Paul: It's certainly 1000 times more comfortable than my full
mouth-guard, which was too tight.

Whether or not it stops my gum... |

me@privacy.net: I'm thinking on getting an NT device to keep from
clenching my teeth while sleeping

Bill: Jim Du Molin ran a survey of his online dentist readers regarding the
use of the NTI.
I was surprised by the results. Apparently a large number of dentists

oralhealth@comcast.net: Less us not forget that any of these things can act as orthopedic
