hey Ive not had much results with anything
except what ive already told you about. It
may very well work for you. not sure about
wether or not it would keep your jaw from
dislocating again or not. the only way to
tell is for you to try it.

NTIs are mostly designed for people who
clench their teeth and get headaches. I
did get one a few years ago but really
didn't notice any difference. I also felt
unfortable with it in because my jaw did
not feel stable; kindof like a rocker
feeling. My dentist even made a new one
for me that was bigger to try and stop
that instability feeling, but it didn't
work. I went back to a full bite splint
but one that was much less bulkier than
all previous ones and set on my bottom
teeth instead of my overbite top teeth. I
love this one and it did make a HUGE
difference.
God bless...

Hey there! Just wanted to give my opinion
of the NTI. I have TMJ and am miserable a
lot of the time. When I first got my NTI
from the dentist I didn't use it because
it is so big and uncomfortable. Now I use
it every night. It doesn't solve the
problem of TMJ, but the longer I leave it
in at night, the better I feel in the
morning. By the end of the day, I hurt
really bad, but it does help a little. I'm
not sure if it would help your friend,
though. The problem with TMJ is everyone
reacts differently to treatments. Good
luck!

The device did nothing but the case
glows in the dark which is pretty cool.
