Where My Teeth Go

Before, when I bite down, my upper front teeth always went in front of my bottom front teeth.
For some reason, starting Friday, one of my upper front teeth always goes behind my bottom front teeth.
Why did this happen, and is this a problem?

If your teeth have shifted so much that your front top teeth now go behind your lower teeth when you close your jaw, you need to get to a dentist for xrays ASAP.  There's always a reason that teeth would shift that greatly.  Only a dentist can help you find out why.

Good luck and let us know how you do.
My best to you,
Gellia

Oh, and that is when I try to put my upper teeth above my lower teeth.
When I bite down normally in a relaxed position, both my upper teeth go behind my lower teeth.
