Treating Headaches With Night Guards
Headaches can significantly impact daily life, and for many individuals, they are linked to teeth clenching and grinding during sleep.
Research has shown that individuals who suffer from migraines and tension headaches often clench their teeth while sleeping, exacerbating symptoms upon waking. This teeth clenching can lead to various types of pain, including headaches, neck tension, and jaw discomfort.
The trigeminal nerve, a facial nerve responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing, can become overstimulated due to teeth clenching and grinding. This overstimulation contributes to the development of migraines and other chronic discomforts associated with headaches.
Fortunately, custom mouth guards can help alleviate these symptoms and provide much-needed pain relief. One such device, the NTI-tss, is a neuromuscular device custom-fitted to the front teeth and worn during sleep. It prevents teeth from coming together and jaw muscles from engaging during biting, allowing the stressed trigeminal nerve to rest and return to normal function.
At Future of Dentistry in Billerica, we understand the debilitating effects of migraines and tension headaches, which is why we offer effective treatment options to provide headache relief.
Clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of the NTI-tss device in reducing migraine headaches, with 82 percent of users experiencing relief. Recognized by the FDA for its ability to treat migraine pain, the NTI-tss mouth guard is available at Future of Dentistry in Billerica.
Take the first step towards a restful night’s sleep and headache-free mornings. If you or a loved one are experiencing headaches or migraines that may be linked to teeth clenching and grinding, don’t suffer in silence. Whether you are in Billerica, Tewksbury, Wilmington, or beyond, our team of experts are here to help. Call (978-663-4303) to contact our Billerica office and schedule your first custom Night Guard appointment today.
