My problem with anything like that is can't bite them comfortably, with the bottom denture not having the normal ridge to grab on to

The alveolar process (/æl'vi??l?r, ?ælvi'o?l?r, 'ælvi?l?r/)[1] or alveolar bone is
the thickened ridge of bone that contains the tooth sockets on the jaw bones...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_process

That process went lacking, so had recessive gums and long, thin teeth. Three sisters and i all had braces.

At age 15 a dentist told me i wouldn't have a tooth left by 21. Still have three, upper left.

Have told people for years the skeleton from neck up took a holiday when developing.

I'd love to be able to take more than two good bites of a hoagie without
having to put glue on the bottom denture. Love eating so it really sucks.

lolol .. "Hoagies are very good." ... oh well... it's just not the same eating it off a plate... ;-)
