Question:
I had 4 crowns put on top front 2 yrs ago with contouring of gums.

I was told by a periodontist now that I have impingement of biological margin, but at nite I clench and my jaw moves forward and leans on teeth 9 & 10 which causes pressure and discomfort during the day.

I have a deeper bite now also.

The periodontist wants to do a crown lengthening procedure to fix problem. I just think its the pressure I put on those teeth at nite. A nite guard doesn't help much, aggrevating the problem. What should I do? ... Visitor from WI

Answer:
It is impossible to comment on your case without seeing you and a full set of x-rays as well as doing my own mobility test and probings.

If your teeth are splayed, you may need orthodontics, periodontal splinting, crowns with or without osseous (bone) recontouring, etc.
