Weight loss affects the jawbone structure and supporting tissue. Changes in occlusion and facial profile disrupt the fit of the bridge. Replacement with new impressions and occlusal analysis is necessary. Temporary adjustments with composite offer short-term solutions. Digital facial scans predict the modifications required for harmony. The cost of a revision amounts to 50-70% of the original bridge price. Preventive advice: stabilise your weight before definitive placement.
