View submission: Amazing how it can be life changing
Ill tell you it made a massive difference in my life. My dentist and the surgeon put real effort and work to make sure I got what I needed. I have 10 pins and top bottom plates. Snap in not permanents. They look real and function 90% as good as my originals. You're on the mark about being life changing.
I quite literally had to relearn smiling so I didn't look like a lunatic. For the first month or two I looked like a dog doing the smile thing. Lips all twisted up and stuck to my teeth. I think I had to rebuild the muscles used to smile. After like 6 months I could smile like a human and show my teeth.

I often worked on those kinds of dentures! I didn't even think about needing to relearn how to smile, but I bet that happens a lot. I'm so happy you got the help you needed!
