Bite doesn't feel right after having a dental implant

Hi, I am 22 years old and had my mandibular first molar extracted on the right side when I was 19 years old. A month ago I had it replaced with an implant and crown. During the time where the molar was absent, my mandibular canine tooth seems to have moved away from the Central inscisors and my second molar has inclined towards the place where my first molar was. I'm pretty sure that it has ruined my bite and my jaw seems to click as a result and I begun clenching and grinding my teeth although not painful it is very uncomfortable (I suspect it is a tmj disorder). Even after replacing the tooth with a dental implant and crown a month ago things still remain the same. Has anyone had the same thing happen to them and can anyone recommend what I should do or any options to fix this?? Please help,
Thanks
