Left side of teeth closing before right
Hi
While biting my left side of teeth seem to touch before the right side, and teeth don't feel like they sit properly together. What should I do in such an instance.
It feels as if one of my teeth is longer.

This is known as high points. Their could be several reasons for it, like recent dental filling or capping in any tooth, any supra erupted tooth etc.
You need to consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.

Have you recently had any crowns or restorations/fillings done? There could be multiple reasons behind feeling this way, such as a high filling o crown, or some derangements in your bite or masticatory apparatus. Kindly consult your dentist to further understand and treat the problem.

Hello,
If any recent filling (Restorations), crowns (tooth Cap) have been done the high point on those could be the reason for your problem.
If no treatment has been then it can be due to mal-occlusion (Improper biting due to improper position of teeth), TM joint related issue.
Next Steps
Consult the nearby dentist for proper evaluation (i can help to connect one in Banglore.)
