Question about braces and false teeth on a retainer?

I%26#039;m getting my braces off in two weeks. I%26#039;m missing about 8 adult teeth (my wisdom teeth and 4 others...) and my top retainer will have 2 teeth on it (i%26#039;m missing both of my canines). My question is, is it hard to eat with the false teeth? has anyone had them or had the same problem as me? My ortho. really hasnt said much about it when i asked him.





Any advice from any of you people that have had the same problem? I hope I made sense...

Question about braces and false teeth on a retainer?
My friend has false teeth and she eats just fine. Maybe its cause she is used to it but dont worry. I am sure you will be able to eat. Good luck!
Reply:I have complete dentures. I do not wear adhesive as they fit properly. I can eat corn on the cob now.





My own teeth were all in such bad shape they had to be pulled. Before I got dentures I could not eat many foods and now I can eat almost everything except some caramel that gets stuck.
Reply:My BF has false teeth and he has no problem with eating just has to glue them in every 3 days. My dad has a false tooth and he does not have any problem at all. You should not have any problem.
