I've been to two top cosmetic dentists in the nation to get crowns, and they cannot get my bite right. What is an expert/specialist on bites called so I can get someone to help me? I have been in terrible pain for almost a year now, and I have spent over $70,000 on my mouth, and I still need more crowns, and I can't take it anymore. I desperately need someone to help me. I have ran out of money, and this has ruined my life!!! I need someone to get me out of pain so I can work.

Re: Bite Problems After Cosmetic Dentistry and Crowns

I am surprised that your highly qualified cosmetic dentists could not adjust your bite after the placement of your crowns. If you seek out a third dentist, I would refer you to a neuromuscular dental expert who has advanced training in treating neruromuscular problems such as TMJ.

Bite Problems after Cosmetic Dentistry

A top, nationally recognized cosmetic dentist should also be highly trained in treating the occlusion (bite) and temporomandibular joint.
