MORE ABOUT NTI APPLIANCE:

NTI-tss dental devise prevents migraine pain and is indicated for patients who grind or clinch their teeth. The NTI-tss device is a small, removable, prefabricated, clear resin matrix oral insert which a dentist fits to the patient's front teeth to be worn while sleeping. With the NTI-tss device in place, the intense activity of the temporal muscle is suppressed to less than 1/3 of maximum by preventing any intense occlusal contact. By reducing this neuromuscular activity, migraine headache pain and associated tension-type headaches is reduced or prevented. this same reduction in the contraction of the temporal muscle also benefits the patient who grinds or clinches their teeth, especially while sleeping. This reduction in grinding protects the teeth from wear. Mini implants are 1.8mm in size and are used to help stabilize a lower or upper denture. Four implants are required on the lower and a minimum of six on the upper. These are 1/3 the cost of regular implants. A free consult is available to see if enough bone is present in order to place the implants.

MINI DENTAL IMPLANTS:

Mini dental implants are ultra-small diameter (1.8 millimeter width), biocompatible titanium alloy implant screws, conceived and developed over 20 years ago. As a revolutionary departure from routine implant methods, mini implants are so narrow they are typically inserted directly through the overlying gum tissue and into the bone underneath. Consequently the need to surgically cut and "flap" open the gum tissue, routinely required for standard dental implant systems, is avoided in most MDI applications. As a result, post-insertion patient irritation and soreness is significantly reduced. Due to these facts, the implant can be loaded right away and the patient will leave with a tight fitting denture that will no longer slip and slide. Four to six mini-implants are used to stabilize a denture. Fractures are extremely rare, but as is the case with a person's normal teeth, can certainly occur. In those rare instances, a dentist can quickly remove the fractured implant and replace it. Cost is $500 each. More information can be obtained at www.imtec.com.
