Teething definitely causes enough discomfort to mess with sleeping/waking. It was the cause of a lot of sleep disruption for DD. If he has other signs of teething, I'd follow up on that before I started messing with his bedtime. Moving DD's bedtime later when there's a sleep disruption issue going on (teething, growth spurt, daylight savings time) has only ever made her wake earlier.
