I have had equlibration done and have had 2 treatments so far. The 2nd tx I noticed that my R ear would try to release pressure but couldn t. This would occur during swallowing. I am also experiencing lack of contact on the chewing surface. The teeth seem to be riding the cusps but are not hitting hard. How do I ask the MD to improve the contact. It is affecting my ability to speak and my teeth in the front are hitting on the bottom. Thank you for your help.
Hi. Thanks for your concern. As per your query it seems that your treatment is progressive and as the teeth moves they may come cusp to cusp, and you have difficulty in chewing but when the treatment will complete and teetChatDoctores in correct alignment you can very well chew of your teeth... When the teeth re-align they become tender and chewing may be painful and pressure in the ear may be due to pressure created by the elastics placed in your mouth to move your teeth... If your front teeth have started hitting the bottom visit your dentist and tell him the problem, he can very well solve your problem by raising the height of your teeth by overfilling your molars with filling materialYour problems can get solved but if you are still doubtful about your treatment you can visit an ORTHODONTIST for second opinion. Hope your treatment becomes a success. All the best. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. .
