Dental Flipper Question

Hey,

You are not alone. Lisping/ whistling are typical speech inconveniences most people report on having fitted a partial denture/ flipper recently. Sorry but you are just going to have to wait this one out until your tongue adapts itself to the new position of your replaced tooth. I'd give it about a couple of weeks.

That said, I'm hoping your dentist conducted adequate speech exercises (like saying 'mississippi') during your denture trial sessions. If not, you might want to go back and check with your dentist on how best to resolve it. By awful, if you mean bulky, you could try getting the denture trimmed down to a point where it feels okay. Six months is a very short time and I'm sure you will breeze through it. Good luck!
