Has anyone read this yet? I finished it a couple days ago.

It really moved me, I haven’t cried while reading a book in awhile before this. It was really sad and distressing but also creative as hell. It disturbed me in so many ways…the journal chapters made me feel so much panic. I also loved the very last chapter and the way it was written.

The main character’s OCD was so realistic that it triggered my own a bit though lol. Just a novel I won’t forget anytime soon…I’ll definitely read whatever else that author writes.

So I got my first hard reline yesterday. The material used for it really burned/irritated my gums at the time. It also was pretty uncomfortable to remove them after it cured. Afterward, both the top and the bottom seemed to fit pretty well, felt ok. By the time I got home, my gums felt like they were throbbing a little bit, but it was OK. I still left my top one in… eventually took it out for bed, went to bed.

Today, looking at my gums, they look a little bit red to me. And they still feel a bit sore even without my dentures in. When I put my top denture in it immediately started hurting, especially when I tried to chew.

I’m going to call my dentist, but I just wanted some opinions… its having tenderness normal after a hard reline? Should I give it a day or two to see if these actually fit well or not? Even yesterday, the dental assistant said he couldn’t thin it out much more because it would affect the suction, so I don’t know.

I just wish they would’ve left it alone completely.

I feel like all of my deliveries used to have a 4 hour timeframe once out for delivery but not anymore. Am I imagining that lol

I’m almost 7 weeks into healing after e day. All of a sudden (literally, like right now lol) my top piece feels really strange to me. It’s has fit well since e day with pretty good suction, even better with adhesive nowadays.

Right now it feels strange, loose. All of a sudden the palate feels huge? Too far back? Idk. There is a soft liner on there that was added like 3-4 weeks in, and I go in for a hard reline in a few weeks.

Is this normal? It sucks lol

I’ll be at 4 weeks post E day tomorrow. I have had one soft reline that is still on my immediates.

Can this product be used while soft reline material is on my dentures already?

Should it be used at all this early on? Should I wait?

I got this done for the first time yesterday. They do feel much more comfy and seem to fit better.

I did call to ask these questions but haven’t gotten a response yet so just looking for insight from yall.

I know to keep them in for 24 hours to let them cure. It’s been about 15 hours since I went…the soft reline still seems pretty soft lol is that normal? He said to just soak the teeth part and not the reline part…how long until I can soak the whole thing?

When can I use a tablet to clean or just soap?? How do I clean these with the liner I’m so confused lol.

Also while they are comfortable now they just don’t feel the same to me, not sure if I’m just OCD (literally, I am lol…) but it almost feels gross to me in my mouth, not as slick and “clean” feeling somehow. Maybe it’s because the gross reline taste is still there?

When will this feel more normal again?
