Consequences of Dental Occlusion Anomalies

How Common Are Occlusion Anomalies

Up to 80% of potential patients live unaware of the problems caused by occlusion anomalies. The issue is left to chance, assuming nature will resolve it on its own.

Common Symptoms

Another group of patients complains of neuromuscular and joint disorders: muscle pain while chewing, joint clicking, headaches, neck pain, and discomfort when turning the head. Many patients seek help specifically for chronic headaches, while the real cause lies in the angle of occlusal planes.

The Link Between Bite and Migraines

Few people know that one of the causes of migraines and chronic headaches is malocclusion. To relieve symptoms, an occlusal splint is often placed on one of the jaws. If the symptoms disappear, the problem was indeed the malocclusion.
