I recently got my wisdom teeth out (last friday, so about 6 days ago) and i'm really worried, because it seems that my whole upper part of my mouth has shifted FORWARD,leaving me with an overbite and space in between my top* and bottom* teeth (which i didn't have before) I'm reaaaally upset, because my teeth where in great shape before the surgery, i just got my braces off last year.I now talk with a slight lisp because of it. And now i have this ugly,horrible overbite and i'm scared that its permanent! I still have a good amount of swelling in the back of my teeth, and also have trouble stretching my jaw- so my main question is-

Is this over-bite permanent or is it just because i still have some swelling in the back of my mouth? Will it ever go back to normal?

Please help, i've looked everywhere, and i'm really upset. :/ (link)
I would think that an overbite has more to do with jaw structure and less to do with the position of your teeth. I would suggest calling your orthodontist. He should be able to give you a better answer.
