1 year ago I had filling redone that had fallen out. The new work completely change my bite. I practice yoga and meditation daily for the past 10 years. I am very flexible and highly aware of my body. This new bite threw off the rest of the alignment in my body and is causing me big problems. What do I tell the dentist? What type of dentist should I see? Will they reshape the filling bringing my bite back into alignment?

I would suggest going to the dentist ( a normal one ) and check if the filling is perhaps too high. If it is too high, it can be adjusted. A filling that is too high, might lead to bruxism, which could cause muscle spasms or pain in the upper back, neck and head.
If the pain is in another area, it could be unrelated. Then I would suggest seeing a chiropractor or physiotherapist for a consult.
