Hi,
I had two Valplast partials (upper and lower) placed Wednesday. I went back Thursday for an adjustment as the gum line was way to long on the top one (at the time I didn't notice an area on the lower one that was the same). In comparison to my previous partial, the gum line was 1/4 inch longer on the upper and now I find on the lower.
My husband has a dremmel and says he can cut it down for me as the dentist does not reopen until Tuesday if next week and I need to wear it! It is so painful when I have it in as it is currently. Has anybody adjusted Valpalst partials themselves at home? If so, do you have any tips on what accessory to buy or what dremmel tool to use?
Also, I have heard if you put Valplast in hot water and put in back in your mouth, it will help as well on reforming the way it needs to. Has anyone tried this with success? I'm thinking that probably wouldn't help on the length of the gum line though?!
Thanks for any feedback and input!
