[QUOTE="2thm8kr, post: 109433, member: 1367"] I'm not a removable guru, but do a fair amount of full arch fixed work changing length of upper interiors. I have the patient count from 60-70 slowly and at their regular cadence. I watch how their lower lip touches the incisal edge and listen for any lisping. Also try and detect if any air is escaping under any pontics. I also ask the patient if everything feels 'normal' or it they are laboring to speak. I'll also add that I check their profile and lip closure path. I have found if the teeth are not way to long it only takes very minor adjustments to the length to eliminate a lisp. Fortunately its a lot easier to do with acrylic temps then adjusting a denture wax up. [/QUOTE]
