The rich disfigure their teeth. It's expensive and beautiful. Rhinestones on the teeth - affordable and charming

Aesthetic dentistry enjoys great success among visitors, along with the therapeutic and surgical fields of science.

In addition to the usual whitening of the dentition and the installation of veneers and lumineers, the decoration of the elements included in the smile zone with rhinestones is gaining more and more popularity.

This procedure allows not only not only to emphasize the individuality of the owner, but also to hide some enamel defects.

Rhinestones for teeth are small decorative items that are attached to the enamel without violating its integrity, using a special glue.

These elements are made from different materials - processed glass, amethyst, precious metals and stones.

The shape and size of the products are also very different from each other, so we can distinguish the following types of jewelry:

1. Rhinestones- the most affordable option for dental inlay. They are made of transparent or colored glass. The shape of such products can be quite diverse, and the surface can be ribbed or smooth.
2. skies- round or oval products, for the manufacture of which precious stones are used. Thanks to high-quality processing, they are securely fixed on the teeth, without causing discomfort in the process of communication and eating.
3. Twinkles are flat pebbles, which are often made of precious metals (gold or platinum), and also encrusted with precious stones. The shape of the product depends on the wishes of the patient. It can be hearts, flowers, stars, animals.
4. Grills- special overlays for the front teeth, made in the form of lattices. They can be made of medical nickel-chromium alloy or precious metals. The fixation of these products on the enamel occurs due to silicone suction cups and special micro-clamps, due to which the jewelry does not damage the surface of the incisors, and can also be easily removed from the oral cavity.
5. stickers- a budget decoration option that can be used even by children. A special film is attached to the selected element of the row, on the inner surface of which a pattern is applied. Duration of preservation on the teeth does not exceed 2-3 weeks.

Main differences

Patients often confuse two concepts - rhinestones and skies, believing that these are the same products.

However, there are several differences between these products, the main of which is the material of manufacture:

1. Various compositions can be used to make dental rhinestones. Most often, this is ordinary or lead glass, which has a high refractive index of light, due to which rhinestones imitate precious stones.

   No less rarely, in the manufacture of rhinestones, rock crystal is used, the main characteristics of which are high strength and light reflectivity. In addition, dental rhinestones can consist of two materials - crystal and precious stone, from which the upper part of the product is made.

2. Skyce is made exclusively from precious stones.: emeralds, rubies, diamonds. Their size often does not exceed 2.5 mm. Processing of stones is carried out in such a way that the product is securely fixed on the tooth surface.

   It should be understood that in order to fix a natural diamond or other precious stone on the cutter, it may be necessary to grind off the enamel or drill a hole in the tooth. For this reason, skyces are most often installed on artificial crowns.

Another significant difference between skyce and rhinestones is the duration of their use.

With careful care, skyces can be worn for about 1-2 years, while rhinestones will have to be changed after a few weeks or months.

An important point and the cost of jewelry. The average price for glass rhinestones is about one thousand rubles, while skyces will have to be paid several times more, depending on the type of stone used.

Indications

The main goal pursued by fans of rhinestones is to improve the appearance of the dentition.

Most often, such decoration is preferred by teenagers who want to express themselves, public figures and people who, by the nature of their activities, have to communicate a lot.

In addition to the desire to attract attention, rhinestones, skyce and other products for teeth are often used to hide visible enamel defects in the smile area - cracks, chips, age spots.

Contraindications

Despite the high-quality processing of stones used for the manufacture of rhinestones, and the absence of the need to grind off enamel, the products have several significant contraindications:

• significant carious damage to the tooth surface;
• the presence of tartar;
• pathology of the structure of the jaw row;
• hypersensitivity;
• thinning of the enamel;
• age up to 12 years;
• an allergic reaction to the materials from which the rhinestones are made;
• inflammatory periodontal disease.

How is the installation

Fixation of dental rhinestones is carried out quite quickly - the whole procedure takes about 15-20 minutes.

However, for high-quality fixing and long-term wearing, preliminary sanitation of the oral cavity may be required - teeth whitening, removal of mineralized deposits, caries treatment.

If there are no contraindications to the installation of a rhinestone, the patient chooses the type, the type of fixation will depend on this.

When using thin rhinestones made of artificial material, they are glued, the use of products made of precious stone requires inlay.

