You are a little devil smile

Ya know if velcro was an option, I would do it. Thats desperation for you. LOL



Thanks for the info Mike. I am very willing to try just about anything. I need to have all my teeth removed and dentures, but cant even begin to do the molds if I cant open. So goes the viscious circle or running to specialist after specialist. Ive accepted the fact that this might be as good as it gets, and Im ok with that. Overall I feel pretty good, teeth look horrible and are all loose and crooked. Luckily I do have pretty good dental insurance which will cover most of these procedures if I am ever able to get them done. My oral surgeon even got me approved for implants, but several specialists have said my jaw isnt in good enough shape for that.

Anyway, I really appreciate your detailed response. I had given up trying to find help. If I had a dental emergency I would deal with it then since nobody was able to do anything anyway. You have now given me a renewed hope to keep searching for someone to work on my teeth. Thank you very very much!!!



See JT, there is some hope for us.
