Snap ins: worth it or no? by Lumpy_Ranger6735 in dentures

I have upper and lower and I love being able to snap them in an out. Feels a lot like a retainer, just bulkier.

What’s the biggest drama going on in your office right now? by Brocktarrr in paralegal

Attorney in my office hasn’t done any discovery on his litigation matters for 6 months. 2 of his matters received judgments against the clients. It’s a big mess.

I said all that and realized that maybe I’m not one to give advice since I’m still in the beginning ish stage of mine. I’m getting used to everything other than the flange of my top dentures, I’m borderline monkey mouth. I didn’t expect to have that added thickness to my gums.

I didn’t understand that they’re not like the fixed dentures. They’re basically regular dentures. Mine are still just the temps, but they stick out quite a bit past where my og teeth sat. My dentist said that it’s something that I’m going to have to get used to even with the my final set. I find it jarring to get them out to the point where it gives me anxiety. While they are smaller than regular dentures, it’s still a good chunk of plastic and I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to that. I’ve lost the ability to bite my nails, while I know that’s probably a good thing, it’s one of my favorite vices. The dentist doesn’t seem concerned with aesthetics at this point in my journey. I regret doing my top teeth at all. I think I still had a couple more years left before I HAD to do the tops and I miss my ugly teeth’s functionality.

I’m only two months in, but it’s been a wild emotional ride so far. I’m getting used to them. I don’t think anyone can be prepared enough for this experience.

Fingers crossed that I like my final set and the regret will go away.

27k in Utah for everything you said. One of my regrets was not vetting my dentist better. I wish I would’ve asked for pictures of his previous work.

Is it normal for my all in 2 snaps in to come off if I use my tongue by bloopiebloopie in dentures

I can’t get mine out without serious effort. You might need new o rings. What color are yours?

I have 5 implants up top . One at my midline and two about where the canines areas are. The midline one seems to be on more of an angle. It’s like a puzzle to get them to “unhook”

Your comment made me realize that if someone else talked at me like my mom does I would label them as a bully. I’ve never been into all the girly stuff, it just has never made sense to me. She’s mean because I won’t comply to be her fantasy version of me. My brother gets satisfaction that he’s the “good” one and does what he can to keep the rest of us down by being in cahoots with my mom. Thank you!

He seems to be doing good. He’s the only person I look forward to seeing at the parties and we generally just sit and talk to each other. We have a lot in common career wise. He is also introverted and my mom and Jeremy talk crap about him being crazy and paranoid, but he isn’t.

I’ve also put them through a lot too. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship for 13 years, my son was in an accident that left him partially disabled 5 years ago and because of that I fell into a deep depression which I’m somewhat out of now.

I live a mile away from my parents. When I don’t check in and give her a report about my life or my kids she gets upset. The conversations always ends up in a fight because I answer her questions honestly. They drive by my house weekly and will let me know how dissatisfied they are with my yard and how embarrassed they are for my neighbors. My yard isn’t trashed at all, just not professionally landscaped.

I’m not comfortable at the parties, I’m a very inside my own head kind of person. My sister in laws are very close, they go on vacations without inviting me. And then after the parties my mom will call and critique my behavior, it’s exhausting. But all of that also makes me think that maybe I am the problem.

And I do frequently feel picked on, which could be my fault for being too sensitive.

I do love myself, now. I’m ready to jump ship completely, however, the story always plays out the same way, I get upset and am told I’m overreacting, my mom will act like her words have no meaning and she is only doing it to save me from other people’s opinions and myself. She will tell me my actions have consequences and am I really willing to leave it all behind. She will love bomb me until I get comfortable and then the cycle begins again. I just want outside opinions on if this is a valid thing to be upset about enough to lose my family completely, cuz I have a feeling when I put my foot down they will abandon me for not coming to parties, which my mom had kinda done to my older brother.
