Understanding the Dental Connection
When your teeth don’t align properly, your jaw muscles are forced to work harder to achieve balance. This constant strain can radiate to your head, neck, and even shoulders — resulting in tension headaches, migraines, or jaw discomfort.
Signs Your Bite Might Be the Culprit
• Frequent morning headaches
• Clicking or popping when opening your jaw
• Facial muscle pain or jaw fatigue
• Uneven tooth wear
• Grinding or clenching (bruxism)
