Tooth and Mouth Problems
Teeth shifting
Sir/Madam
I was prescribed to use upper night guard. After wearing the night guard for 2 nights, I feel that my upper teeth no. 24 is not properly aligning with the lower teeth. Is it possible that the teeth shifts only after 2 nights usage of night guard in case the fitment is not proper
Thanks in advance.

Bridge gap, fit issues: guidance needed
Dear Esteemed Dentists, I need guidance on a new 6-unit bridge (cemented 25 days ago by a prosthodontist) with fit issues noticed within 5 days. Abutments are healthy canines and RRT lateral incisors with posts. Issues:
Palpable gap (fingertip fits) on the left canine lingual side, sometimes trapping food.
left Canine crown feels bulky, causing constant soft tissue irritation.
Sharp Margin: Left lateral incisor margin caused chronic gum irritation after smoothing attempts.
Dentist’s Responses: Claims gap is an intentional "cleansing gap." Proposed solutions: gum massage gel for 48 days or sealing with bonding material. Suggested a CBCT scan. Second Opinion: Confirmed poor fit/technical error.
Questions:
Are these gaps clinically acceptable?
Are proposed solutions (gel, bonding) standard ethical treatments?
What are the long-term risks to abutment teeth?
What is the standard of care for rectification?
I seek guidance on an ethical path to ensure my dental health.
Thank you.
