Treating Headaches

Headaches Caused By Your Bite

If you suffer from persistent headaches, that don’t go away with medication, you may have a more significant problem. A possible diagnosis to unabated headaches and facial tension can be TMJ Disorder (temporomandibular joint disorder).

TMJ Disorder and Headaches

TMJ Disorder can be the primary cause of a wide range of issues including neck pain, jaw clicking and popping and sleep apnoea. When your bite is misaligned, it places stress on the muscles of your jaw, and essentially causes a knock-on effect, as different parts of the body compensate for the problem. Once a bite is corrected, the knock-on effects are lessened and symptoms begin to disappear.

Diagnosis of TMJ Disorder

The field of dentistry covering TMJ Disorder is known as Neuromuscular Dentistry. Neuromuscular dentistry is a breakthrough in scientific treatment, which can correct ongoing issues including headaches. When conducting your consultation at DesignDentistry, we will carry out a simple, non-invasive, test to your bite, to establish whether it is an issue. From there we can then provide a course of action to resolve your headache experiences for good.
