I am facing some issues with the temporary 6 unit front teeth bridge. Aesthetically my bridge seems just fine but fit wise I am having problems. My lower teeth are hitting the inside of the upper teeth when I move my jaw a little out. The banging is more when I speak certain words like "word", "conscious " , "perfect" . Is something wrong with the bridge? Can these issues be solved? I want to be 100% comfortable before giving the final impression. I am very tensed about this and getting panicky .
