I had all-on-4 Nov 2022, I had a slight overbite with my natural teeth. Now I have a slight underbite and my tongue is doesn't fit in between my arches, I'm still in my temps, and have had 5 try ons that those teeth have not corrected the underbite or tongue problem. They told me they took my bite from a 3 to a 1 & that's why my jaw muscles are squeezing the bottom plate causing my mouth to move funny? Can this be corrected? They're not addressing the issues.
