Generally you should wear your dentures for at least 8 hours a day. This will give your gums and jawbone time to get used to the dentures and prevent sore spots from developing. It is best to take them out at night so that your gums can rest. You should also remove them for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing.

Sleeping in dentures can negatively affect saliva flow, blocking the saliva's path, which can give rise to a condition called denture stomatitis.

A denture reline will help a denture work without adhesive so long as it matches the gums. How long a reline works depends on how fast or slow your bone changes. Whatever period of time passed between getting your denture and having it start needing adhesive is probably how long a denture reline will work as well.
It may take some time to adjust to your new dentures, so a little irritation is perfectly normal.

Fortunately it's something you can easily fix with the help of your dentist.
