does it work on lower dentures?

I have upper dentures, if it works half as good on lowers as it does the uppers, you won't have anything to worry about. Secure works 'much better' than anything else that I have bought. Get it, you will be glad you did.

I have a full upper and lower and have been using Secure for about 2 weeks. The upper stays secure (even through eating and drinking) for the 12 hours the company claims. Stability in the lower I think depends on what percentage of bone you have left. I don't have a lot and the denture starts detaching after roughly 4-5 hours after applying Secure. I don't fault the product for that. :) That being said, I've decided this is really the best adhesive on the market for lower dentures. Even if I have to reapply the adhesive for the lower a couple of times a day, I have found I can eat pretty much anything I want if I reapply an hour before eating dinner. I think people with more bone in the lower ridge will have better success. One other thing - a little of this product goes a long way...there's a definite art to applying just the right amount of adhesive for maximum hold...too little and the adhesive gives out, too much and the adhesive gives out AND you end up with a mouth full of goop. I would suggest you do what I did - order a tube and experiment. Unless I'm alerted to a new and better product down the road, this is what I'll be using going forward.

don't know I only have upper Phillis sorry, but it holds well so I can see why it wouldn't

Not for me. I've found that nothing much works for lowers except Cushion Grip or a reline. Secure is supposed to be 'water proof' but, as it turns out, it's not saliva proof. It will last maybe a hour more than the others, but it doesn't last. From one to ten, I'd have to give it a three.

Everyone is different, mine held great on top, but I don't thinks there is anything on this earth that will hold the bottom. This stuff is no different than any other denture cream just more expensive...imo

I've never used it for dentures but I use it for my retainer I got after having braces. It definitely cleans it though! It always smells clean after using it.

It works better than any denture adhesive I've ever used, I would imagine it depends on the fit of the cap. Hope this is helpful.

I'm not an expert but I'm sure it doesn't because dentures are made one colour and I don't think they'd change it. Whereas in teeth they effectively bleach the teeth to make them whiter. Don't know for definite though

yes, it will. Just know that it will 'snap' into place for that tooth in the place where the tooth is missing after you put in the denture. Sculpt the homemade tooth on the sides/edges so it blends in with the other teeth on the appliance.

Yes. I tried on the lower denture. I'm new at this so my swelling is going down daily. It helps in that it is soft and so any bone fragments from the extractions are more comfortable and I can now keep them in without being in constant pain but as far as holding them in. No that doesn't happen.

Yes, I believe it will, you may have to remove your dentures when using it.

My husband says yes - he's never switched from his temporary to permanent dentures, just uses these and has had his temporary ones for over 10 years.

The company says do not attach to dentures. Place inside cheek. However, they should work fine at night, if you remove your dentures.Check out www.OraMoist.com.

Absolutely! I place mine face down in opposite directions. Also, I use the SonicBrite cleaner along with a Polident 3 minute pellet, turn it on at night, then again in the morning for a few minutes just to shake it up a little. Maybe this is overkill, but it melts off all the adhesive on my dentures and no more white residue that I used to see on them. The first set of batteries lasted 2 months. Best 40 bucks I spent in a very long time!

Well, interestingly enough I am a dentist(33 years). I found that one can place Benecol in mouth and soften with your saliva till it almost melted away. I would suggest that for a denture patient. Hope this helps.

I think this thing was rubbish. It didn't really do much of anything, so yeah it should be safe for flexible dentures.

I'm guessing you have a unique mouth or bite, so not certain if this will work or not. One benefit of the DenTek is the adjustability. I'm able to adjust it to were it's comfy to where it's holding my mouth too far open. While too far open isn't the most comfy, it might work to prevent your front teeth from grinding.

HeyI used a rigid pointed tip nail file. Soaked the dentures in warm water. I used vary little because I just wanted a better feel along with my adhesive.It is a trial and error thing but I found I can do better than dentist. Hope it works out, be patient!

It seems to work by adjusting the jaw forward, so it might slightly pull the skin to minimize the appearance of looseness, but i doubt that it will actually strengthen the skin tissue.

Yes. It keeps your upper and lower teeth apart which prevents grinding of the teeth and gives better sleep.
