Headaches after getting night guard for TMJ?

Question

OK, so I may just be having headaches that have nothing to do with this, but I was just wondering, do people who have just gotten night guards (for TMJ) get headaches at first? I've had the night guard about a week and it's been fine, but now I'm getting headaches. Could be unrelated. But I would appreciate your input.

Answer 1

It could very well be related. Call your dentist and bring your night guard to your appointment. The appliance may need an adjustment. Good luck.

Answer 2
