Find the mid-line?

Say what? If you don't know all them dental terms and you tell the dentist that your dentures are off....you don't want to hear find the mid-line....you want to know what to do...in plain old everyday English!

I fussed that my teeth felt uneven, especially after the gums tightened up and shrunk...I was told 'look for the mid line' and line them up. Ya ok. Well after eating, I clean my teeth and put them back in if it isn't bedtime. Well today, after a very good pb and j...I had to take more time cleaning them...and that's when I seen it....they ARE uneven...or specifically...off center. But knowing that, I can adjust the way I put them in. Tried it...even with the "midline" method....lining them up the way they fit in mouth works a lot better than mid-line placement at the freenum thing. It took a little practice without the adhesive, but now I can do it without thinking about it.
