Migraine, chronic headaches, aching and tender muscles, sore jaw joints, regular morning headaches, teeth grinding ..... .

All these symptoms can have one common source: a hyper-activity of the jaw muscles. External signs are teeth grinding or clenching, which generally occur during sleep, when they are not consciously controllable. Some patients may also grind or clench their teeth during the day, e.g. in periods of increased stress or concentration.

Yes! Grinding and clenching of your teeth involves some of the most powerful muscles in the human body. While almost everybody grinds and or clenches their teeth every now and then, studies show that patients who do so chronically exert between 6 and 20 times more pressure due to their well trained musculature. With repeated intense contraction, these powerful muscles become painful, and the forces generated cause pain to the surrounding tissues, joints, and other muscles.

By reducing or eliminating the intensity of the clenching, you are effectively minimizing the source of the pain, and in many cases this will happen in just a few days.

Traditional treatment methods are often at times insufficient and will only manage the symptoms, such as protect your teeth from abrasion.

There are a range of 'Mini Splints' that go far beyond this and directly prevent the source of the problem : the hyper-activity of the jaw muscles. The SCi splints are available from your dentist! Significant improvements sometimes take as little as a few days.

The 5Ci and 5Ci+ are small splints that just fit over your front teeth. Both work in very similar ways to prevent tooth grinding and clenching. In preventing this unwanted muscle clenching we eliminate the tension that causes headaches, neck pain and migraines.

A. 5Ci can be fitted by your dentist in one visit, giving immediate relief for acute pain. 5Ci+ splints require 2 visits. You have records taken of your teeth and sent to the 545 laboratory to tailor make a splint that you have fitted on your second visit.

Traditional nightguard devices and flat-plane splints provide a surface for you to 'bite down on'. New studies show, however, that these devices can actually increase the intensity of your clenching reflex over the maximum force you can exert without the device. As a result your symptoms can even get worse!

With the advent of the revolutionary SCi style device we can begin to solve the real problem: actually preventing your back teeth from clenching intensely and thus eliminate the source of your pain.

Yes. By reducing the intensity of involuntary clenching while you are asleep (and sometimes even during the day, when stress or high concentration triggers unconscious involuntary clenching), the SCi device minimizes clenching intensity and in time, reduces the primary source of your pain.

Now imagine the changes in your life and the activities you will be able to enjoy after successful reduction or even elimination of your pain.

What the Dentists say .... Dr Oulton - Haslemere Dental Care 5Ci has stopped the daily debilitating headaches for one 17 year old student patient, and enabled a near suicidal patient to cease her dependency on antidepressants, painkillers, beta-blockers to reduce her continual jaw pain.

Dr Khaira - Migraine Care Institute I am treating so many patients in my practice that suffer with TMD symptoms, headaches and migraines. Most patients get relief virtually overnight from debilitating symptoms that have been crippling them for years. 5Ci is a corner stone in my practice.

What the Patients say ....

Mrs Fitzpatrick - Surrey My dentist fitted me with an SCi two weeks ago, its amazing! I don't wake with any pain or tenderness in my head or neck and I'm sleeping much better. I wish I had know about this treatment 10 years ago!

Elizabeth - Accrington For years I woke with pain in my jaw and a dull headache which gradually faded as the day went on. I was unaware that my symptoms were caused by the pressure I was exerting in my jaw as I ground my teeth during the night. My Dentist made me a device, I cannot adequately describe in words the difference that this little device has made to me.
