My dentist did note that I seem to be grinding my teeth a little (probably at night), but didn't think the headaches were related. I'll mention it again next ti

  If he's looked at it already he's probably right but doesn't hurt to double check. I mentioned it mainly because I've mentioned my headaches to many doctors over the years and none even raised the possibility or suggested I talked to my dentist about my headaches, so I wasted a lot of time until a dentist happened to bring it up. If your dentist is unsure if it's worth it and you don't want to spend the money on a custom mould on a long shot I suggest asking for a recommendation for a cheap and crappy generic biteguard to try for a few days. It won't be comfortable and may very well affect your sleep, but it'll be enough to verify it there's any point without the cost. Another long shot that you've probably discounted already: Make sure you're not compressing your neck at night e.g. by pushing your head up against the top of your bed. I was doing that too, and fixing that helped a lot as well.