Application or gluing is carried out as follows:

• The area of ​​enamel on which the stone will be fixed is cleaned with a fluorine-free paste and dried.
• A special gel is applied to the prepared area of ​​the tooth, which increases its porosity, thereby increasing the degree of adhesion.
• After the gel dries, a drop of Bond glue is applied to the place of the further location of the rhinestone.
• The decoration is located on the selected area of ​​the tooth and is fixed due to the polymerization process, which starts when the adhesive is exposed to a special lamp.
• At the end of the manipulation, the cutter is polished around the fixed decoration.

When installing jewelry, which includes precious stones, they are inlaid. This is required due to the significant weight of the jewel and a more convex shape due to the specific faceting.

The inlay procedure is as follows:

• A hole is made in the selected tooth, the size of which exactly corresponds to the bottom of the jewelry.
• The recess is disinfected and dried, after which the composite material is applied to it. The selected skyce is set on top.
• The tooth with the decoration is exposed to a special lamp, due to which the polymer composition hardens, firmly fixing the skyce.

Dentists note that preparing your own tooth for jewelry can further increase its sensitivity, so this procedure should be meaningful.

Can inlays damage tooth enamel, find out from the video.

Wearing and care

After installing a dental rhinestone, special attention should be paid to hygiene procedures.

The area around the rhinestone needs careful care to avoid the formation of mineralized plaque on it and the development of carious lesions.

1. When performing hygiene procedures, it is necessary to use additional tools and items - an irrigator, rinse aid.
2. Teeth should be brushed at least twice a day. You should not worry about the jewelry - the brush is unable to damage it, but it will help eliminate bacteriological plaque that accumulates in the irregularities of the enamel.
3. At the time of wearing rhinestones, it is advisable to refuse to eat solid foods, cracking nuts, seeds, crackers. When chewing, the load should be evenly distributed throughout the entire jaw row, removing excessive stress from the front teeth.
4. Every six months, it is necessary to undergo preventive examinations at the dentist in order to timely identify problems and carry out professional cleaning of the dentition.

Advantages

The main advantage of installing dental rhinestones is to give the smile an additional aesthetic appeal, as well as masking some enamel defects that cause a person to feel insecure.

The variety of materials and shapes allows you to choose the best option, taking into account the age of the person, his material status and existing enamel defects.

Due to the use of precious metals and biologically inert materials, the occurrence of an allergic reaction is observed in exceptional cases, with increased human sensitivity.

Another important point is the reliable fixation of jewelry on the tooth surface. If you follow the rules for caring for the oral cavity, the pebble will not fall out; a visit to the dentist is necessary to remove it.

Flaws

In addition to the undoubted advantages, there is also a serious disadvantage that arises in the case of the use of precious stones.

During the inlay of a diamond or other stone in the tooth surface, the integrity of the enamel is violated, which can later lead to an increase in the sensitivity of the incisors, especially when eating cold and hot dishes.

In addition, after removing the jewelry from the tooth, a hole will remain in its place, which will have to be covered with a composite material in order to avoid the development of caries and restore the aesthetic appearance.

The desire to stand out among the crowd and emphasize individuality is inherent not only in adults, but also in children.

Parents should not dissuade their children from the new dental trend. Installing rhinestones in a good clinic will not only not cause harm, but will also bring several positive points:

• Before installing a decorative stone, the dentist will sanitize the child's oral cavity, which makes it possible to identify and treat existing diseases.
• For long-term preservation of shine, the child will have to more carefully monitor the condition of the dentition, regularly perform hygiene procedures.

Popular questions and answers

Decorating teeth with rhinestones is a fairly old trend in dentistry, however, not everyone knows the details of the procedure.

Patients have many questions, the answers to which are given by specialists:

• What is the duration of holding the rhinestone on the tooth surface? The period of wear depends on its type and method of fixation. When using temporary glue, the service life of the decorative element will not exceed 1-2 weeks. Permanent glue allows you to wear jewelry for about a year. When inlaying a precious stone, this period increases to several years.
• How to remove a rhinestone? The removal procedure is carried out in a dental clinic and takes no more than 10 minutes. The dentist acts on the adhesive composition with a special tool, after which he unfastens the pebble and polishes the enamel.
• Will there be a hole after removing the skyce? If the gemstone was inlaid into the tooth surface, then the hole left after its removal is filled with a composite material. When fixing a rhinestone by the application method, after its removal, no traces will remain.
• Does it hurt to install a rhinestone? The procedure is absolutely painless, since there is no violation of the integrity of the enamel.
• Does the rhinestone interfere with communication and eating? The first time after installation, slight discomfort may be felt, however, after 7-10 days, unpleasant feelings disappear.

