The overdenture is attached to the teeth with so-called anchor arms. These are metal anchors which clamp around the teeth or support them. In many cases, the anchor arms are partly visible. The advantage of a frame prosthesis is that it fixes better, which makes chewing a lot easier. You also experience less irritation as a frame prosthesis does not consist of a plate against your mouth palate. A frame prosthesis is more expensive than a plate prosthesis, and, unfortunately, you cannot place an extra tooth or molar.
