I have a big crown problem!

My teeth naturally only hit on the right side
But I didn't remember that when i got my crown fitted
So they said your right and left side need to be touching
So I had them keep cutting down the back right crown until it was super low
So then the crown didn't hit at all, only one right side tooth was hitting
So they had to cut down the right side teeth so the crown would hit

Now my teeth are even and they hit on both left and right sides
One big problem though is I can't comfortably close my mouth now
I have have to stretch my jaw to close it and its uncomfortable so I never can close my teeth together. But leaving my teeth open is not as comfortable as letting them rest on each other closed

I could get a new crown made and let it be higher this time, but then my other right side teeth wouldn't hit because they were cut down
What do I do?

With such limited information, your situation is too hard to understand in this forum. Maybe go to another real dentist for a 2nd opinion before you have any further treatment.
