Tooth Piercing – Part III
Accord with your smile shine of the precious people have tried from time immemorial. The wealthy citizens of ancient civilizations with the luxury of using sapphires, rubies, emeralds and other precious stones, and not always for the benefit of the teeth. Modern dental inlay is not harmful to enamel. This fashion was born in Germany.
Today tooth decor includes crystals, Skyces, Twinkles, Veneers and Tattoos.
Rhinestones is a decorative crystals (rock crystal or Swarovski). They have a small round or tapered. They often decorate the 1 or 2 front teeth. Skyces – precious stones – mainly sapphires, emeralds and rubies. Before you join the ranks of dental jewelry they receive special cutting and polishing, so the teeth hardly felt.
Twinkles-application of white or yellow gold shapes and sizes. In addition, according to the customer they can put diamonds. Veneers-ornaments made of china. They are installed solid cover on the front teeth.
As with any other jewelry, dental decor more often in girls and young women from 14 to 35 years. Men decorate their teeth less often, and in contrast to the fair sex, who willingly uses jewelry, they prefer gold and natural stones.
But regardless of the price and material, non-traditional decoration becomes the object of general attention and can sometimes change the life of its possessor. In the early days of the gold star on the upper incisors brought a young girl less joy than desired. It seems that the interlocutors are looking in your mouth, not in the eye. And then she met the man of her dreams. Maybe a star was, and nothing to do, but the young man at first thought that such a bold, in his opinion, the decoration could only belong to an extraordinary nature. I must say he was not mistaken.
Precious Jewelry for teeth made of gold, including white and platinum. Typically, dental clinics offering such services, there are examples of ornaments to choose from, or your favorite little thing can be ordered. There are clients who prefer only the exclusive jewelry, and bought their own jeweler. However, in this case, the customer must be familiar with the intricacies of the case, because in the oral cavity may be only an ornament of gold higher, 900-th sample. Metal standard, 585-carat can oxidize and even change its color to greenish.
In the frame can be enhanced gemstone. The most commonly used transparent diamonds or sapphires. They shine brightly, splashing bright rays around them and emphasizing the natural whiteness of enamel. Stones with saturated color, such as garnets, emeralds, rarely used, because at a certain light, they may look too dark.
But tooth paste stones are set in stone doctors advise. First, the tooth will have to deepen. If the thickness of enamel is insufficient, then the tooth is prepared, but if want to remove the stone, in the hole will seal. Secondly, adhesion to the adhesive surface of the crystal is very weak, and there is a risk of losing an expensive decoration.
Non-precious jewelry for the teeth are much cheaper, but often does not look worse. For their manufacturing special alloys, which are not oxidized in the mouth and do not cause irritation. Forms a shiny metal plastinochek can be extremely varied. The most popular month, the sun, stars, dolphins, butterflies, but there are also card suit, and the signs of the zodiac, so that we can give full play to their imagination. By the way, who said that you can decorate with only one tooth? Sparkling inserts are inexpensive phianites or colored crystals, but as is the case with precious stones is better to give preference to light or transparent colors. With inexpensive decoration can leave without any regrets, if it suddenly started to get tired or no longer correspond to the image.
Women are very often used dental jewelry for the upcoming celebrations: wedding, birthday.
Summer fashion is also a weakness for sequins, because they are so beautifully glisten in the bright sun. They decorated with fashionable clothes, exquisite manicures, their adhesively bonded to the body, and hence on the teeth, they will look organic.
From thought to attach the decoration itself better to refuse. The best way to cope with this task specialist who primarily clean enamel from organic residues, will surface etching tooth enamel and degrease the surface of the jewelry.
Ingredients used for gluing decorations on the intended for him, is very similar to the one that is used for mounting brackets. It is clear, absolutely unnoticeable and does not prevent refraction of light on the decoration. On the other hand holds what is called, “tightly”.
Correctly set decoration can be maintained indefinitely, but it must be attached to the ideal of healthy enamel. Since filling materials composition adheres worse, and decoration may simply fall off, what the client is usually fairly warned.
Help decoration may lose some bad habits, such as chew the tip of a pencil, but in fact most people voluntarily give up their decor. Photographing also better in the clinic. And even if the decoration inadvertently come unstuck, is worth visiting the dentist. The place where it was attached, should be freed from the remnants of adhesive, enamel carefully polished and treated with a special calcium therapy.

Tooth Jewelry trying to make the most flat, so that they did not feel in the mouth and do not interfere with hygienic procedures. But, nevertheless, they are somewhat dominate enamel surface. Therefore, around the jewelry, the conditions for accumulation of soft plaque and prosperity of microbes, and thus increases the risk of caries.
