Jaw Problems and Headaches

Jaw Problems and Headaches in Central London

The way your teeth meet when your jaws bite together is called a ‘dental occlusion’. If you are suffering from Jaw problems and headaches please talk to us about some options.

If your jaws do not bite together properly, you can have a malocclusion, problem with your teeth, in the gums, in the temporaro-mandibular joint (TMJ) or in the muscles that move your jaw. Missing teeth can cause an unbalanced bite, which can cause uneven pressure of your teeth.

TMJ can cause some people to clench the jaw tightly and grind their teeth at night, leading to your teeth wearing down. You may also experience facial pain, headaches, discomfort and clicking when chewing or biting, or ringing or buzzing in your ears. Further problems include migraines, and neck, shoulder, or back pain. You can also develop pain behind your eyes and sinus pain.

Instead of the above symptoms, you may experience changes to your teeth, such as:

  • Flattened, worn teeth
  • Broken teeth, fillings, crowns
  • Loose teeth
  • Sensitive teeth
  • Toothache with no apparent cause

Dr Frühbeck provides orthodontic treatment for adults and children, including fixed appliances and clear aligners.

“I love transforming peoples’ smiles and giving them a healthy functional bite.”

I really enjoy working at Sonria Dental because we have a wonderful international team that work really well together, creating a family like culture that we the team and our patients absolutely love. In addition, the clinic has the latest technologies that allow me to deliver the most state-of-the-art orthodontic care that not only transform peoples’ smiles but also give them a healthy functional bite.

As the resident orthodontist, I provide a wide range of quality orthodontic treatments to adults and children alike, with a special focus in achieving a healthy occlusion while also straightening teeth.

I am specialised in both comprehensive and interceptive orthodontics, with fixed appliances as well as aesthetic alternatives like clear aligners, with a focus on occlusion and TMJ.

I completed my orthodontic training at New York University USA , followed by a 2 year advanced postgraduate course in orthodontics, occlusion and TMJ at the FACE/Roth-Williams Center in Spain. I’m passionate about staying up to date with the latest trends and am continually learning through national and international courses in my areas of interest.

I’m an active member of the British Orthodontic Society and the European Orthodontic Society, a regular lecturer at the Cephtactics PG Certificate Course in Orthodontics and I’ve been a speaker at international meetings.

Outside dentistry, I love sailing and travelling.

I speak English, Spanish, German and French.

We can address jaw problems at Sonria, to help you find the perfect solution. Examples include, and are not limited to:

  • Wearing a device available to protect teeth and help prevent the TMJ from clenching and grinding.
  • Carefully adjusting your teeth so they meet evenly by changing the direction and position of the slopes (‘tooth equilibration’).
  • Replacement of missing teeth either with a partial denture or a bridge.
  • Depending on the origin or severity of your problem, you may need either orthodontic treatment or maxillofacial surgery.

However, best practices are established on a case-by-case basis so it is important for you to book an appointment as soon as possible.
