While they often provide numerous benefits for a patient\u2019s smile, some people experience complications with their lower ones moving out of place. If this is something you\u2019re struggling with, there are certain things you can do to resolve the issue. Read on to learn why your lower denture might not stay in place and the steps you can take to ensure a more comfortable and stable smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Would Cause Dentures to Shift?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve noticed that your lower prosthetics aren\u2019t remaining in their proper position, or they simply aren\u2019t fitting correctly, it could be that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There is a misalignment between the denture border and your bite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The jawbone is starting to shrink (also known as \u201cbone resorption\u201d), which occurs if there aren\u2019t any tooth roots to stimulate the bone tissue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The denture base has become warped due to exposure to extreme heat or if it\u2019s too dry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There isn\u2019t enough saliva to help adhere the denture properly with suction, which can be a result of certain medications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Keep Your Lower Dentures in Place?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Denture adhesive is one of the most common ways to help keep your lower prosthetic in place. However, you might also need to consult your dentist about getting your tooth replacement relined or replaced. After a detailed evaluation, they can help determine the next best step to ensure that you won\u2019t have to encounter other difficulties with your dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re still experiencing trouble with your prosthetics shifting, you might consider investing in implant dentures. While this treatment does come with a higher upfront cost, it\u2019ll provide optimal stability and greater longevity. Not only will they stay in place permanently, but you\u2019ll also find eating and talking to be incredibly easy and natural-feeling. By combining dental implants with dentures, you can successfully rebuild your smile from the roots up, as the titanium posts will also prevent bone resorption in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to replacing missing pearly whites, you shouldn\u2019t have to worry about your new teeth moving around. Speak with your dentist if you\u2019re having issues with your lower denture, and they\u2019ll be happy to determine if implant dentures are a suitable option for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Les Latner has decades of experience providing exceptional dental care.
