My prosthodontist just removed my 9 remaining upper teeth, and placed a temporary all on 4 implant. He stated that while he is working on that, he is also working to correct my overbite, using several different temp implants over time. I was happy that he was doing so much for me, however, I've just noticed that one of my lower teeth is now beginning to hurt with the new pressure it is receiving from the adjustments.

My prosthodontist has up to date x-rays, therefore he knows the condition of all of my teeth, before making the decision to begin the correction of the overbite. My concern, is that if this tooth cracks or breaks due to the pressure, that I will be forced to pay even more money now to correct that tooth, when I had planned to wait until next year to focus on correcting my lower teeth. I do not like being forced to do things I'm not ready to do, and I'm scared that he won't fix the tooth unless I pay full price.

What should I do about this, and how should I present this issue to my prosthodontist? I will be seeing him on 3/27 for further evaluation and another new temp implant to further the correction.
