FAQ :
1. Can you or your client still receive routine teeth cleanings/whitening?
If your concerned about any routine checkups with your orthodontist, you or your client should do this 1 week before treatment.
You can still have teeth whitening done, but make sure you are careful using the mouth piece or tools needed to properly complete the treatment. If it's an at home teeth whitening kit, there should be no issues having this done, but make sure to clean properly before & after.
2. Do I need to be at least 18 to have this treatment?
Yes, I only apply tooth gems to individual 18-years old or older. Please be ready to present a valid ID at the time of your service!
3. Can I feel the gem on my tooth?
The jewels are only 0.4mm or 0.9mm thick and 1.8mm to 3mm in diameter. Initially, something on your tooth will feel different, but a few days after the application, you will get used to the new feeling.
4. Can I still receive tooth gems with fake teeth or vaneers?
Unfortunately, the bonding agent will only attach to natural tooth tissue.
5. Can I brush my teeth normally?
The presence of the tooth jewelry will not make any difference regarding dental hygiene. However, it is recommended not to use an electric toothbrush & wait 12-24.
6. What if I swallow the tooth gem in the event it falls off?
The jewels are tiny glass crystals or gold. They have no sharp edges. It will come out "the natural way" the same as it went inside your body.
7. Will the tooth gem harm my tooth?
When properly placed on a natural tooth, the jewelry will not damage or harm your tooth in any way.
8. Does the application hurt?
Not at all. The procedure is similar to placing an orthodontist bracket on a tooth. The procedure is painless.
9. What if I have Invisalign? Can I have this done?
No, invisalign would be placed on your tooth & would not fit with the gem on your teeth. Your straight teeth are more important!
10. What are the gems made of?
Teeth gems are typically made from 100% genuine Swarovski crystals. Make sure to use non toxic materials only if you don't use these crystals. For gold gems, normal K Gold plated materials are safe too. Only flat back crystals are acceptable.
