Now she feels too self-conscious to even eat out or have friends see her eat.
This doesn't make sense at all to me. I know lots of people who have a partial and certainly do not take them out to eat. They might have to be careful but they don't take them out.

They can't eat an apple without cutting it in slices and/or they cut the corn off of the cob and things like that. But that's no biggy.
