Can I eat with an Essix Appliance?

mmclark
Having my two front teeth removed due to resorption and having a bone graft done, then fitted with an essix appliance for a few months while I heal. Can I eat with the appliance or do I need to take it out. After I heal, I am having two implants done. Will I need another essix appliance or do I get a flipper at some point?
