Can Invisalign® Help With Jaw Pain and Headaches?
If you experience frequent jaw pain, tension, or headaches, the cause may be closer than you think, your bite.
For some patients, Invisalign® isn’t just about straightening teeth, it’s about improving comfort and relieving ongoing strain. Here at Goehring Dental in Austin, TX, we look beyond aesthetics to evaluate how your teeth, bite, and jaw work together as a whole.
How Bite Alignment Affects the Jaw
When teeth don’t align properly, the jaw muscles and joints are forced to compensate. Over time, this extra strain can contribute to:
Jaw soreness or tightness
Frequent headaches
Clicking or popping in the jaw
Facial tension or fatigue
Even mild misalignment can impact how comfortably your jaw functions day to day.
How Invisalign® Can Help
Invisalign® gently moves teeth into healthier alignment, which may:
Reduce unnecessary strain on the jaw
Improve overall bite balance
Ease muscle tension
Support long-term jaw comfort
While Invisalign® isn’t the right solution for every cause of jaw pain, many patients notice meaningful relief when bite alignment improves.
Who Might Benefit?
You may benefit from Invisalign® if you:
Have bite misalignment or crowding
Clench or grind your teeth
Experience headaches linked to jaw tension

If jaw pain or headaches are interfering with your daily life, it’s worth taking a closer look at your bite. Sometimes the issue isn’t stress alone, it’s how your teeth fit together.
