You will find that regular daily activities such as working, performing single tasks, or simply caring for your family to be nearly impossible because of the nausea, light sensitivity, and throbbing pain that accompany migraines.

These medications leave most people feeling hopeless, because they never treat the real cause, only the symptoms.

We have an effective treatment in our office that does not require the use of any drugs. It is a tiny oral appliance which can deliver big results, and it is called an NTI TSS plus.

Clenching of the jaws and grinding of the teeth are common traits for people that suffer form migraines.  Typically, they are not even aware of doing it, because they are asleep when it occurs.

What Are Then Effects For You?

• A cranial nerve, called the trigeminal nerve is aggravated by the clenching and grinding of the teeth, and it affects four areas in the head…the lower and upper jaws, the forehead, and the eyes.
• The cause of chronic discomforts and migraines is the stress the nerve experiences due to it’s over stimulation.
