About deepbite and bite plate.
Can change in tongue position make cheekbones to look prominent...?
I am using a bite plate for 1 month for correction of deepbite problem and coz of that my tongue touches continuously the upper palate of mouth where the plate is located and I can see that the right side of plate has some deep marks of tongue on it coz of large pressure of all day on that side and I have done it for almost 30 days daily and now I can see that right cheekbone has become prominent as compared to left one...So is it possible that only pressure of tongue can bring this change and to which doctor I should consult now? And is it reversible?

Cant say about the reversible. But u should consult a good orthodontist. Deep bite can never be corrected only with bite plate u should also go for orthodontic treatment
