I have trouble chewing with my complete dentures. What should I do?

One possible reason is that the occlusal surface morphology of the denture is not ideal, and the contact area between the upper and lower teeth is too small, resulting in reduced chewing efficiency due to the reduction of the chewing area; a second possible reason is that the height of the upper and lower teeth restored by the denture is too small, exceeding the optimal range of action of the masticatory muscle group, resulting in low chewing efficiency. If the above two situations cause chewing weakness, the denture should be remade.
