Instant Smile Comfort Fit Flex Natural Shade

I thought these would be a great solution to a missing canine tooth that I am too poor to replace at the present. This has been a source of extreme embarrassment and shame. Also, I own several pairs of the funny billy bob teeth sold around Halloween- the really hideous ones- and I love them! And I was totally impressed by the photos other people had posted- I thought they looked so natural!! So I get the teeth, and I’m so excited! I read the instructions and inserted the teeth, taking great care to try to position them perfectly and make them look normal. This was harder than I thought because I couldn’t get them high enough or flat enough against my gums. I was so distracted by this process I had completely forgotten about the instruction to remove the teeth QUICKLY!! BEFORE they harden onto your own teeth. Omg 😱. I know, I can’t be the the only fool who intends to follow directions only to find my brain will gleefully abandon the memory of any such direction 5 seconds later. I almost immediately began focusing solely on just how much cuter I could look if only I could get the placement of these just right- and how I didn’t like the fat-lipped, long-toothed effect I was getting. My disappointment was growing and I kept thinking of that old adage “If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.” Well, by the time I realized I wasn’t going to be transformed by these reasonably priced miracle teeth, the recommended 30 seconds had long passed. The fake teeth and my real teeth had become one. That’s not all. Adding insult to injury, part of the fitting material had hardened into a sharp pointy triangle that protruded from my teeth preventing me from being able to close my mouth. I was horrified. I had a giant pity party, panicked and sobbed and thought of going to the emergency room, but seriously, the trauma of walking in, mouth agape, with my attempt at cheap dentures grafted to me trying to mime what happened? - No. just no.So, for the next four and a half hours, I removed those fricking teeth a teeny tiny bit at a time, with a pair of toenail clippers. Ikr? gross. Please don’t tell anyone. It was also painful. And traumatic. and yessss, I tried softening the teeth with hot water- but remember I couldn’t close my mouth, so this proved unaffective. Anyway eventually I was free. And I was just so darn thankful for my missing canine!I’m sincerely glad some people have found a successful solution with these teeth, I know the shame of missing teeth is no joke. I’m just saying If you are even a little bit like me- steer clear! 🥱😬

