 I have had this problem before but not to this extreme and it has always been the top not the bottom. my bottom is a partial and my gums are hurting to bad to eat. when my tops do it I can take them out for 24 hrs and be fine again. any tips that help. they wiggle when I eat and I don't know if you can line partials like I can my top plate?

I don't think they can line a partial but they can adjust them. maybe it got bent or something. do you have any loose teeth on the bottom that can cause a wiggle.

They probably need adjusting ..do you know if the gums are hurting or the remaining teeth hurt??if its the gums ,rinse out with hot salt water ,as hot as you can stand it,that will relieve the gums .. It sounds like the partial needs an adjustment though ...

 Sounds like you need to make a dental visit. Do you have a good bottom ridge?

well i hope you can save some bottom teeth, because  a lower denture is not easy...
