Getting veneer has made my jaw ache and caused me headaches. What should I do?

Q.
I had veneers placed on peg laterals. once covered in bonding it was time to replace the material. My new teeth hurt and look bad. My teeth are moving, partucularly the neighboring teeth on the left and it is ruining my orthadontic work. My jaw hurts despite my following g dentist directions to use Advil and ice. It has been six weeks from her first attempt and one week from her replacing I e veneer due to what she thought was a bad color. My dentist has done six adjustments and one replacement but I can only close my jaw comfortably laying down, not standing, talking, or eating. I have a gap now and a constant headache. What is wrong?
A.
I would advise you to seek a second opinion with a very high quality practice and an experienced cosmetic dentist, someone who has a lot of experience with the management of veneers and the bite, as soon as possible. It could be many things and without a thorough examination and some special tests it’s impossible for me to be able to accurately diagnose your situation
