The NTI device is supposed to be good for headaches but I just got mine so I'm still waiting for it to take effect.
I went to a so called specialist 3 months ago who fitted me with a bottom plate and it only took away 50% of my pain.
I have since found a Neuromuscular Dentist who has been wonderful and spent hours and hours with me explaining my whole TMJ situation. Everyone is different with it and my bite and jaw was out so now I have another plate made specially for me and it is taking away all the pain.
It costs alot but its money well worth spending and you can't put a price on your health. They will assess your jaw/bite etc and make you a proper one. Sometimes the other the counter ones can make matters worse too.
