Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice. I just had a chrome partial denture fitted and I'm giving it a try out. The denture fills gaps on either side of my upper teeth, just behind my canines and has a thin metal bar across the roof of my mouth.
When I put it in it seems to be quite comfortable, however the metal bar does not sit against the roof of my mouth meaning that the denture is wholly supported by the clips on my upper molars. There seems to be a 1 mm (at most) gap. I was expecting more support from the bar against my palette. Does anyone have any experience with this type of denture who could tell me if this is the way they are meant to fit.
Regards
David
