It is a partial made out of a flexible acrylic material.
A flexible partial denture is made from a flexible thermoplastic material that is more lightweight than the traditional acrylic/metal materials we use. They tend to be more comfortable and life-like than the traditional denture. They are more expensive and the jury is still out on how long they last, so there is the rub. We still recommend the traditional style at our office for now until we have more data.
