Robust Flexible False Teeth
A flexible denture also known as Flexible false teeth or Valplast denture, is made of softer materials, such as nylon, or other thin thermoplastics. This makes them easier to bend and flexible. Since flexible dentures are meant to be thinner and lighter in weight, they normally cannot be full flexible dentures. That’s why we usually call them flexible partials.
With its flexible specialty, flexible partial dentures can have flexible clasps for retetntion, which makes them look and function like your natural teeth. Therefore, they are very popular among old and young patients. Actually, many yong patients use them for their temporary teeth after having placed implants.
