Question 1

There are so many questions about teeth here.  But what happens when you drink hot coffee or tea?

Accepted Answer

Do you mean after you already have it in your mouth? If so, the instamorph tooth i have in my mouth has less of a reaction to coffee, tea, and colored foods than my real teeth do.  Obviously handmade teeth that are fitted and colored individually for and by the user are going to create a huge difference with how well they work. As long as you're willing to put a little effort and time into it, there is not that big of a learning curve. It's easy to use and create a working tooth and extreamly cheap.I use coffee instead of water  to color beads because they are really white.  if your question refers the heat from drinking the coffee the answer is again no.  In order for the become pliable has to be in water that is around 140° for about 30 seconds. hotter than anything you want having your mouth for 30 seconds.

Question 2

How would i make dentures i have alot of teeth missing,cracked don't have insurance. Do they sell a mold or template to form? Am completely lost

Accepted Answer

The InstaMorph moldable plastic can be shaped and molded like silly putty when melted. For cracked, broken, or decayed teeth you can mold the plastic to fit up to the top of the tooth, up to the gum area, press and shape, let it set as the plastic gets hard and conforms to the shape you created, leave in for approximately 30 minutes, that will allow the mold to dry. Then you pull it off and reattach when needed or you can just leave it in everyday until bedtime. Once the InstaMorph melts, you have to create the tooth quickly because it hardens fast. If you have just a little piece of a tooth you can use that to attach a plastic tooth. You need something to attach it to. I use a tooth pick to help create spaces between the teeth. It will take a few tries the first few times until you feel comfortable going through the process,  after that it's easy. No one can tell the difference. If the tooth molded tooth has rough edges you can file the sharp edges down or cut them off with a small pair of scissors. You can put them in a black cup of coffee or tea for 30-40 min to get a natural color. As the plastic hardens it gets thick, so you only need to melt about 6 to 9 beads at a time per tooth. Good luck.

Question 3

Does this have similar use as Sugru?

Accepted Answer

Aside from it being hard plastic and not rubber as stated, it also does not have adhesive properties. Sugru sticks to almost anything. This stuff only sticks to itself. You can mold it around things to make it hold, or if it gets a good enough grip by getting into crevices.

Question 4

How do you apply it, if you have a missing teeth?

Accepted Answer

After you put it in hot water it becomes moldable. You quickly mold it and put it against your other teeth to where it adheres some what between them ( your teeth you have). Let it dry. And then you can shave down or cut it to better look like a tooth. Hope that helps. Be careful you cld swallow it so try not to make it too big. You are basically making you own "flipper" as dentist would call it.
