Hey Alex!
How are you getting along with the flipper, other than the adjustments?
Yes, it is common to see the dentist several times in the first few weeks/months of wearing a flipper. It needs to fit properly and be at least somewhat comfortable. Surprisingly......... some people have little to no problems with it and then others...... can't wait to get rid of it!
There is no way to know ahead of time which side of the fence a patient will be on. We always hope that the patient will have a positive experience.
Good to see hear from you!

People have to go back every few weeks to have it adjusted as the site heals? I thought you just got it adjusted when you first started wearing it and that is why I thought it was weird that my flipper kept feeling uncomfortable. So your reply made me feel better about having to keep calling the dentist.  |
