Age 72, female - can you advise on temporary bridges that are crooked & protruding? (Photos)

Question

I am 72 year old, caucasian woman. I had all my teeth removed in august and 5 implants on the upper and 5 on the lower, and upper and lower temporaries attached. The temporaries are asymmetrical, the centers are not aligned, the arches are protruding up to 1/2 cm away from my gums, there are bulky parts on my floor and on my palate making it difficult to talk, I only touch one or two points, my smile is crooked. The dentist does not consider correcting anything before the wax try in after 6 month.

This is more of a traditional luting approach for a full arch case.. i would not wait 6 months but more like 8 weeks or s and have a new 3d printed temporary denture, the way you bite will only cause issues for 6 months and this is not acceptable at all. The biggest issue is the esthetics of the implant placement in your smile/ esthetic zone, there will be no way to hide the implants/ metal/ transitional line. This seems poorly planned and executed and in need of serious revision for a good outcome, maybe more of an FP1/ natural prosthetic should be planned.

you need to correct that bite with new devices,what you need to is to change the angulations with multiunits and perform a new set of teeth wtih hybrid bars and also you will be able to change the shape,the size and the color,and yes you have a solution on the expert hands.
