NTI splint treatment of functional disorders:
According to subject literature, almost 60% of our society observe different symptoms of the temporo-mandibular joint disorders (in short: TMJ). Those symptoms can be both temporo-mandibular joint snapping and a slight headache in the morning, or functional pain which can induce serious defect of psychosocial character. Naturally, the NTI therapy can not solve all problems yet its efficiency is estimated at 82% in the scientific publications.
Muscular hyperactivity as the cause of the above said symptoms occurs at night in the deep sleep phase most often, and it is beyond our awareness or control. NTI splint reduces the muscular force element and results in:
- headache treatment
- migraineous headaches which result from tensions
- treatment of functional disorders of TMJs
- treatment of bruxism (teeth gnashing)
- reduction of overloads which can cause teeth breaking
- post-traumatic treatment, etc.
There is a broad scientific reference material on efficiency of NTI splints and their effects in TMJ therapy. So far, about 200 000 NTI splints have been made in Canada and the USA and about 5 000 in Scandinavia which lets us state that the NTI therapy meets both scientific and clinical practice requirements.
