uneven incisal edges, and narrow arch width. Your technical adviser can make recommendations after models are mounted and analyzed in the laboratory.

Recommended insurance code
All plans are different so coverage varies. In general the same insurance codes for splints, TMJ appliances, and habit appliances all apply to the NTI-tss Plus.
