Hi everyone
I wonder if anyone can tell me if there is life with an obturator?
Six months ago I had surgery to remove a growth in my sinus.
I have had half my top jaw removed, all top teeth (Save one) along with 75% of the roof of my mouth. I wear an obturator, which is being fairly regularly assesed/modified by the restorative dentist but it is all done using guesswork - He looks into my mouth, adds some naterial to lift/seal it where he thinks it should be - I struggle to explain myself to him properly.
I know the obturator doesn't fit right but trying to explain this is so difficult/frustrating.
I have gone backwards with regards the obturator - I am on my 4th one now and each and everytime the fitting gets worse, yet he says it's made from the mould taken from my mouth and yes, on paper it should fit BUT it doesn't! I am now on PEG feeding as I just can't eat without it coming out my nose and dribbling down my chin!

I just wonder if it will ever come together - Depressed doesn't even come near to how I feel

Thank you to anyone
