Questions

Why can my bite feel different?

Bite feeling can change with jaw position, muscle tension, joint changes, dental treatment, or recent locking.

Should I adjust my bite immediately?

Usually it is safer to evaluate first, because irreversible adjustment should not be based only on subjective feeling.

What should I record?

Record when it began, which side touches first, recent dental work, trauma, locking, and daily variation.
