Help in figuring out natural bite
Hi,
Recently i have undergone 8 rcts and bridges. Bridges are placed on both left and right side at upper and lower jaws. 2 more teeth need a bridge ( to be placed yet) on my right lower jaw.
Ever since bridges are placed i think i am.not relaxing my jaw at natural position but keeps changing the position now and then. Because i sense height at bridges few times but not at other times. I am also having slight tmj issues because of this.
So i need help in figuring out what is my natural position. I feel because of this i am also asking for too much adjustments at my bridges.
