Migraine Therapy

“Dr. Payet, I truly can’t believe it!  I have only had 1 migraine in the last 2 weeks, and that was the one night that I for­got to wear my NTI!  I’ve NEVER gone through 2 weeks with only 1 headache.  Thank you!”

FDA-Approved, Non-Medication Treat­ment for Chronic Migraines and Ten­sion Headaches

  • Have you lived with some kind of fre­quent headache for much of your life?
  • Have you had every brain scan avail­able done, only to be told “There’s noth­ing wrong with you, we don’t know why you have these headaches, but here’s a pre­scrip­tion for the pain?”
  • Have had had allergy test­ing and every­thing was normal?
  • Do you have to visit the mas­sage ther­a­pist or chi­ro­prac­tor 1 or more times a week to at least get some relief?
  • Have you tried (almost) every med­ica­tion avail­able, with only lim­ited results?
  • Do you get sinus headaches, even when there’s no sinus drainage or other symp­toms of sinus congestion?
  • Are you always “car­ry­ing your stress” in your neck and shoul­ders, such that they feel like bands of steel?

The NTI is a FDA-approved, non-medication treatment for chronic tension and migraine headaches made by your dentist.If you answered yes to one or more of these ques­tions, then you are in good com­pany.  Did you know that about 23 mil­lion peo­ple, mostly women, suf­fer from Chronic Migraine Headaches every year; another 23 mil­lion peo­ple suf­fer with Chronic Ten­sion Headaches, which often spread to the neck and upper shoul­ders? Many have tried every kind of med­ica­tion and had ever test, finally resign­ing them­selves to liv­ing with the pain, believ­ing noth­ing can be done.

How­ever, here at Smiles by Payet Den­tistry, we may be able to lit­er­ally change your life with the use of an sim­ple but effec­tive device: the NTI-tss (Noci­cep­tive Trigem­i­nal Inhi­bi­tion — Ten­sion Sup­pres­sion Sys­tem).

The FDA has approved the NTI-tss  for treat­ment of both Chronic Migraine and Chronic Ten­sion Headaches, and in the FDA tri­als, 82% of patients reported a 77% decrease in symp­toms. That’s with NO medications!

The NTI works by a sim­ple but pow­er­ful mech­a­nism: it does not allow you to grind or clench your teeth at night. In many patients, it is this clench­ing and/or grind­ing that is a pri­mary cause of ten­sion headaches, migraines, and con­stant dis­com­fort. Now, I know you’re think­ing, “YEAH, RIGHT, Doc.  HA!”  But take a moment and just imag­ine if you worked out your arms for 4–5 hours ever day; how painful would they be? Now imag­ine you’re doing that uncon­sciously for 3–4 hours ever night, how painful do you think those mus­cles would be?  Seri­ously, just think about that for a moment.

Ask your­self this very sim­ple ques­tion: Out of 7 days per week, how many of those days do you wake up and feel FABULOUS? If the answer is rarely or never, ask Dr. Payet and his staff about how an NTI-tss could help you.  And just so you know.……I per­son­ally wear one, too!  Let me briefly tell you my story:

“While I don’t get them fre­quently, I have suf­fered from migraines since my late 20’s; I began learn­ing about the NTI around 2002 and began mak­ing them for patients shortly there­after, and at one of the more advanced sem­i­nars I attended, we (the den­tists) made NTI’s for each other.  OH.….MY.…..WORD!  What an incred­i­ble dif­fer­ence!  Lit­er­ally, within just a cou­ple nights I could feel a dra­matic decrease in the ten­sion in my neck and shoul­ders, and as long as I have and wear my NTI, I NEVER get a migraine.  NEVER.  There’s one lit­tle problem.….I have a lov­able dog named Star­bucks, who unfor­tu­nately has a knack of get­ting into things she shouldn’, and over the last 5 years, she has eaten 3 NTI’s.  Dur­ing those times I don’t have one (’cause I get too busy), I do get migraines.”

Dr. Charles Payet


Another Patient Tes­tiomo­nial for the NTI

Or lis­ten to Kat’s story (see her smile makeover with den­tal implants, 6-month braces, and a bridge):

When Kat S. first came to see me, it wasn’t even because of her headaches, it was because a bridge that replaced some miss­ing front teeth was break­ing.  Turns out, one of the front teeth roots had bro­ken below the gum­line, so we had to go a slightly dif­fer­ent route, but dur­ing one of her appoint­ments, we got to talk­ing about headaches, and she men­tioned that she’d suf­fered from almost daily migraines since her mid-teens, which meant more than 30 years of headaches.  She’d been to every doc­tor, had every scan and test avail­able, but ulti­mately just learned to “live” with the pain.  We went through our diag­nos­tic his­tory, and we deter­mined that Kat was an incred­i­ble bruxer, mean­ing she ground her teeth really badly, so we made an NTI.  The quote at the top of the page is what she said at her 2-week follow-up appoint­ment.  And to this day, as long as Kat wears her NTI, she still does not get migraines.

This video will intro­duce you to Dr. Jim Boyd, who devel­oped and con­tin­ues to refine the NTI-tss, and who lec­tures around the world on the proper fab­ri­ca­tion and use of the NTI. I am truly for­tu­nate to count Dr. Boyd as not just a col­league, but a friend and men­tor. He now works part time in the Headache Cen­ter of South­ern Cal­i­for­nia, where the NTI-tss has become one of the most fre­quently used and most suc­cess­ful treat­ments, even in a prac­tice of neurologists.

“Dr. Payet is an amaz­ingly gifted den­tist. I liked my smile before but was amazed at the dif­fer­ence the veneers made. His atten­tion to detail and “chair side man­ner” made me com­fort­able dur­ing the entire process.  He gen­uinely cares and goes to great lengths to ensure you are happy and 100% sat­is­fied. I highly rec­om­mend Dr. Payet to any­one look­ing for a great Char­lotte den­tist!”
