Did you know that Upper dentures that have a slick finish to the front half of the tongue side or roof of a denture can contribute to speech issues such as whistling when you speak?
If you rub the tip of your tongue gently over the roof of you mouth behind the upper teeth you will feel an uneven surface...If you saw a copy of that surface in plaster you would see that their are wavy ridges that extend from side to side of the roof and as far back as the first Molar tooth....Those wavy ridges break up the flow of air when you speak and help prevent a whistling sound.
Upper dentures that truly duplicae the natural surfaces of the gums will duplicate both the ridge of the gums as well as the wavy ridges on the outside of the denture roof.
This partial vacuum is activated only when horizontal or tipping forces are directed against the denture base. dental extraction
