Contact UsWhat Are NTI Dental Appliances?
Clenching your teeth while you sleep, is an everyday problem that affects many individuals. While the most visible sign of damage is the deterioration of the surface of the teeth, clenching may also cause headaches, tooth pain, inflammation, as well as discomfort in your neck and jaw. To guard your mouth against these effects of clenching, we can provide a custom nociceptive trigeminal inhibition (NTI) dental appliance that defends your mouth while you rest. Much like custom night guards, an NTI is made with top-quality materials that fit comfortably and improve the quality of your sleep by eliminating jaw clenching. For more information about NTI dental appliances at Elegant Smiles, set up a consultation at our Las Vegas, NV facility.
How Does the NTI Work?
Jaw clenching at night is typically caused by stress but could also be brought on by misaligned teeth, allergies, a sleep disorder, or temporomandibular joint disorder (called TMD). When our team makes your clenching diagnosis, they also will also try to find out the cause so that your NTI dental appliance can be coupled with another treatment for more effective results. After our team makes your diagnosis, we will scan for impressions to help create your custom NTI dental appliance. Next, we will send your specifications to the dental laboratory where your appliance will be created from the best materials. After it is finished and sent back to our office, you will come in to have it fitted. We may make minor adjustments so your dental appliance correctly. You also will be given specific instructions on how to properly care for your NTI dental appliance so it lasts a long time. The custom appliance should relieve or eliminate the discomfort and dental complications caused by clenching, but if it does not, please contact our office so we can address additional issues or try other options.
Elegant Smiles Reviews
After searching Facebook groups I’m in for dentist recommendations, I decided to send my husband here after he cracked a tooth and was in the worst pain of his life.I searched “dentist” in the group, read through a ton of recommendations, and chose Elegant Smiles because the dentist’s wife had commented on several posts offering to help. I messaged her directly, and she got my husband in to see her husband that same day!My husband was in so much pain that they had to numb him multiple times before they could extract the tooth. He came home swollen all the way up to his eye because the infection had spread down to the roots. My husband absolutely HATES going to the dentist, but he didn’t have a single negative thing to say about his experience.The front office staff was also incredible. Since we don’t have physical insurance cards, they had to call and get all of our information, and they handled everything without giving us any hassle.I will admit, when you look at their website it can seem a little intimidating and very high-end. Their office is beautiful, and they absolutely offer high-end cosmetic services. But don’t let that scare you away if you’re simply looking for an emergency tooth extraction or general dental care. They offer a wide variety of services for all kinds of dental needs.Dr. Phan was absolutely amazing, and we’re so thankful we found this office. If you’re looking for a dentist, I highly recommend checking out Elegant Smiles!

NTI Dental Appliances FAQs
How should I care for and clean my NTI appliance?
Clean your NTI appliance daily with soap and water. Avoid soaking it in mouthwash or other chemicals, and do not expose it to direct sunlight. Always store it dry and out of reach of pets and children.
How does an NTI appliance differ from a traditional night guard?
Unlike traditional night guards covering all teeth, an NTI appliance is smaller and only fits over the front teeth. This design aims to prevent contact between the upper and lower back teeth, reducing clenching intensity.
Are there any side effects associated with using an NTI appliance?
While many patients experience relief, some may encounter side effects such as tooth movement, changes in bite, or discomfort. It's essential to have regular dental check-ups to monitor and adjust the appliance as needed.
