Just for the record; after seeing the orthodontist and Macio Facial specialist they agree that my crocked teeth and unaligned bite is caused by a larger tongue. According to them the teeth are supported by the soft tissue in the mouth. They fitted wires on the inside of the front teeth to prevent them from shifting anymore. They can't do anything to the alignment to improve my bite so that I can chew better. At the moment I can barely chew, my teeth feel as if they're wearing high heels and they don't know where there place is, where they should rest. But it's a small problem.
