What Are DIY Tooth Gems and How Do They Work?

Here, we'll dive into the basics of tooth gems, the products in DIY kits, and the steps involved in their application. Whether you're a first-timer or already experienced, read on to learn more.

What Are Tooth Gems? Non toxic and lead free crystals that are applied to the surface of teeth with a dental adhesive. These crystals come in a variety of sizes, colours, and shapes. Whether looking for a subtle hint of shine or a bold statement, tooth gems can match any individual preferences.

How Long Tooth Gems Last? Typically temporary tooth gems last several hours to a few months, with longevity influenced by various factors like:
Application Quality: The skill of application affects how well the gem adheres.
Product Quality: The quality of gems, UV light, and adhesive play a big role.
Gem Size and Placement: Larger gems or those in high-contact areas may wear faster.
Tooth Enamel: The health and strength of tooth enamel impact longevity.
Saliva pH: The acidity of saliva can affect the adhesive over time.

How to apply Tooth Gems by yourself?
When it comes to tooth gem application, you'll need:  tooth gems, tooth gem glue, wax picker, UV light, cotton rolls, and a swab.
1. Clean and dry the tooth.
2. Pick up and dip the gem in glue.
3. Place the gem on the tooth.
4. Cure with the UV light for 3-5 minutes.

Should I etch my teeth before applying tooth gems? NO
In contrast to other brands, Sia Icy DIY Tooth Gem Kit does not come with an etching gel. This is because the etching gel contains phosphoric ACID meant solely for professional dental use. Without professional guidance, it could lead to chemical burns on your gums, causing dry, white, and sensitive spots on your teeth. Our safe alternative for beginners achieves longevity without the need for acids, while our adhesive keeps teeth protected and clean beneath the gem.

Why People Wear Tooth Gems?  It offers a unique way to express your personality and creativity. A non-permanent accessory that allows you to experiment with your style without making a permanent commitment. Whether preparing for a special event, embracing a new fashion trend, or simply looking to stand out, tooth gems provide a versatile and exciting option. When you are tired of your design just pop them off with your finger or floss.

Are DIY Tooth Gem Kits Safe? Applying tooth gems by yourself is both convenient and cost-effective, which is why Sia Icy kits include everything you need to get started. Doing gems yourself is MUCH cheaper than going to a tooth gem technician. Also, with Sia Icy DIY tooth gems, you have the power to remove gems by yourself at home, no need to go to a dental hygienist and pay for gem removal.
