Can a bad bite cause teeth mobility? I had an implant six month ago.

RHamed1Oct 30, 2017
After my implant the doctor adjusted a flipper that was very uncomfortable since it pressured on the surrounding teeth instead of the implant site(then he released the pressure a little) a while afterwards he said i have generalized upper and lower mobility, my perio said it wasn’t bone loss or anything but it was from a bad bite, and after my surgery my bite did change a lot (possibly because of the flipper it was too thick maybe) do i need braces to adjust the bite and stabilize my teeth?

Hello!It's unfortunate you had a bad experience with your dentist. If you have no trust in your current dentist, you should go somewhere else. You'll always be questioning if what your current dentist is suggesting is the right/best thing and that's no way to go forward with a dentist/patient...
