The Need for TMJ Headache Treatment
How do you know if you could benefit from the TMJ headache treatment Rogers AR provides? Consider if you’re experiencing the following symptoms:
- Tender jaws
- Clicking sounds when you move your jaw
- Pain in the face
- Earaches
- Problems when biting or chewing
- Loss of range in jaw movement and the ability to open your mouth
- A “grating” feeling when you chew
However, it’s also important to determine if these symptoms stem from TMJ or a tension headache. If you have questions regarding your headaches, talk with your dentist about the possibility of needing TMJ headache treatment.
About the NTI
The NTI was recently approved by the FDA for tension migraine therapy. It works to stop the pain as well as protect your teeth from excessive wear. The NTI is a very small appliance that custom fit over your front two teeth. The device is typically worn at night while you are sleeping. The NTI prevents your back teeth from contacting and helps the bones and tissues in the TMJ to rest in the most stable position. For extreme cases, a modified device can be made for daytime wear.
