Clicking or clacking noise when talking occurs when the vertical bite height is set too high or when loose lower/upper dentures clash against each other.
Understanding the biological and prosthetic reasons behind your symptoms
Why addressing this problem promptly prevents long-term complications
Step-by-step solutions provided by our Clinical Dental Technicians
Re-setting bite height to restore 2–3mm of natural 'closest speaking space'.
Tightening upper and lower plate fit to prevent shifting.
Re-placing noisy porcelain or hard plastic teeth with noise-dampening composite teeth.
Schedule a free consultation at Denturaa. We will measure your speaking space, correct excessive bite height, and quieten your dentures completely.
Speech changes like whistling 'S' sounds or lisping 'TH/F' sounds happen when palatal rugae contours are flat or anterior teeth placement narrows the phonetic airflow space.
Denture anxiety stems from fear of plates slipping, clicking, or looking artificial, leading to social isolation and loss of life quality.
Saliva is essential for denture suction and friction protection. Excessive saliva is a temporary reaction to new plates, while dry mouth severely breaks suction and causes painful chafing.