People have always sought to decorate their body. Now it's the turn of the teeth. In addition to the treatment and prevention of the oral cavity and teeth, modern dentistry is also engaged in their decorative decoration.

The most popular among patients is the installation of rhinestones on the teeth. They do not catch the eye too much and, at the same time, give the owner a special charm and zest..

What is it, how is the installation procedure, how harmful is it and how else can you decorate your teeth - all this is in our article.

Where did this fashion come from?

Ornaments of teeth came to us from ancient world. In some places, it was available only to the nobility, as well as to royalty, as a special distinction.

However, for example, the Mayan tribes any sufficiently wealthy person tried in this way to distinguish himself and demonstrate high status and wealth. Here, small precious stones were fixed on the surface of the teeth - rubies, emeralds, and so on.

In the modern world, as it often happens, pop and movie stars become trendsetters. Rhinestones for teeth are no exception.

For the first time, a legendary pop singer adorned herself in this way. Madonna. The singer from the very beginning of her career was famous for her eccentricity, and it was she who first decorated her teeth with a sparkling pebble.

This was the beginning of a fashion trend. Following Madonna, many stars of television screens and show business began to sparkle with “precious” teeth. Among them are Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.

However, now such jewelry has become available to absolutely everyone, not only in the West, but also in our country.

The difference between the terms skyce and rhinestones

Many people think that the terms "rhinestones" and "skyces" are identical. However, there is a difference between them and it is quite large.

Rhinestones are called jewelry, which are made of various materials.. They are named after the German inventor G. Strass.

Most commonly used special lead glass, which has a very high refractive index and dispersion. Because of these properties, rhinestones are considered imitation gemstones.

Sometimes semi-precious and ornamental stones of different colors can be used. Very popular rock crystal (amethyst) which has great strength.

Also, in some cases, so-called doublets can be used, when the upper part of the jewelry is made of a precious stone.

The name "Skyce" comes from the name of the company that first started making such dental jewelry - SKYCE. Today, skyce is called small (up to 2.5 mm in diameter) gems, processed in such a way as to keep well on the teeth and not interfere with their owner.

So, the main difference is that "rhinestones" are not gems, but simply imitate them, while "skyces" are.

What other decorations are there?

• Twinkles, the original name is Twinkles. This is one of the varieties of rhinestones. However, instead of glass or stones, a small figurine made of precious metal is used here. In some cases, the metal serves as a frame for a small stone.
• stickers- a thin film with a printed pattern.
• tattoos- for drawing a picture using a special permanent paint.
• Grills- metal (precious and non-precious metals) decorative "covers", linings for teeth. The design is adjusted to the size and shape of the dentition.

Indications and contraindications for installation

Since rhinestones appeared in dentistry for decoration, their main function is enhancing aesthetics. The bulk of people who are interested in the possibility of installation are modern youth.

This type of jewelry, although not overly bright, allows you to stand out from the crowd, give your appearance a twist.

That's why the main indication for the installation of rhinestones is the desire of the patient. However, besides this, with the help of rhinestones, you can "hide" small enamel defects on the outer surface of the teeth in the smile area.

These can be small darkening and spots that do not violate the integrity of the surface and do not threaten the development of caries, fillings that have changed their color and stand out on the surface, cracks. All these defects are preliminarily eliminated with the help of seals.

Contraindications

It is much more important to know in which cases doctors do not recommend the installation of rhinestones, as well as other types of jewelry.

• The presence of caries.
• Various dental diseases.
• Tooth stone.
• Pathologies and significant bite defects.
• Children's age, when the dentition is not yet fully formed - up to about 12 years.
• Hypersensitivity of teeth.
• Hypoplasia or thin enamel layer.
• Crowns and implants.
• Veneers.

From the above, it can be concluded that installation should be carried out only on healthy teeth, possibly with small cosmetic defects that need to be closed. Preliminary it is recommended to undergo a professional teeth cleaning procedure, and sometimes whitening as well.

