Why is It So Difficult to Get my Bite Right?

May 7, 2013
Asked By:Jeddah in Jeddah

On right side, I am having a 3 crown bridge and 2 side crowns replaced, yet after 6 fittings, my bite is not right. The back teeth hit in wrong place and side teeth do not connect, despite articulater paper and wax impressions. Last visit I could see the crowns had been glazed. Can they still be altered now and added to? How many times can a zirconia/ porcelain crown go back in the oven without weakening? This is the second bridge...the first one cracked in 3 places because the bite was off.
