The answer is.......: Headaches can be from a single cause or multiple sources. An overbite alone will not cause headaches. However, occlusal (bite) problems such as biting prematuraties, collapsed bites, displaced jaws, misaligned teeth, habitual bites, etc. May cause muscle spasms, joint symptoms, and referred pain, all of which might contribute to your headaches. Consult your physician and a dentist.

Possible: See a prosthodontist for an evaluation of your bite. You may be straining and spasming your head and neck muscles.
