So I recently got a bonded retainer on the top two teeth to close a gap that opened up after a got a dental cleaning, but know my bite is off, and Im having jaw pain along with headaches. What should I do? Should I worry or should I wait to see if my bite will adjust.
I had it done a week and a half ago and i thought last friday that i had lost it while eatting but then i went back to the dentist to have it checked out and my dentist said it was fine and everything was good and she even filed a pointy part down . So WHY does my left side feel like im biting on the tooth? when will that get better so i can eat normal again without feeling weird biting down feeling everytime on the left side?
I had a bonding filling done on my upper last tooth and a few days later while eatting i thought i lost it but i went back this past tuesday the dentist checked it andsaid it was fine nothing was wrong and she filed it a bit down on one of the pointy bits but it still feels when I'm eating on that side
Dentist offered to fix the gap and lengthen my 2 front teeth. Ended up bonding 6 front & protecting the back. Great, until he smoothed the back out a week later & left me with NO BITE, says he can't find it. Now jaw pain, sensitivity, no chewing and now I'm seeing (feeling and spitting through) triangle gaps between my uppers. I've been without a fitting retainer for 3 weeks since he took away my bite. He says that all this is normal and it's all in my head. Is it? *eating disorder survivor
Hello I just got upper & lower bonded retainers, when I close my jaw the 2 front lower teeth hits the upper retainer (sits right on the metal). Upper & lower molars can't touch each other when I bite down because of it. The upper retainer is glued to the most upper part of the teeth right below the gum line. My dentist said that is the best place for it and won't lower it. Is this normal? I am worried that my 2 lower front teeth will get damaged in the long run constantly hitting metal.
This is the first time I went to this dentist. I had a tooth filling that I had done years ago fall off, so I went to this dentist to replace it. After the filling, he made some bite adjustment without telling me he is grinding down enamal instead of the filling material. Is it even safe to do so? I'm concerned that those parts with thinner enamal may be vulnerable to cavity. What should I do now to prevent it from cavity? Should I use any special toothpaste? Thank you.
