It’s not 100% like my real teeth, but honestly, the gap bugged me way more.
That’s exactly how I felt. I remember the first few weeks, my tongue kept poking at it and it was just... weird. Did you ever get that? I still notice mine if I’m eating popcorn or something crunchy—like, the pressure feels a bit different. But honestly, having that empty space was way worse for me too. Did your dentist say anything about long-term changes? Sometimes I wonder if it’ll ever fully blend in, or if this is just as “normal” as it gets.

That tongue thing is so real—my kid did the same, kept asking if it’d ever stop feeling “off.” Dentist told us it takes time, but honestly, she barely notices now unless she’s chewing something like caramel (which, let’s be honest, is probably a bad idea anyway). I think “normal” just kind of shifts after a while.
Totally get what you mean about “normal” shifting. When I got my bridge, it felt huge and awkward for weeks—like my tongue had to relearn its job. Now, unless I’m eating popcorn or something sticky, I barely think about it. It’s wild how adaptable we are.
