I got my permanent crowns in on Friday prior to that I had temporaries on which felt fine and very close to my real teeth. But my permanent ones are so big & long & protruding out. I dont know what is causing the lisp, the largeness or them sticking out. I got them shaved down a little on Monday hoping that'll help but they still look out & I have a lisp still. The doctor told me to come back in 3 days if I still dont like them. Idk what to do.
