Tourette Syndrome and its Treatment
Tourette Syndrome is a neuropsychiatric disorder that is characterised by multiple involuntary motoric movements and verbal reactions called tics. These tics are most commonly facial movements, coughing, grunting and shouting.
While Tourette's does not affect intelligence or life expectancy and people with TS lead productive lives, their need to control or supress the tics can be very exhausting.
The commonly known treatments today involve medication, surgery or therapy. Our approach is not mainstream, but extensive research has provided very promising results so far. The treatment we provide is non-invasive, fully reversible and has no side effects.
Our "dental splint" (that looks like a mouth guard) could make rapid improvements in reducing involuntary movements and internal tension. This splint is made from clear acrylic material and is barely visible. The treatment does not include drug therapy, and it is fully reversible at any time.
If you are interested in this treatment, find out more or contact us. Remember, it is very important to treat Tourette Syndrome early. TS symptoms often provoke ridicule and rejection by peers, neighbors, teachers and even casual observers, preventing the person with Tourette's from enjoying normal interpersonal relationships. To avoid psychological harm, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
Unfortunately this treatment is not yet supported by NHS, but we are working on making this promising new treatment well known and widely accepted. Learn more - read about The Tourettes Foundation.
