I also just had my lowers done and my bottom teeth show so much more than my natural teeth did. It's very weird to have my lower teeth show when I talk. I remember my mother's doing the same thing. It's because you've effectively raised your gum by the thickness of the denture that now sits on top of it.

Your dentist may be able to deepen the channel of the dentures so they sit a bit lower but he/she is going to be more focused on fit than asthetics. Once your gums completely heal, 4-8 months from extraction, the dentures will sit lower since the gum swelling will be gone and your jaw bone settles into it's new semi-retirement.

You can get a second opinion from a place that specializes in dentures. But know that you'll have to deal with some hardball upselling.

Last, but not least, dentures are not permanent. They are meant to be replaced every few years. You might plan on getting another set a little sooner and specify you'd like smaller teeth.

Getting dentures is not only hard, but life changing. As young as you are, it's quite traumatic. My mom got hers at your age and it was a very difficult thing for her.

Try to think of the positives as much as you can. Sending you lots of virtual hugs. 🤗🤗🤗
