Migraine Relief Using NTI TSS PLUS™

If you suffer from chronic migraines or tension headaches, you know how debilitating they can be. What you might not know is that your dentist might be able to help. At Michael J. Scoles, DMD in Renton, WA, we offer the NTI TSS PLUS™ device—an FDA-approved solution that can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine and tension headaches.

What Is the NTI TSS PLUS™?

The NTI TSS PLUS™ (Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Tension Suppression System) is a small, custom-fitted device that you wear over your front teeth while you sleep. It works by preventing your back teeth from coming together, which reduces the intensity of nighttime clenching and grinding—a major trigger for tension headaches and migraines.

How Does It Work?

Many tension headaches and migraines are caused or worsened by excessive muscle tension in the jaw and temples. When you clench or grind your teeth (often unconsciously during sleep), these muscles work overtime, leading to pain that can radiate throughout your head and neck.

The NTI TSS PLUS™ device works by:

  • Preventing your back teeth from touching, which dramatically reduces clenching force
  • Relaxing the temporalis muscles (the large muscles on the sides of your head)
  • Reducing muscle tension that triggers headaches
  • Protecting your teeth from the damaging effects of grinding

Who Can Benefit?

The NTI TSS PLUS™ may be right for you if you experience:

  • Frequent tension headaches or migraines
  • Morning headaches
  • Jaw pain or TMJ discomfort
  • Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
  • Neck and shoulder tension
  • Headaches that don't respond well to medication

What to Expect

Getting your NTI TSS PLUS™ device is simple:

  1. Consultation – Dr. Michael Scoles or Dr. Kimberly Reyes will evaluate your symptoms and determine if the NTI TSS PLUS™ is appropriate for you
  2. Custom fitting – We'll take impressions of your teeth to create a device that fits you perfectly
  3. Delivery and adjustment – When your device is ready, we'll make sure it fits comfortably and show you how to use and care for it
  4. Follow-up – We'll monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments

Many patients notice a reduction in headache frequency and intensity within the first few weeks of use.

A Drug-Free Solution

One of the biggest advantages of the NTI TSS PLUS™ is that it's a non-pharmaceutical approach to headache relief. While medications can be effective, they often come with side effects and don't address the underlying cause of tension headaches. The NTI TSS PLUS™ tackles the problem at its source—excessive muscle tension from clenching and grinding.
