If you are uncomfortable after the crown is fixed, then contact points have to be adjusted. Please visit your dentist who should be able to correct it.

The problem you are facing is probably because of HIGH POINT. This occurs when the tooth with cap touches earlier than other teeth when you close your mouth. This obstructs normal closing of other teeth of the jaws
Next Steps
You should go to your dentist, he will readjust the cap by minor grinding.
Health Tips
Chronic high point may cause tooth to start paining,muscle fatigue, TMJ problems.
