Hi
I had a question on how long should my Mom wait to have her partial evaluated from her dentist. She had completed her treatment at the end of August and the partial still does not fit. It seems to fit too small for her now. Will her mouth continue to change from the effects of the IMRT or should she assume it is time to go get another impression and refitted for a new partial? She feel that by not having the partial in it inhibits her ability to eat. She is currently able to open her mouth at about 60% of the range that it was originally. Is there any type of exercise that can be done to increase this?
Thanks
Tami
