@pamelaaci the fitting just involved getting impressions then they will wire it in during removal of cancer tumor. Then, as the swelling goes down, they make a more permanent one and it will involve adjustments. These are very expensive and my dentist doesn’t file medical so I had to pay and will hopefully be reimbursed by my insurance company for some of it. Does he use straws? How long was his recovery post surgery if you don’t mind sharing? How are you ?