In addition, there is the possibility of installation on the crown. But only when this is done in advance - the crown is already placed with decoration.

Detailed description of the installation procedure

There are two main methods of installation, which differ in the degree of invasiveness - intervention. This is applique and inlay. The choice of method depends on many factors, including the choice of jewelry - its shape, size and material.

Application

The first is the most common and popular due to its simplicity and almost complete absence of damage to the integrity of the enamel. You can also find another name for it - "dent-art". The basis of the procedure is gluing rhinestones to the surface.

This technique involves the use of stones of a special shape - flat and thin, of small diameter - up to 2 mm. Their surface should fit snugly against the enamel to avoid peeling off when worn afterwards.

The upper part of the decoration should also not be sharp or strongly convex. This will prevent injury to the tongue and oral mucosa. The application of rhinestones is carried out in several stages.

• Preliminary preparation consists in cleaning, disinfecting and drying the enamel area where the stone is planned to be glued.
• After that, processing is carried out using a special gel, the composition of which makes it possible to increase the adhesion of the surface to other materials to increase the adhesion strength.
• Then a special glue is applied, which contains fluoride, to further strengthen the enamel. Most often, light-curing composites are used as adhesives.
• The decoration is installed on the prepared place, after which the procedure of polymerization of the material for fastening is carried out using special lamps.
• The last step is to polish the enamel around the installed rhinestone to enhance the shine and remove excess adhesive.

Inlay

In most cases used when setting gems. They have more weight and a convex shape, which is explained by the peculiarities of faceting.

Doctors advise using this method only for initially damaged teeth, which have enamel defects, which in any case need to be hidden.

For installation in the surface of the tooth, a small hole is made with dental instruments, which exactly corresponds in shape and size to the bottom of the jewelry. The doctor must achieve maximum identity. Only then will the stone hold firmly.

For attachment, a composite material is used, which, after polymerization, becomes incredibly durable. The composite is applied to the prepared (created, disinfected and dried) recess in order to place the decoration on top.

Advantages and disadvantages of wearing

Among the advantages, one can note the special aesthetics and originality of such jewelry, which give the smile an unusual shine and radiance. In addition, it is a convenient way to correct small defects on the front and side teeth, which greatly spoil the impression of a smile.

Unfortunately, there are also disadvantages. This is especially true of the second installation method - inlay. In this case, there is a need to violate the integrity of the enamel.

Accordingly, after removal, the hole will need to be additionally closed in order to avoid caries and tooth decay, as well as to restore beauty to the smile.

• Particular attention should be paid to hygiene procedures at home, since the area around the jewelry is difficult to fully clean.
• Use additional hygiene products and tools, for example, an irrigator.
• Do not eat too hard foods, so as not to damage the rhinestones. They also include nuts.
• Do not use your teeth as a bottle opener.
• Get regular checkups with your dentist.

Price examples

Now let's figure out how much it costs to put rhinestones on your teeth.

The average cost is original Swarovski crystals: near 3000 rubles, if it is a special glass, and more expensive - about 5000 rubles if artificially created diamonds or semi-precious stones are used as the material.

Be sure to ask about the certificate of product quality, since in rare cases you can get a less expensive and less durable analogue, the cost of which usually does not exceed 300 - 500 rubles.

skies, which are precious stones, will cost more - up to up to several thousand due to the high cost of materials.

stickers- the most affordable way to decorate a tooth. You can buy them for the price of the order 500 - 1000 rubles and they stay on the surface much less than rhinestones.

Reviews

Rings and earrings are familiar and familiar to everyone. But the rhinestones on the teeth are an unusual decoration that will give the whole look a touch of unforgettableness.

But you should do it only if everything is in order with your teeth, because it will look disgusting on yellow and crooked teeth .If you smoke, also forget about decorating your tooth - after removal, a stain may remain .. And so, if you want to do it, do it, don't be afraid, it won't harm your teeth.

  The first time I saw skyce on my teeth was at school, about 13 years ago. And I also wanted such a strazik on my teeth. But since my bite is wrong, and the enamel is not blindingly white, I forgot about my dream for a long time. Now I have seriously taken care of my teeth and soon a pebble will shine on my teeth. I think that it is not vulgar, but gives some kind of zest to a person.

