Full mouth reconstruction utilizing porcelain veneers, crowns and bridgework for the treatment of extensive decay and the correction of severe occlusal (bite related) problems. This patient suffered with daily headaches her entire adult life. The headaches were the result of an unbalanced bite relationship between her upper and lower teeth. She had been treated unsuccessfully by various physicians over the years and was dependant upon pain medication to relieve her daily headaches. The cause of her headaches was never properly diagnosed.
Upon completion of her full mouth reconstruction and the establishment of a balanced and comfortable bite relationship this patient has reported to us that she no longer suffers from the daily headaches that plagued her for so many years. We completed this case in 2005 and she has been free of headaches ever since.
