I have a dental question. My front teeth hit against each other and cause a lot of pain and affect my speech. This began after having a number of fillings replaced. I have jaw pain as a result of restricting how I speak to avoid my teeth from hitting. I have seen some dental specialits but they indicate my teeth are fitting correctly. However, there is does not resolve my pain.
Your suspicion seems to be right. It seems the way the upper and lower teeth interact with each other is not correct. This is also causing jaw discomfort. Get yourself examined by an occlusion specialist as this is an intricate matter and not all dentists understand occlusion very well.
