Headache and Teeth: Is there a connection

Anonim

"Do you suffer a headache, migraine?" - One of the questions I always ask my patients. "And what is your teeth?" - Such an answer usually I hear.

More than 70% of patients after prosthetics, in which even slightly disrupted the ratio of jaws suffer from chronic headaches. Basically, this is complaints of headache and pain in the neck. Also observed pain in the field of temples, temporomandibular joints, in the depths of the eye. Sometimes the pain was irradized in hand.

Patients did not associate this pain with previous prosthetics and regularly accepted painkillers, which helped only for a while.

After the sacrament began to increase, adverse symptoms of chronic pain joined, such as: dizziness, ears, irritability, depression. Patients were treated from the nervous disorder, which they did not really have.

Why is this happening?

The temporomandibular joint of a person is the center of equilibrium of the whole body. In a person with the right interpordability of the jaws, the lower jaw in the complex with muscles is a counterweight to the whole body. In case of violation of the compliance of the jaws, this equilibrium is lost and not only muscles supporting the lower jaw, but also the whole body forced to take additional load. Subsequently, there is a violation of the skeleton symmetry. But! As a rule, patients do not bind the manifestation of scoliosis with a violation of the interpordability of the jaws.

To remove muscle pain and eliminate the changes of the skeleton can only be in one way - to bring a bite to the state of the norm. One of the methods that make it possible to do - equilibration of the lower jaw or total prosthetics. It is it that allows the bite to lead to the state of the norm and solve the problem with the posture disorder.
