Can my crown be fixed if it’s not lined up correctly with my teeth?

Question

I had a placement of a crown put in my mouth and I feel like my tooth is not placed in the right angle cause my none of my teeth touch except the crown and my bottom tooth hits the crown when I close my mouth/chew. Is my teeth not lined up correctly?I can’t chew because of the teeth hitting. Since the crown is cemented is this fixable?

Hello, the normal occlusion the top teeth and bottom have a contact but in case you feel that contact is hurting you or is not normal there is something that your doctor has to value and change.  It can fix, if it continue have to be replaced.

Ricardo Alvarez, DDS · Answer

Is up to a certain point normal that your crown is not fully adjusted the same day is cemented because you very likely are numb or because the height proof test performed by your dentist are done with side to side and front to back conscious movements and not unconscious rotational movements, this only happens when you eat therefore is normal for you to notice this until you go back home and the numbness goes away. 
  
This does not mean there is something wrong with your bite because is your crown that needs to adjust to your bite not the other way around, if the adjustment is minimal this can be done in a single appointment but if for any reason this does not work you should discuss with your doctor about replacing your crown.
