My bite is very uncomfortable right now - My lower teeth actually hit the roof of my mouth, and since the teeth are moving, the top of my mouth is very sensitive.
I was feeling around up there this morning, and noticed that my gumline behind my two upper front teeth goes back quite a bit.. I'm not sure if that's normal, or if they've receded as a result of my teeth constantly hitting that part of my mouth.
My ortho hasn't said anything about it, but it concerns me.. Anybody else know anything about this?
Upper teeth receding..?
