I Am Toothless

I'm 23 years old and I'm gummy since summer 2017... All the time since my full extractions I've been experienced a great troubles with getting used to my dentures. I stopped to wear them at home and used only for going to work or so, and of course for eating. And since last year's end my dentures stopped to fit and I couldn't receive a new ones in time. So for 7 month I'm completely toothless...
I feel very good without my dentures except for troubles with eating and speaking, but anyway I'm seriously considering to live on toothless...
As for my diction, my boyfriend likes my appearance and the way I lisp and babble with my toothless mouth, but my colleagues sometimes cannot understand what I'm trying to say.
I experience some problems with eating, it's hard to chew with my gums, so now I'm eating only soft or blended food...
Also I noticed that my look is changing seriously: my mouth is becoming sunken more and more, lips are thinner and my chin becomes sharper. I don't know whether it get worse with time if I stop wearing dentures completely.
Actually I feel much better toothless but I'm not sure if it's ok not to use dentures at all.

If you like being toothless, you should do it. It's especially true if your boyfriend likes you that way, and you are being toothless because you want to be, and not just because he wants you to be. You must be in control of your life. As long as you are aware of the possible consequences of going without dentures, just do it. You may also want to get dentures which fit and see whether you like to wear them. You can always take them out when you want to. That's one of the great things about having dentures, you can choose whether you want to wear them.
