Dental bridge with possible deep bite? (Photo)

cosmicdreamsFeb 22, 2024
I got a dental bridge last year but I haven’t been able to get a retainer. I’ve noticed some changes within my teeth. However, I am not sure if I have a deep bite or not - I cannot tell myself, but my face does look different (round and small).
