my denture is pushing my teeth forward

Q. i had a tooth removed & was fitted with a partial denture,which is now pushing my surrounding front teeth forward what will i have to do to get them back to their original position? my dentist ground the denture back but this hasn’t helped.

A. A denture is highly unlikely to cause your teeth to move forwards.   The adjustment your dentist made sounds like the correct tratment to carry out.
