The personalities of patients in this situation can be seriously effected by what they consider is a hopeless s tate of their oral health. They feel that they cannot chew food properly, their mouths are uncomfortable and traumatized, the mandible can never seem to find a firmly defined terminal position and th ey believe that their physical appearance is marred beyond hope of remedy.
