While I don't get migraines, I do regularly get massive headaches and grind my teeth which are in such bad shape the dentist said it would be cheaper to just get full upper and lower implants at this point. Seeing how alcohol doesn't always trigger the migraine I'd say yes it's probably more to do with your teeth, but I'm just going on what you wrote to produce my unsolicited prognosis.
As for what alcohol triggers for me, GURD (severe and chronic acid reflux) and IBS-D.
The GURD can trigger almost immediately or later, depending on how strong the drink is.
The IBS-D usually hits within 1 to 2 hours of drinking and then it's hours of pain, cramping, sitting on the toilet, and praying for death.
I haven't had a drink since March 2019 and while I'll never fully escape the symptoms of either of these, I have managed to reduce the frequency and severity of them by cutting out all alcohol.
Best of luck figuring out what's causing your migraines. Best advice I can give is stop drinking for a while and see if you still get them, if yes then it's probably not the alcohol.
