Jaw misalignment
Jaw joint dysfunction and bite-related issues are two common headache causes, says Ronald Konig, DDS, a dentist in Houston who specializes in TMJ treatment.
“A big contributor to these headache episodes is a bad bite relationship. Simply said, this means that the upper and lower jaws have a poor alignment, which results in the muscles of the head and neck being strained,” Dr. Konig says. “The strain is made worse every time you eat, chew or swallow, which is probably in the range of 2,500 to 3,000 times per day.”
Also, sleep isn’t helping you at all: “If you clench or tighten your jaw when sleeping, it can cause discomfort with frequent headaches or ear ringing,” says Dr. Anne Bierman, DPT SCS, a physical therapist with Athletico Physical Therapy.
