I just got my NTI-Tss yesterday and it is weird to wear at night. $700!!! For those of you who have worn it, have any of you had success stories on it.

woooo.. i think that you got ripped off! mine was only $100 CDN including the doctor's visit. it did not help me; instead, it gave me an open bite, which has not gone away after 6 years. it has caused furuther problems for me concerning other treatments i've tried. plus, i look really ugly now due to the structural/muscular changes it caused. :|

Thanks for your post Sarah. Looks like from the posts that people who've worn it have gotten open bites. I told my specialist that I was afraid of getting an open bite and he said it'd go away during the day. I may just go to another guy if this doesn't work but apparently he's experienced in working with TMJ specialists. Also, what's CDN?

My tmj specialist charged $450. I was told only to wear it the night before I go in for an occlusial adjustment. He said not to wear it all the time because it causes an open bite.

Thanks Suz,

Man! I did get really ripped off and my doc said that the NTI won't cause an open bite so I can wear it every night and now you're saying that your doc said not to wear it every day b/c it can cause an open bite. I"m so confused!!!!
