How an uneven bite can cause headaches:

The 4 illustrations below show how an uneven bite can cause headaches. During your consult with Dr. Simon, he will use his FDA-approved Bite Discluder, shown in the 4th illustration, to test and diagnose your bite. If the test relieves your headaches, it confirms that your pain is due to an uneven bite, which can be corrected.
1. With a properly aligned bite, your jaw is centered, and your teeth fit together correctly.
3. The jaws are constantly shifting for teeth to fit which causes muscle spasms and pain (headaches).
2. With an uneven bite, the jaw stretches to fit the teeth, sometimes causing it to shift out of its socket.
4. Dr. Simon's Discluder guides teeth to let jaws center so the muscles can relax and the pain stops.

Here's the truth about most headaches

  • Most of the information you have learned about headaches is actually NOT TRUE.
  • Over 75% of headaches are triggered by muscles due to excessive teeth clenching or grinding.
  • Teeth clenching and grinding aren’t caused by stress but by your unconscious effort to make your teeth fit. Stress worsens the discomfort from an uneven bite, increasing clenching and grinding, which leads to frequent headaches.
  • At Dental Care Stamford, our in-house specialist for headaches means no more referrals or month-long wait times. We can help you now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to Your Questions

Headaches are a very broad category of problems and include dozens of potential causes. Dental causes of head, neck or facial pain could include cavities, abscessed teeth, gum infection, cysts, tumors of the jaw bones or swollen glands, broken or cracked teeth and TMJ dysfunction syndrome.

Your bite has probably been off for quite some time. What has recently changed was your ability to tolerate it. In other words, your brain has always known that there is a disharmony between your teeth and jaw joints, but it has chosen not to be bothered by it until recently. It may be due to the fact that you are experiencing more stress lately. It may be due to fatigue or any of the factors that I’ve discussed in this book. Sooner or later, most people will react to a tooth jaw discrepancy with the erasure pattern of tooth grinding or clenching.
Unfortunately, your last dentist may not have looked at your bite and its relationship to your jaw joints. They may have given your bite a cursory look and pronounced it okay, but that is not the same thing as helping you get your jaw centered and then checking to see if your teeth line up in harmony with the joints. If closing your teeth together forces the jaw joints off-center, you have physical evidence of conflict between the teeth and the jaw joints.

Stress does not cause headaches. A conflict between the biting surfaces of the teeth and jaw joint is the cause. Stress can take a patient, who has been tolerating this discomfort, and reduce their tolerance to the point that the pre-existing dental condition begins to cause pain.
