Over ten years ago I uploaded a video called, "Missing Tooth Replacement" after I broke one of my front teeth. Here's the link if you want to see it: https://youtu.be/8wIpWdzlNRU.
This time my bridge, which I had for about 35 years came out. When I went to see my dentist, I was hoping all he had to do was adhesive it back in. But no, there was a problem. I could get a root canal or an extraction, plus I would have to have a new bridge made.
So, in the meantime, I wanted to see what some of of options were in temporary teeth replacement.
After quite a bit of research, I decided to give Imako Cosmetic Teeth a try. I ordered a set but didn't follow the instructions on selecting the size. I ordered large, but had I followed the instructions, a small size was what I needed.
When I went through the process of preparing and fitting the teeth, they didn't work for me. They felt very uncomfortable probably because they were too large for me. It was my own fault, but I wanted to try something else so I had a plan B.
That's what this video shows; How I made these teeth work and fine-tuned them so they look even better.
Will this method work for you? I don't know but for me it was worth a try. Heck, you may be able to make your teeth fit right out of the box. You may not need to go through the additional steps I went through.
I'm wearing these teeth today, whenever I go out, until my dentist completes my bridge work.
Now, I can smile again and I don't have to try and hide my smile.
