Quick example: I used a light-body VPS wash with about 1 mm selective relief around the incisive papilla, verified with PIP, and the patient reported a stable, burn-free fit after 48 hours… For shallow palates, how are you balancing border extension for a dependable seal while keeping the frenum and midline tissues comfortable — any small adjustments that consistently prevent sore spots?
I go 1 mm short at frena, then shallow PPS; ‘mark the vibrating line twice’; tiny vent if fibrous raphe.
Agree on ‘24–48 hours’; I add 5% potassium nitrate toothpaste nightly — fewer zingers. @OP?
It’s tough balancing that border extension without sacrificing comfort, right? I’ve had success using a thin layer of light-body material expanded into the frenum area — just enough to not irritate but still maintain a proper seal. Sometimes those tiny adjustments make all the difference, especially with shallow palates. @h_jones99, have you tried modifying your relief at the midline? It might help with preventing hotspots.