  I have been walking with rhinestones on my teeth for over ten years. No problem. They don't feel and don't interfere. I'm waiting for them to fall off (and they do not peel off in any way) to change to a different color. It looks beautiful and very aesthetically pleasing, but this is provided that you have beautiful even teeth, on crooked teeth they draw attention to the curvature.

A rhinestone or skyce on a tooth serves as a decoration and is attached to the tooth enamel. Young people install them to show off. People in adulthood to hide enamel defects. Skyce is made from artificial diamonds or real, other stones. The invention belongs to German experts in the field of dentistry. Previously, decorating a tooth was a painful process.

Types of jewelry for teeth

Today, the procedure is carried out with ease, since it does not cause any discomfort or pain, and it costs within reason. These are not the usual rhinestones used to decorate fabrics. These are not suitable for teeth, as their structure will not allow you to stay in a humid environment for a long time and reliably. They quickly peel off, leaving unaesthetic stains.

Ordinary rhinestones do not have a dazzling brilliance, but this is the main feature of skys. Dental jewelry is prepared using special technologies. The lower part is a mirror, the outer “diamond” layer has numerous facets that can refract light in such a way that when you smile, multi-colored sparkling rays scatter from it in all directions. Moreover, this effect does not fade with time.

Rhinestones on the teeth look spectacular, expensive, attracting other people's eyes. Photos of famous representatives of show business only spur the desire to install skyce. They are made of glass or crystal. They are given many facets, which makes them almost indistinguishable from real diamonds.

The thickness of the rhinestone is a maximum of 2 mm, so it does not interfere at all in the mouth and is not felt. Dental jewelry is given a very different shape:

• round;
• square;
• hearts;
• droplets;
• just oval;
• dolphins;
• other.

Another type of jewelry for teeth - twinkles. For their manufacture, precious stones or metals corresponding to the client’s desire are selected:

• gold;
• platinum;
• rubies;
• diamonds;
• emeralds;
• sapphires.

Their shape is also the most diverse - flowers, stars, crosses, hearts.

There is also a very economical, safe and quick option to make a smile sparkling - stickers.

Cases of using skyses

The main task of skyce is to make a smile more attractive. He, slightly gleaming, and attracts the eye. Rhinestones look great only on snow-white teeth. Those who have yellow enamel are not recommended to put them on, as they will emphasize the yellowness even more.

Skyce is also placed on the teeth in order to hide any defects in the tooth surface. A sparkling element will distract attention from the flaw.

Although the procedure is safe, there are contraindications:

• with pathological bite;
• hypoplasia or aplasia of enamel;
• allergic reactions to metals;
• children under 12;
• caries;
• yellow enamel.

They put jewelry on the teeth of the upper row - on fangs or lateral incisors.

How is skyce installed?

The decoration is attached only to a healthy tooth, previously healed, polished. Installation even on an implant, a crown, veneers is possible. There is a variant of fastening a rhinestone as part of a seal.

The procedure for installing skyce is simple, it takes twenty minutes. The patient does not experience any pain or discomfort. Decoration on enamel is easy to install and also easy to remove.

Decoration installation steps

1. The procedure begins with the preparation of the tooth surface. To do this, a specialist dentist removes plaque, saturates tooth enamel with fluoride.
2. The surface of the tooth on which the skyce will be installed must be absolutely dry.
3. A drop of bond is applied to a predetermined place under the decoration. Bond is a special, dental adhesive.
4. Direct installation of the selected decorative element.
5. The decoration is fixed with a special lamp. It takes a few seconds for the glue to harden.
6. Polishing.

This completes the installation procedure.

If a precious stone, for example, a diamond, is chosen as a decorative element, then a small recess is prepared in addition to the enamel by drilling.

In order for the skyce to stay on the tooth surface for a long time, it is additionally treated with a special compound. Only a specialist dentist is engaged in the installation of dental decorating elements.

If necessary, the skyce can be easily removed. Dismantling the decoration is much easier than installing it. No glue or rhinestone stains remain on the enamel. The skyce is removed with a dental instrument, then the surface is fluoridated and polished. Although the removal procedure is simple, do not try to do it yourself.

The decoration can stand for several years. It happens that it disappears after a while. Much depends on the structure of the tooth enamel, on the quality of the installation work and the quality of the materials. The average service life is about two years.

