Migraine Relief − Lake Orion & Washington MI

Migraines & headaches can be caused by a variety of factors, including joint & muscle tension. Dentists can help treat migraines & headaches with custom mouthguards.

While the factors that contribute to migraines vary from emotional triggers, hormonal changes & dietary factors, some people experience migraines due to muscle tension in the face & jaw, which is caused by teeth clenching.

Migraines are often treated with pain medication, but migraines caused by teeth clenching & muscle tension can be treated with a custom mouthguard from your dentist that eases muscle tension in your jaw. By reducing the intensity of muscle contraction as you clench your teeth, the device helps eliminate the muscle tension that can cause migraines & headaches. These mouthguards can also help treat tooth wear caused by clenching & muscle pain associated with TMD or abnormal jaw function.

What Are Migraines?

Migraines are characterized by severe throbbing pain, usually in one area of the head. They can be accompanied by nausea & vomiting, as well as sensitivity to light & sound. Migraines can last for several days, & for some people, they can interfere with daily activities.

Treatment Overview

Talk to your dentist if you’re experiencing migraines. They will be able to see if a custom mouthguard could help alleviate your symptoms.

Getting a custom mouthguard from your dentist is easy & simple! Your dentist will take some quick measurements & an impression of your teeth. Then, your device will be ready in about two weeks, & you’ll be able to try on the device & your dentist will make any necessary adjustments before your mouthguard is ready to go!

“I recently moved to the area and had not been to the dentist in over 4 years. I was obviously nervous but the team at Orion Lakes Family Dentistry did everything they could to make me calm and help me. They didn't judge when I told them how long it had been and they helped me get the care I needed. So far I had a root canal, after my initial exam, and it was painless and fast! I would recommend Orion Lakes Family Dentistry to anyone looking for a new dentist!”

“If I could give this office more stars I would! From the moment I walked in the door I felt like family. Greeted by everyone with a warm smile and kind words. Very efficient staff got me back before my appointment time. Lisa did my cleaning and was absolutely fantastic! Thorough, knowledgeable, kind, caring and quick. Being my first time there, it far exceeded my expectations. Dr. Witer was wonderful and he has organized an amazing support staff! Highly recommend this office.”

“Best dentist and staff around! My husband and I started going here when we moved out this way and couldn't be happier. Dr. Witer has an awesome personality and is always asking how the family is doing. He remembers my husband's name and my kids name. We eventually switched my daughter over to him as well because she wasn't a big fan of her other dentist which was actually for kids with tvs on the ceiling to watch cartoons and all that, though I knew when she met Dr. Witer she would love him because of his personality and she did. She is very picky when it comes to doctors, teachers and etc so it's always nice finding a person she loves seeing.”
