Denture Wax Try-ins

It is so important to make sure you are happy with the wax try-ins for your dentures. This is YOUR TIME TO SPEAK UP! Changes to the teeth arrangement cannot be made once it is processed. #denturist #dentures #dentalprosthesis #completedenture #denturelife #expert #immediatedentures #dental #denturereline #dentistry

Just wow! I knew it was going to be a disaster. The immediates were awful. The second set of immediates was better but still not right. Yes, swelling. Ok, we're past that and are now at the wax try in for permanent ones. Good grief, the wax monstrosity was 10 sizes too big but, by golly, they were going to yank and shove and get out a hammer if need be to get them in my mouth. The top was gaping too much forward I could put a puppy in there. Ok, slight exaggeration. But couldn't close my lips over the top and the dentist had to pull them down each time but somehow that was my fault. The top was falling out before the bottom could be shoved in and the reverse. The bottoms were poking my cheeks out and felt like they were angled outwards even though sitting in my hand I couldn't see the outward angle so probably back to them being too big. The office only has 4 trays/molds --- why only 4? Shoes come in different sizes so why not have more mold sizes???. There were vampire teeth! The midline, as the video said, was off center one direction so they heated the wax and over corrected it the other direction. Again, there was no bite and just like the immediates only touched in one spot even after being worked on. They gave me every excuse in the world and somehow it was my fault. What part of the dentures do NOT come close to fitting anywhere do they not understand? I'm to go back for a third fitting but still have no confidence in this. Sorry for the rant.

THANK YOU ! I'm one appointment away from wax try in and I couldn't have found a better video. All of your videos have been so helpful. 🤍

[@ShowYourTeeth8000]

Glad I could help!

Thanks

Thanks. I'm doing mine this week. Knowing from the 2 sets they've done, this is going to be just as bad, Neither has come anywhere close to fitting so basically have done without all these months. Not at all happy.

I’m sorry it’s going so rough for you. Be picky though. Don’t give in to what you’re not yet happy with🙂

How do you move them? Does the material have to be heated up and the teeth moved or how does that work when my dentures are hard?

[@ShowYourTeeth8000]

The teeth are set in wax when doing a wax try-in. The wax can me melted and the teeth can be moved. If the denture is finalized and processed then the teeth cannot be moved