Price

The price of the skyce installation procedure will directly depend on the material chosen. From precious stones, the jewelry will cost in the range from 4500 to 5500 rubles.

Glass stickers and rhinestones will be much cheaper. If you really want to ennoble your smile, make it unique, attractive, then there is an option for any wallet.

Features of care

How to emphasize individuality and give an additional charm to a smile? In the modern world, skyce is popular among young people and celebrities. They are small jewelry made of transparent stones attached to the crown of the tooth. Skys are called different types of applications on the teeth.

In ancient times, the decoration of teeth served as a distinctive sign of belonging to a particular class or society. In Japan, teeth were covered with a special varnish to protect against caries. In modern conditions, skies perform an aesthetic function and are an ornament.

Sparkling pebbles are installed on the teeth for two reasons:

• for beauty;
• to hide enamel defects.

The form of decorative ornaments can be very diverse, the material of manufacture is special stones and metal, or a combination of both. The decoration on the enamel immediately attracts the attention of the interlocutor and decorates the smile with radiance.

Decorative pebbles are so small that they do not create discomfort in the mouth. Their thickness and diameter are not more than two millimeters.

In accordance with the purpose, skies are divided into several types:

• twinkles;
• stickers;
• rhinestones.

The skies themselves have a rounded shape and are made of glass or crystal. Many facets create a radiance similar to the brilliance of a diamond.

Twinkles are modeled from precious metals and stones. In form they are very diverse - crosses, figurines, droplets, flowers, stars.

Stickers are especially popular among young people: affordable price, ease of installation, variety of forms. The stickers can be self-installed on the enamel and can be easily removed.

Rhinestones are made of transparent or colored glass of various shapes.

Important! Skyce on the teeth are attached with the help of dental compounds and do not pose a threat to the health of the enamel. The installation procedure is painless, the cost varies from 1000 to 6000 rubles.

Rhinestones can be part of the installed filling, and skys and twinkles are installed on healthy tooth enamel. Rhinestones are also used to hide defects in the enamel coating.

Gem inlays should be abandoned immediately as this method requires damage to healthy tooth tissue.

How to install skies

This procedure is carried out only in the conditions of the dental office with the help of special formulations. The size and shape of the dental accessory is selected by the dentist based on the shape of the tooth.

The procedure consists of several stages:

1. enamel quality diagnostics;
2. preparation of enamel for fastening;
3. actual skyce installation;
4. application fixation.

Decorating teeth with skyce has indications and contraindications. Installation indications include:

• enamel defects - spots;
• dental crown defects.

The only contraindication is the pathology of the bite, the curvature of the dentition and intolerance to metals by the body. In other cases, anyone can decorate enamel.

Before installing the decorative element on the enamel, it is necessary to diagnose the adjacent teeth as well. Installation of jewelry on an unhealthy tooth is not performed. If a pre-sanitation of the oral cavity is necessary, the dentist will first cure the caries.

Enamel decoration is also unacceptable, if the patient suffers from tartar, it is removed. After removing hard deposits, the teeth are whitened and polished, and the enamel is fluoridated. The dentist cleans the crown with special compounds from plaque and irregularities.

The tooth is disinfected and covered with a layer of fluoride. After that, a dental gel is applied and the area of ​​application is treated with an adhesive substance for better adhesion of the decoration to the enamel surface.

The next stage is the processing of the tooth section prepared for application with a dental lamp. After that, the dentist cleans the selected decorative element and degreases it with a special composition. Glue is applied to the degreased surface and the decoration is attached to the enamel.

The remaining adhesive substance is removed from the surface of the crown, and finally the tooth is treated with an ultraviolet lamp to consolidate the effect.

Care rules

How to take care of the oral cavity if skyces are installed? Dental hygiene should be especially careful and careful - the time of fixing the composite on the crown depends on this. First, the electric brush should be discarded immediately and abrasive toothpastes too. For cleaning, only a brush with medium bristles is suitable.

You will also have to give up solid foods: do not gnaw carrots, do not bite off hard apples and pears. Seeds and nuts are contraindicated - they clog the dental accessory. After each meal and snack, you will need to rinse your mouth with water.

