Also, my jaws are sore when I wake up in the morning. After getting the bridge, I felt jaw soreness, and my dentist adjusted my bite, but something is still wrong. I am anxious about whether I need more dental work or a new bridge. Will you please tell me what my dentist might recommend for the problems with my bridge so I can anticipate it or know whether to get a second opinion? Thank you. Nichelle from SC<\/p>\n<p>Nichelle,<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your question.<\/p>\n<p>A new dental bridge should not misalign your bite. It takes advanced training for a dentist to restore dental implants with a bridge and achieve a balanced bite.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Is a New Implant Bridge Causing Jaw Soreness?<\/h2>\n<p>When a new implant bridge causes jaw soreness and your bite is off, the implants are in the wrong position, or your dentist incorrectly placed the bridge.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bridge placement<\/strong> \u2013 Your dentist may have placed the bridge incorrectly or not secured it well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Incorrect implant placement<\/strong> \u2013 Highly skilled restorative dentists make a surgical guide for the oral surgeon or periodontist to place your implants precisely. Without the guide, a surgeon may place the implants in the wrong position, and the crowns or dental bridge will not fit. Miscommunication with the surgeon can lead to a misaligned bite.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0Schedule an Implant Bridge Second Opinion<\/h2>\n<p>We recommend finding a restorative dentist with advanced training in occlusion and bite for a second opinion on your implant bridge. The dentist will examine your implants and bridge to determine if they are mismatched.<\/p>\n<p>If your dentist cannot resolve the issue, you can request a refund for these reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your dental bridge does not function well.<\/li>\n<li>Your jaw soreness suggests you are <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-tmj-specialist.html\">beginning to experience TMJ disorder<\/a><\/li>\n<li>An advanced implant dentist gave you a second opinion and found the cause of your discomfort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Request your dental records before switching dentists. Your new dentist may be willing to help you get a refund if your current dentist is uncooperative.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\">Metairie, Louisiana dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune sponsors this post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After getting a new implant bridge in late June, my upper and lower teeth don&#8217;t meet when I chew on the right side of my mouth.
