My teeth suddenly don't touch on the right side, what can I do? (Photo)

Question

About 3 months ago my bite suddenly changed, it was perfect before and suddenly my teeth on the right side didn't touch and the left side was just uncomfortable. It happened about a week and a half after a small filling on a back tooth on the left. (It was my first filling) The dentist checked my bite on this tooth many times and said it was fine. I just don't know how this happened.... I'm getting braces in about 7 months, will this do anything? I'm only 16 to btw... (Right side of teeth first)

DO NOT HAVE  Invisalign or Orthdontics before having a consultation on Epigenetic Orthodontics and the DNA Appliance.  You have an extremely constricted arch and only functional appliances and surgery will fix this.  The bite change should set off warning alarms of future TMJoint problems.  Ideally you would have had expansion orthodontics at a young age but certainly prior to age 8.  Interesting the DNA Appliance was invented by a brilliant British orthodontist  and PhD David Singh but is more popular in the US than in Britain.My first choice is the DNA Appliance which will grow your jaws orthopedically giving you a big wide smile but also growing your airway.  It is also possible tp utilize ALF or Schwartz type appliances but the DNA is probably the best in the field.  It Biomimetrically (following nature) grows you orthopedically and pneumopedically.The problems with invisalign and standard orthodontics is relapse. Almost 100% of adult cases will relapse without retention.  You have a narrow  and extremely underdeveloped maxillary arch that tends toward relapse. The reason for relapse is that the teeth and/or jaws are in an unstable relation. The proper time to wear retention varies and can be at your discretion but relapse is actually the bodies attempt to establish homeostasis or a healthy equilbrium.The DNA Appliance and Epigenetic Orthodontics are used 12-14 hours a day during active treatment but are taken out the rest of the time. This allows homeostasis to be continually achieved throughout treatment and long term maintenance is usually not needed because stability has been achieved by orthopedic movement of bone, pneumopedic correction of the airway during orthodontic treatment. This is called Biomimetic Treatment, meaning it duplicates ideal development that naturally occurs.There is far less chance of TMJ Disorders, Sinus Problems, Snoring Problems, Sleep Apnea, Headaches, Bruxism and many other problems with Epigenetic Orthodontics and the DNA Appliance.The mRNA Appliance offers a possible permanent cure for snoring and sleep apnea.Ita L Shapira DDS, D,ABDSM, D,AAPM, FICCMOChair, Alliance of TMD OrganizationsThinkBetterLife.com
