My bf got used that I lisp badly and can't speak properly, sometimes I even write instead of talking. He even thinks it's cute. But some people get annoyed of this...

Your lisp is for a good reason, you have no teeth. It's not put om so you can sound cute. I think that it just adds to your charm.

@Corsair I don't think it's cute, especially when I'm trying to say something important and it's impossible to understand a word in my toothless babbling. More and more often I prefer to write my words. And my mouth get more and more sunken, and my chin is protruding like witch's now, which is also not too cute.

@OlgaAlexeenko Maybe you should try wearing your dentures, if being toothless has caused you so much difficulty in your life. I know that it feels good to leave them out, but you must ask yourself whether that pleasant feeling is coming at too high a price. You wouldn't have to wear them all of the time, but only when it's important for you to talk and be understood. The sunken mouth is part of being toothless, and some people find it to be attractive. From your pictures, I think that you are very attractive. If you are upset by that look, maybe you should try to get used to having your dentures in.

@Corsair My current dentures don't fit. But I'm still not sure whether I should need a new ones... I think next time when I'll visit my dentist to check my gums I will consult with him. It will be in October, maybe I'll make up my mind till then

@OlgaAlexeenko it can be a challenge to get used to new dentures, even if they fit well. You are not used to the feeling of having the foreign objects in your mouth. You will also have to learn how to speak all over again, because dentures will affect the way that you form sounds and words, just as it was when you learned to talk without any teeth. However, if you think that your life would be better if you wore dentures, go ahead and try it. The great thing is that you can take them out when you want to. If you get them keep me posted, so that I might be able to give you some hints about getting used to them. I have had mine for many years and wear them most of the time, but I still enjoy having them out and going gummy. I always sleep with them out and like to take "gummy breaks" during the day. best wishes to you, whatever you decide to do.

@Corsair I think the problem is that I will have to relearn to speak using dentures. But since even having dentures I'll be toothless most of my time it can ruin my ability to speak without dentures. For now I'm learning to speak every day, so maybe it doesn't get better but doesn't degrade to far. And getting dentures and relearning to speak with them can break it. Again since I almost will not wear them they will stop fit very fast...
Sometimes I think that getting dentures can improve my life in some way, but... it's me, real me. I lisp badly, but it's me, and all my friends, colleagues and relatives know it. My mouth is sunken, but it's my appearance, it's kind of witch-like, but it's me. The times when I smiled with a white-toothed smile and spoke clearly are over. Now it's different me, but real me. So most time I think that I should put up with being gummy and live a toothless life without any doubts. All people that love me will love me anyway, gummy or with teeth. I lost my teeth at such a young age, that my toothless life will long years and years, and having teeth was just like a short start, that's what I think.

@OlgaAlexeenko I can imagine how in 40 years a bald toothless old woman will tell her grandchildren that she already lives without teeth twice as much as she lived with teeth. And they won't understand what she is saying.
And only old friends who have known me for half a century will say that Olga once had a beautiful white-toothed smile and she spoke clearly. But one day, unexpectedly, we saw her with an empty mouth, and from this began her long toothless life.

@OlgaAlexeenko If you decide to be toothless, you have accepted yourself as you are. That's wonderful. We should all be able to do that. Whether it's a physical characteristic or a behavioral characteristic, we are who we are. Based on the pictures you have posted, you are beautiful without teeth. If someone doesn't like that, it's all on them. You like being gummy, and most other people haven't had that experience to realize that it can be very pleasant, and not something to pity you for or to scorn you. You can change your baldness easily, but getting used to wearing dentures and hating it can be a very unpleasant experience. I know of many people who have dentures and can't stand them, even for eating, and go without them, because it feels so much better. They have accepted, and even enjoy, being toothless and not caring what others think about seeing them with no teeth. If that's what you decide to do,even at your age, go for it! I admire you and am happy to have you as a friend!
