For any of you out there with an obturator...what does your permanent one look like? The one I have is all plastic (pink) with wires. My new prosthodontist -- I switched because I didn't like my old one at all -- has told me that the one I have is NOT considered permanent because it's not metal. Did my old prosthodontist not give me a "real" permanent one??? I'm very confused...
