Shelley,
I am going through bone grafts and implants for 2 teeth in the front (7 & 10). I have had the flipper they gave me for a few weeks now and have been experiencing discomfort in my jaw (never had this before). Mentioned it to the dentist and said he hadn't heard of this being related to a flipper. He suggested not wearing it as much and that was that. Had your dentist experienced other patients with this problem? Wondering what to do for the rest of the treatment (through Dec/Jan). Considering an Essix retainer with pontics.

Thinking of having another one made though just with 2 teeth as opposed to three as It always felt two big for my mouth. We are actually only going to do the implants with two teeth instead of the three as my mought is very small.
