Santa Barbara TMJ Dentist Offers Relief
Sometimes chronic stress or high-pressure situations can cause people to develop damaging habits known as bruxism. Bruxism is unconsciously biting down with too much force at abnormal times such as sleep or non-meal times. It can happen night or day and is quite common in up to one third of the population, and is more frequent among women.
Dr. Weiser routinely helps patients with TMJ and TMJ-related migraine-related pain. In this treatment, Dr. Weiser utilizes a small acrylic device the revolutionary NTI-tss device. For more information, visit NTI-tss.
Recognizing that jaw pain sometimes starts with muscle malfunction and not a bite problem, this device interrupts the involuntary tug-of-war between the jaw’s side and temporal muscles, reducing the clenching intensity by one third! This device also causes the muscles to relax in a stable position, so that you and those hyperactive malfunctioning muscles can rest. Often this eliminates bruxism related headaches and/or various kinds of TMJ pain within just a few days after fitting of the device.
