It is estimated that approximately 1 in 12 people in Australia, suffer from persistent migraines and headaches.

A great number of these cases are caused by a TMJ disorder. However, not many people realise that migraines and headaches may be caused by TMJ disorder.

In the many cases seen by Glebe Dental Group, many of the patients suffering headaches and migraines discovered TMJ disorder was the cause. This is due to a misaligned jaw, causing the joint in your jaw or the TMJ to become inflamed causing muscle spasms. In turn, the muscle spasms make the muscles in the face, neck, shoulders and head tighten up leading to the severe headache and migraine attacks.

Another cause for headaches or migraines related to TMJ disorder is related more on the nerves located around your TM joint. The TM joint can become inflamed. This inflammation causes pressure on the nerves around the joint and ear causing pain to shoot up around the ear and head. This is one of the most common TMJ disorders related headache and migraine. It is also the most painful and the hardest to treat because it affects the nerves rather than just the muscles.
