Flipper Alternative
Question:
Swelling: How long does it take for the flipper to look natural to your face?

One method I utilize in my practice alot is a clear invisalign type retainer where the fake tooth is
inside the retainer. Here is an example of a flipper alternative
Patients state they can speak and function like before and most importantly, there isn't any force on the ridge or excessive friction on the gum tissues.
