Things were supposed to be better, not worse.
First photo is immediately after extractions, June 30th.
Photos 2,3,4 are of this morning.
My immediate uppers were so big in my mouth they fell completely down and out starting the day after surgery. The only way I was able to keep them in was shoving gauze into my mouth.
On July 2nd I went in and my denturist put a soft reline on my tops, which made them go from bad to worse. They are SO bulky and big they gag me, choke me & hurt like f***ing all hell.
Photo 2 shows my lips at rest, I cannot close my mouth at all with them in.
Photo 3 shows what it looks like at an attempt to smile.
Photo 4 shows the huge gap and overbite between my tops and partial bottoms, along with the thickness and gumminess of them.
I’m feeling really f***ing defeated here.. I was expecting it to be hard, but I wasn’t expecting this. I see so many new denture wearers with amazing/natural looking immediates and I envy it I truly do.
I did tons of research before choosing a denturist, the office I’ve gone to has had nothing but great reviews, so why do I feel so unheard and unseen? The denturist told me there was nothing he could do until my next follow up appointment in 2 weeks. I’m not wearing the tops for all of the stated reasons.. this sucks. 😭
