So, when you say they are pulling the teeth back, do you mean tilting them in or pulling them backwards in your gums? It seems to me if they tilt them in and your teeth are short like mine are they would look even shorter. I read that moving the teeth "back" could cause problems with the TMJ. I'm totally confused.
