Inspired by an nociceptive trigeminal inhibition (NTI) design, GrindReliefN from Grind Guard Technologies is an evolved anti-bruxing device for professional use, according to the company. It does not require models, laboratory fees, or multiple appointments. Invented and patented by a dentist who also suffered from bruxism, the GrindReliefN features a central power bar to prevent bite-through and reduce muscle activity by 60% or more, Grind Guard Technologies said.
The power bar creates pressure on the upper and lower mid-line at the same time. The device doubles the beneficial mechanism of action of the NTI device, the company said. It can be fitted to upper or lower arches and refitted as needed. It also has a three-year wear guarantee and clearance from the Food and Drug Administration. The device can be billed like any other bruxing appliance or splint. GrindReliefN is offered to the profession at quantity discounts. Instructive videos are available on the company’s website, and a free sample is available by telephone.
