Default Misaligned Dentures??

I had all my bottom teeth removed on tuesday and I cant wear the temporary denture as I when in I can't shut my mouth and look like a horse! I have always had an overbite so my bottom teeth sat behind the front quite comfortably but the new ones line up so my jaw is pushed into an unnatural position with teeth touching edge to edge. I have to live with these for 8 weeks + while the gums settle down but are impossible to wear so will never get used to them. The plan was to have the top set replaced in about 3 months time when have got used to the bottom but am thinking I'm quite fond of them now as they are doing all the work and hiding the expanse at the bottom. This is on NHS so do I just have to live with what I'm given and lump it or is there a solution?
