The flipper for my front tooth starts out fitting perfectly in the morning. By about two in the afrernoon it is loose, and moves around. The tooth itself actually moves up and down a little when I talk, because the palate plate is loose enough that it hangs down a bit, so it goes up and down, if that makes sense. There is a large gap between my palate and the flipper by afternoon.
Apparently my molars are shifting during the day. I know when I put my nightguard in at night, it fits super tight on the back molars.
Is there any way to fix this? Or do I just have to live with it? It makes me super self conscious when it is loose. I know the flipper tooth has to have a space between the tooth and gum, because of the bone graft and implant, so that can't fit snug. It is affecting my speech when it is loose. By dinner time, it is loose enough that I can move it around just by touching it with my tongue.
Maybe this is all normal, and I just have to deal?