Okay, so.... while I have yet to perfect my "teeth", I wanted to write this preliminary review as a PSA for those really desperate to reap the benefits of a product such as this, because I really don't want y'all to miss out.That being said, as a get of the other reviewers wrote; to make this product useful and to achieve more than satisfactory results for the very purpose of this product, you do need time, patience, and some light "crafting" ability.Me, I had been using the thermal beads for years to "fill in" a deteriorated front tooth that a very old school veneer had trashed and later fell off. The thermal beads result in a pure white color when cooled, requiring a "tea stain" to get it to a natural color, but they've always done the trick (Just fyi).However, being that the rest of my teeth are gar from desirable and costly implants are not quite an option, I've decided to bit the bullet (pun intended) and buy these.I had bought these as well as some thermal beads just in case. Was really a good idea.So- right off the bat; I am telling you to not even mess around with the adhesive strip they have. It's WAY TOO MUCH, and you'll save yourself a bunch of trial and error if you simply remove all of the pink adhesive from the jump. Soak in super hot water, as directed, and peel and/or scrape off ALL of the pink adhesive. It's easy to do (scrape off) with a spoon when still hot and squishy, but also after its cooled a bit to peel it off. Please do so gently, as the teeth themselves do become extra pliable when hot and seems possible that they can "rip" with extra/unnecessary roughness.So, after you remove the punk adhesive, it's time to sand.Yes, sand, because even without any adhesive they will still, more likely than not, look like horse teeth.Luckily, I had read the review of another fellow that did this as well, so I bought a rotary hand sander...lol.(Mini Cordless Rotary tool)I personally was okay with this additional $22 expense as I knew I would use it. I suppose you could use a file or even just sanding paper, but....So, I took the rotary hand sander, placed the teeth bottom side up on my couch armrest with a towel underneath (I think it's important to have a soft but firm surface) and just lightly go back and forth over the whole back side, teeth and gums, as (for me at least) the protrusion (horse teeth look) actually comes from having "something extra" between your gums and your lips, as opposed to the teeth protruding).So, I sanded, going slowly and taking frequent breaks to check out my progress in the mirror. I didn't want to go to thin and risk A) trashing/ripping the product and B) having them be too thin as not to serve their purpose.I got to a good spot, or at least was anxious to give them a trial run.I then melted SOME of the pink adhesive and some thermal beads (equal part of both) in about a half cup of water that I heated up in a small glass bowl and microwaved for 30 seconds. Was perfect. I added the scraps of the pink adhesive and the thermal beads AFTER I microwaved the water and in a few seconds was able to mix (smush) the 2 together to make an opal like color (not the bubblegum pink of straight pink adhesive).I made a strip the length of the teeth and the size of about a spaghetti noodle. Lightly pressed onto the teeth (a bit lower than where the "teeth" meet the gum line. Be sure to push some into the "anchor holes) on each corner. I forgot to remove the pink adhesive from them when I first removed all of the adhesive in the beginning, but it wasn't an issue using a toothpick to pop it out.I then smashed it onto my teeth. You can be somewhat forcefull at this point, as I wanted to get them as close to my real teeth as possible. The good thing with having a mix with the thermal beads is that it doesn't harden as quickly and releases your teeth a bit easier than just the pink adhesive itself.Stays pliable a bit longer so you can get the right position and good fit.Make sure to line them up center though. Haha.As with me, because of my smaller deteriorated tooth, my "center" is a bit off, so I just lines them up with my lip crease.lol.Be sure to spread the adhesive around the bottom edge of ALL of your teeth. This will be helpful to form the "encasing" that your teeth will "snap into" when you use them.Make it smooth and thin, but not too thin. You want enough to hold, but not too thin where it will get all "bendy" and loose its shape. Again, the benefits of mixing with the thermal beads is that you get a light opal color as opposed to bubblegum pink, and even after it's fully "hardened", its still somewhat pliable; which is good so when/if your bottom teeth "hit" the excess adhesive that's on the bottom of some of your wider teeth, the adhesive "conforms" to your bottom teeth so you can actually close your mouth.**in a picture I pointed to a spot that my bottom tooth "hit". It's only visible if your up in someone's face. And quite frankly, if you're comfortable being that up close and personal with someone, then you shouldn't mind that person knowing you are wearing these...lol.Again, you have some leeway to mold/form it to your teeth without the risk of having them cemented in.Since it does take a tad bit longer to harden with the addition of the thermal beads, swish with some ice water and then gently remove. Drop them in the ice water to fully "harden"If there's excess that you need to get rid of, don't worry about it until after it's fully hardened. You can either clip it off or use your handy sander.I am really pleased!Although I may still mess with them to get them "perfect" as I feel that they still protrude a bit in the gum area, they really don't LOOK as if there's much of a difference in how I look with them in and with them out. Could just be mind over matter with the feeling of having "something there" as opposed to it looking like there is.Anyhoos, the color is acceptable as well. I only say acceptable as I personally would have liked a nice bright smile with this product, but they are 1000% better than my own so I'm happy (just being greedy I guess). I looked at them out in the sunlight and really, they are just fine.I do wonder about using peroxide or a teeth whitener, but may get disastrous results. I'll have to research the materials and any chemical reactions that may turn them yellow instead of white.I'm also wondering the effects of wine, coffee, and cigs... lol.I guess we'll just see.All I know is that on my upcoming trip to Greece next month I'll be able to SMILE in my pictures!!!!So, I've included the following pics. My teeth (ugh- sorry), how I look without them in mouth closed.How I look with them in mouth closed as to show any difference with puffiness/protrusion. Then SMILING with them in. Then pointing to the excess on the bottom of one of my teeth (which I may or may not mess with). A pic pointing to some stragglers that I'll just snip off. A pic of how the mold looks- (that your teeth will "snap" into, and the thin "lip" that goes around the bottom of the teeth that helps hold them on. I also might mess with this to see if the molds my teeth made are enough to keep them in place. I'd believe it just might.Also, be careful not to drink/eat very hot foods as this may melt the adhesive.(It happened to me when I used just the thermal beads to fill in my tooth, so I don't really know how much the pink adhesive will counter act that or give it a higher "melting point ".I mean, I can't imagine that many can tolerate the level of heat needed to melt it down, but you never know. Just be careful.I guess I'd suggest that if it does happen, you take a sip of tea or something and you "feel it happening", just leave it, don't move (lol) and drink some cold water...Anyway, I hopes this helps and helps you decide to give these a try. Seriously, if you have the means, know how, and patience, you WON'T REGRET IT!!***please ignore my "sun-stache"..lol.... and of course the nasty pictures of my mouth. I know pretty gross, I just wanted to show you how dramatic the change is.

Absolute junk! I took these to my dentist to help me put them on properly. The adhesive that comes with them doesn’t work -pushes the teeth outwards like you have buck teeth. He took that adhesive off and tried Polygrip (that ended up as a mess) still the teeth were like buck teeth and didn’t stay on. These are super thin and flimsy. Dentist told me to contact seller for a refund; which I did. I’ll wait and see if he responds. Don’t buy! Complete junk!Update: The Seller was very understanding and quickly refunded me my money back. A+ for their customer service.
