Why can lower Full Dentures be looser than Uppers?

0

With uppers dentures you get suction between the denture and the palate which has a comparatively large surface area. Contrastingly the lower dentures sit on thinner ridges which do not get the same suction as the palate. Also the tongue is around the lower denture and it has a strong muscle which can move the lower denture.
