When your teeth do not line up properly with your jaw joint you stretch the muscles involved in chewing.  This would be similar to stretching a rubber band and keeping it in constant tension.  The muscles begin to spasm and cramp.  The result is the pain associated with many headaches diagnosed as tension, cluster, or migraine headaches.  It has been estimated 85% of headaches are related to problems with the alignment of the teeth and jaw joint.  The most common muscles affected are on the side and top of your head.  Some people who suffer from these intense headaches will also have pain in the back of their head, neck, and even upper back and shoulders.

     With Bioesthetic dentistry we take the stress off the muscles and bring them into balance with the teeth and jaw joint.  This allows the muscles to release the tension, restore a good blood supply, and relax the muscles.  The result is a reduction in severity and frequency of headaches,  and for many patients a total elimination of them.

     Suffering from these headaches can affect your life and relationships.  You owe it to yourself to find out how we can help you.  To let Dr. Haake help you call 913-381-6644 for a consultation.  We are open Mon.-Thurs. from 8am to 5pm.  If you need to call after hours you can leave a message, or e-mail Dr. Haake at hfdental@sbcglobal.net.  We will contact you as soon as we can.
