For those with migraines or headaches, a different option is custom made for the patient called an NTI. The NTI guard has FDA approval for the treatment of headaches and migraines. It is a small, removable, custom-fitted appliance positioned over your two front teeth to wear at night while you sleep. The NTI repositions your jaw in a relaxed position to prevent teeth grinding, helping eliminate tension headaches and migraines, and provide a restful night’s sleep
