"I tried everything to get rid of my headaches before I met Dr. Simon!"

Your Headaches are NOT Normal!

You may have just been improperly diagnosed.

The Source of Your Pain May Be an Uneven Bite

Believe it or not, over 75% of ALL head, neck or facial pain (which leads to headaches) is due to overworked head and jaw muscles that are triggered by a bite imbalance. So, YES! It is very much dental related! Most headache specialists agree that muscles are the trigger for most headaches. Unfortunately, the only solution presented to most patients are drugs that temporarily mask the pain and often have undesirable side effects.

"I didn't even consider that the reason for my headaches could be dental related!"

8 out of 10 patients who come to us tell us that they have seen so many doctors in hopes to cure their headaches, but have no luck finding a solution. While the doctors are doing their best, they may have just been diagnosing you improperly! Unlike other diseases, there are no medical tests for diagnosing these problems. Doctors have only the patient’s symptoms to make the diagnosis. In fact, headaches are often referred to as Medicine’s Great Imposter because they are so hard to diagnose and treat.

First things first, making a correct diagnosis. Once we have identified and diagnosed the problem you have we can check to see if your bite is the underlying source.

Treatment will not be presented if the test does not relieve your pain. To learn more about what to expect during your consultation click here.

If the test from the Best Bite Discluder relieves your pain for even a moment, then Dr. Simon knows that the reason for your pain is and uneven bite. The solution will be to eliminate the conflict between the teeth and jaw joints so there is no wobble in your bite. There are three options that can help achieve this –A bit guard, Bite adjustment, or orthodontic treatment. The treatment plan that will be presented to you will be the one that will best fit your situation and give you the relief you need.

Head, Neck and Facial Pain FAQs

Here are some of the FAQ we’ve received from our patients.

I get headaches. Could that be from my teeth?

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.

Since I wasn’t having this problem last week or last month, why did my bite suddenly go off?

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.

My last dentist said my bite was fine. How did I suddenly develop this problem?

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.

If I don’t treat my bite, could it get better by itself?

Isn’t tooth grinding just caused by stress?

No, absolutely not. This can be proven by the fact that many patients who have been treated successfully did not have their symptoms return, even though their lives appeared to become more stressful after treatment. Stress will make you less tolerant of whatever degree of unevenness there is in your bite, but once the bite is properly treated, the problems almost always go away.