Skyce dental embellishments are supposed to provide a radiant smile, however over time the metal or other finish on the appliqué can tarnish. In this case, you should visit the dentist - he will clean the jewelry, and it will shine again. If you need to remove the decoration, this can be done at the dentist - they will also polish the enamel for you.

Pros and cons

What are the advantages of decorating teeth with skyce and what are the disadvantages?

The positives include:

• masking the imperfections of the enamel coating - cracks, chips, stains;
• dental adhesive used for application strengthens enamel and protects against caries;
• the cost of decoration is not high, it is available to everyone;
• the period of fixing the application on the enamel reaches five years, subject to careful treatment.

The negative points include the following:

• necessary restriction in food - you can not eat solid foods;
• the impossibility of installing the application on your own - only in the dentist's office;
• requires special oral care.

If, after installing the accessory, you do not follow your teeth, plaque will begin to accumulate around the skyce, which threatens to turn into a stone. Dentists advise using an irrigator for care - a directed jet of water.

Tribute to fashion

Is it necessary to install skyce on the teeth, following the fashionable phenomenon? The desire to look modern has prompted some fashionistas to install gemstone inlays deep into the enamel layer. However, fashion is a transitory phenomenon, and after a few years, the decoration of the teeth may already look outdated.

It should be noted that decorative elements will emphasize uniqueness only in the case of natural whiteness and beauty of the dentition. Application on yellow teeth will emphasize not the beauty of a smile, but unkemptness. Therefore, patients with crooked teeth or accentuated yellow bone do not install rhinestones.

Skyce dentistry will not establish if the patient's gums are bleeding or there are chronic inflammatory processes in the oral cavity.

Is it worth installing Skyce on a child's tooth? Children often strive to pay tribute to fashion without thinking about the consequences. Solving this problem is simple: offer a sticker instead of skyce. Stickers can be changed constantly, they do not bring harm. It is better to refuse a tattoo on the enamel of a child.

Tattoos are also made in dental offices using special equipment. Such compositions are kept on enamel from a day to six months. After applying the pattern to the enamel, you should limit yourself to the consumption of fruits, solid foods and hot drinks - otherwise the pattern will be erased.

A great alternative to a tattoo on a living tooth is a drawing on a removable crown - it can always be removed.

Gemstone inlay

In the recent past, there was a fashion for encrusting teeth with precious stones, however, such a procedure is traumatic for enamel - it is necessary to drill a hole under the stone.

Therefore, you should immediately abandon the implantation of precious crystals into the enamel structure. This causes irreparable damage to the tooth - the enamel layer does not build up after removal. Instead of inlay, you can try the appliqué method - applying a decorative element to the enamel surface without a puncture.

The application can be removed at any time, while the surface of the crown will remain intact and healthy. After removing the mounted element, you will need to put a seal.

If the desire for gemstone inlay is irresistible, then a nerve-removed tooth should be decorated. A common problem with encrusted living teeth is pain when eating hot food: the stone expands under the influence of high temperatures. The same applies to visiting couples. A tooth without a nerve will not respond with a painful signal to the brain.

Veneers and false crowns can be encrusted with precious stones - the best way to decorate a smile with precious radiance.

What to choose?

If the issue of decorating teeth with applique is acute, you need to calculate the degree of risk. The safest way to decorate is with a sticker - it is not expensive, it is completely safe for enamel and can be easily removed.

Rhinestones with skies are also relatively safe, however, an adhesive base is used to fix these decorative ornaments, which affects the enamel. Jewelry in the form of rhinestones and skies require certain dietary restrictions - not everything can be eaten and drunk. You must be ready for this.

Jewelry in the form of twinkles is undesirable: to hold the metal element on the enamel, substances are used that have a destructive effect on its structure. Twinkles are best placed on “dead teeth” or on crowns.

Dangerous for the health of the teeth is considered to be inlay with drilling of healthy tooth tissue under a precious stone. It is better to refuse this procedure immediately or encrust a tooth without a nerve. An alternative is a crown with inlay.

It should be remembered that skies are incubators of bacterial plaque due to poor-quality care for the decorative element. Owners of a shining accessory take care of their jewelry and try to touch it as carefully as possible. As a result, plaque settles on the enamel, which contributes to the development of caries over time.

The pursuit of fashion and beauty always has a downside. If you decide to follow the fashion trend, be prepared to spend enough time on your teeth and give up many of your usual products.
