INDICATIONS OF THE NTI-tss

The NTI-tss can be used

to create a DESOCCLUSION of the jaws,
e.g. in order to avoid tooth excessive tooth wear in the case of tooth "grinding"

to DECONTRACT the masticatory musculature,
by significantly reducing the patients' capacity to clench their teeth due to the NTI reflex

Hence the NTI-tss can be useful

for the SYMPTOMATIC treatment of para-functional hyperactivity of the masticatory musculature

in temporary use to DECONTRACT the masticatory musculature in order to prepare a bite registration in centric relation (e.g. in preparation for further treatment options.

in the prevention of the negative effects of "BRUXISM" (para-functional tooth grinding and clenching)
in the prevention of OCCUSAL TRAUMA, e.g. for the protection of implants and restorartions in bruxing patients.
for the prevention of the negative effects of parafunctional TOOTH CLENCHING , such as chrnoic tension type headaches and migraine pain
as well as in more general terms in the treatment of CRANIO-MANDIBULAR DISORDERS (CMD) caused by muscular para-function.

in the treatment purely intra-articular pathologies
in the presence of severe anterior paradontal desease , especially in the presence of mobility of anterior teeth
in the case of insufficient proprioception (nociception) of the anterior teeth (a condition for the propoer functioning of the NTI reflex)
in clinical situations where the correct insertion and sufficient retention of the NTI-tss cannot be guaranteed.
in cases where Patient consent cannot be obtained, e.g. due to the non-acceptance of the risk of a mandibular shift in case of an efficient treatment with the NTI-tss
