AIMS: The purpose of this case report is to share an incidence where a bite force imbalance and occlusal interferences contributed to chronic daily headaches. METHODS: A TekScan digital occlusal analyzer was used to evaluate the bite and systematically guide alterations to the patient's occlusion. RESULTS: After the bite was adjusted and optimized, the patient reported a decrease in her headaches.Shortly afterward, she sustained trauma to her face that altered the way her bite came together. Via physical therapy modalities to heal the muscle, occlusion was restored to the pre-trauma relationship. CONCLUSIONS: Once the patient's bite was balanced and the interferences removed, the headaches were greatly improved.
