Aid getting a deeper latch. Shallow latch is making me sore!

At the hospital, the nurses showed me how to go him to latch more deeply past pulling the chin downward either while he was already latched or earlier he latched on. He did well for a couple of days and then has reverted back to a shallow latch without me actually understanding why I was getting more and more sore. He is nine days one-time now and it is very painful to nurse. I got him to latch better yesterday t

He likes to suck on only the tip of the nipple and use a lot of teeth! It's making me want to surrender on breastfeeding. I try to get him to open up broad and take a bigger mouthful just so far no luck. If I try to strength more
