Q. If a patient said to you “My bite has changed. My front bottom teeth touch the back of my front top teeth before the rest of my teeth touch. When I close my mouth now (in order for my back teeth to touch), there is a lot of pressure created where my front bottom teeth are pressed up against the backs of my front top teeth. My bottom front teeth press up against the backs of my top front teeth, and inhibit me from closing my mouth. These symptoms have developed within the passed few months. ” What would you recommend? I had a dentist tell me that to treat this you had to file down the backs of my top teeth, and he also filed down the tops of my bottom teeth (even though he said my bottom teeth were not going to be touched). This did not help at all, and now my bottom teeth look slanted and uneven, and are now sensitive to cold temperatures. Also, I feel like the condition has worsened, and this deviation in my bite has only gotten worse as time progresses.
A. Hi
The teeth can drift causing this problem if there is an underlying problem with your bite or if the teeth are loose due to gum disease. It sounds like you need to see a dentist specialising in this sort of problem, perhaps an orthodontist, or periodontist if the gums are involved. If you would like further help please contact me at the practice and we will be happy to help you
kind regards

I am having the same problems you are exactly. My front bottom teeth are hitting the backs of my front top teeth. This also has only started over the past few months. My teeth are starting to get sharp and worn down. Did you find something that fixed your problem? I have an appointment with an orthodontist, but I am so confused as to why this would all of a sudden start happening. Let me know if you found out what caused your problem.
I have the same problem. Out of the blue my bite has changed plus I have a very slight tremor in the mouth but very intermittent. I am worried that physio has not helped but Mylostan did. Could it be stress? Am worried if it is the start of PD?
I have the same problem, I have to kick my lower jaw back in order for my back teeth to touch and to eat. So when I do that my bottom lower teeth now hit the back of my front teeth. Happened within the past couple months, my dentist is sending me to an orthodontist so I report how that goes. Strange………….
