I had the all on four implants placed September 7th, top and bottom. I had temporaries placed on the same day. The temporaries are extremely bulky, with 1/2 palate in the roof of my mouth and under my tongue. Also, the screws go through this part as if they are going through the roof (and bottom) of my mouth. The example I was shown at my consult appointment had the screws going through the teeth and did not have this bulky palate like part to them. How should the permanents be?

You should definitely check in with the dentist/surgeon that placed the implant for you. It is not unusual for there to be complications with implants used under an All on Four denture case. It is also possible that the bite needs further adjustment from the dentist that did the all on 4 procedure.
Without X-rays and a clinical exam it will be hard to give you an answer regarding your concerns. If you dont have gum disease treatment with clear aligners will likely be the best option for you. An in office consultation is your best next step. We offer complimentary consultations.
While waiting 2 years isn't ideal, it is possible there will still be enough bone for implants or All on Four treatment after waiting, especially if the bone was grafted at the time the teeth were extracted.
