Headache Reduction
Do you have headaches? Do they affect your energy and daily life? Did you know that 80-85% of headaches are related to clenching and/or grinding of the teeth. This is even true for those that have been diagnosed with migraine, cluster or stress-related headaches.When a person clenches or grinds their teeth, they may load 20-30 times the stress on the bite system than is normal. Muscles get sore and tired and build up lactic acid which cause the muscles to hurt and spasm.
For people that suffer from headaches, a thorough evaluation may very well lead to a diagnosis of Bruxism (the habit of clenching and grinding of the teeth).
A properly fitted and adjusted bite splint may be the answer for those who suffer from chronic headaches.
