Of course you would know if your bite is of; it sounds like you need further adjustments made to your permanent teeth (molars I assume). If you are having headaches you are probably grinding your teeth at night (do you leave your partials in?). If you are, I would not wear them to bed just in case your are grinding. There are a few adjustments your denturist can accomplish to make everything comfortable. You paid for them, you had better make sure they are right.
