Headache, Insomnia and TMJ

Posted by Dr. Belgin Günay on Tue, 25 Jul 2023

Headache has been found in 65% of people wiith a nocturnal clenching or grinding habit.

People clench, grind or brux (both) because of increased Central Nervous System stimulation, the direct result of various amounts of pain, breathing dysfunction or anxiety.

With some patients who have these parafunctional habits, oral appliances such as nightguards and NTI's might work. NTI appliances are ones that do wonders for migraine headache sufferers.
