Morning headache from the teeth
Morning headache can be the first symptom of increased spastic activity of masticatory muscles and bruxism. It can be corrected with nightguard. The disocclusion of the teeth prevent spasmatic activity of the muscles and protect enamel from the wear. If the symptoms will still exist you will benefit from consult with TMJ specialist.

Nightguards can help with morning headaches
The common experience of morning headaches is usually due to an improper bite. The first approach is to make something (anything) to fit between the teeth, worn at night. 10% of the population can be helped with anything, so if you are one of them, then you are done. If not, then a more precise device should be created and an increased cost.

A nightgaurd can help with headaches
When I have patients that suffer from headaches I start by making them a nightgaurd. This is piece of hard plastic that fits on their upper teeth. There are two kinds to consider.

We use the plastic to create a level bite, which can help your biting muscles relax.
The second kind only covers the front upper teeth with plastic. When you bite down...

The headache problem is due to your bite, not your teeth
When you wake up in the morning with headaches that seem to ease up over the course of the day, it could very well be from your teeth. Actually, it is not from a problem with a tooth or your teeth, but your bite, or as we dentists say, your occlusion.
Everyone tries to have as many teeth touch one another when we close our mouths. In order to do this, we will thrust our jaw in whatever direction necessary to have as many teeth as possible meet. However, in doing this we can place a strain...
