Jaw Problems & Headaches

The way your teeth meet when your upper and lower jaws close together is known as a bite, or occlusion. If your teeth don’t fit together properly, then you could have a ‘bad bite’ or malocclusion. This can cause problems with your teeth , gums ,  or lockjaw. You may also experience an increase in headaches and migraines, along with pain in either the face, neck and shoulder muscles, caused by increased clenching or grinding of teeth, mainly during sleep time.

This is an aspect of dentistry that Dr  Joe Narcisi is really passionate about, having practised this special interest for nearly  two decades.

If you recognise any of these symptoms, feel free to contact us for a consultation.

Treatments to improve the condition might require painless adjustment or re-contouring of teeth, the wearing of custom made appliances at night time, or orthodontic treatment to re-align the teeth
