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.

Dr. Phan is a good dentist, made my tooth filling procedure an easy process. Felt comfortable throughout the entire thing :)
i got a filling from ricky and dr phan and they were both very nice and gentle! I recommend going here because everyone here is very friendly and i was just comfortable the entire time
This is the best dentist money can buy hands down. I can tell you the team work is dynamic and the energy is so dope. I can also say this is a very honest dentist. Before I was introduced to this office I had a cavity and a few different dentist searching for the right one, most said I needed a root canal, and I found Elegant smiles, the Doc said you don't need a root canal this tooth can be fixed simple I got you. I was shocked, and sold on the honesty. My tooth is still in great condition thanks to Doc. They're perfectionist taking quality time for each patient. There is no wait time, your seen immediately upon arrival. I been sold for 3 years now and I have not looked back. I recommend 100%
Finding Elegant Smile has been such a gift as I have always feared dental offices… The beautiful, clean atmosphere , bright and pleasant… To the sweet staff, every single one of them… Shantae at the front desk going above and beyond to assist me with insurance issues to Dr. Huynh who is such a sweet , patient artist at what she does… ! Determined to perfect to your satisfaction ! then onto Dr. Finn, who was so gentle with a dreaded procedure that turned out to be Pain-free and not scary as he explained everything along the way, and it truly took the fear out of the process, I am so grateful to have found Elegant Smile and must say it's my first experience not dreading an upcoming dental appointment👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I had the privilege of visiting Elegant Smiles yesterday as a first time patient and I could not have been more impressed! The welcoming, clean atmosphere and the friendly front desk staff gave me a sense of confidence as soon as I walked in the door. Elegant Smiles was a professional and pleasant environment, and the dental staff gave my teeth an amazing clean! I’m glad to now call this place home!

About UsNTI 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.
