Q. What is TMJ

A. It stands for Temporomandibular Joint or jaw. However, when people say they have TMJ they generally mean they have a great deal of pain in the jaw joint.

Q.  Why do I have pain?

A.  When in balance, the jaw joint allows us to speak, eat, love and enjoy life.  Under great stress it breaks down and leads to irreversible damage and pain.

Q. What does stress do?

A. Our frequently stressful lifestyle often leads to clenching our teeth (bruxism) or grinding them back and forth repeatedly over the course of the day. This repeated behavior causes a breakdown in coordination, which can lead to irreversible damage and pain.   

Q. Is there help?

A. Certainly. The NTI, an approved dental device, can help reduce the damage to your TMJ joint.

Q. How does it work?

A. It reduces the amount and degree of clenching or grinding, reducing the damage to your joint and helping restore balance.

Q. When do I wear it?

A. The NTI is worn primarily during sleep.

Q. How can I eat with this device?

A. Don’t worry. You don’t wear it during the day.

Q. Am I the only one with this problem?

A. Forty-four million people in the U.S. suffer from jaw joint pain caused by chronic clenching and grinding. But we can help solve your  problem and bring back that balance.
