headaches
About a 1/3 of headaches are due to misalignment of the teeth. This can arise from tooth extraction, extensive restorative treatment, genetic mal-positioning of the teeth or jaw growth. These factors together with stress, lifestyle and genetic susceptibility can lead to grinding or clenching of teeth. This in turn leads to a build up of toxins, which then produces temporal muscle spasm and a headache response.
Custom-made dental appliances to alleviate these problems can be very beneficial. A thorough examination by your dentist will clarify whether you might benefit from one of these. Illustrated below is a Tanner appliance, which is comfortable and custom-made.
