It looks like DIY invisalign when I'm done, but it's to cover half a tooth that's gone. Totally eat with it too.
I'm very happy with this! I broke off half of my front tooth...it was a porcelain veneer...doing something dumb: tearing duct tape with my teeth. What's worse is I cannot find the part that broke off, otherwise I would've just super glued it back on. Anyway, not being rich I did a lot of online research. I decided I'd try this (and a package of fake individual teeth). Turns out this is all I need. This is by no means a permanent solution, but it will work as long as I am willing to pop a small bowl of water into the microwave, heat it 30 seconds, then use a small spoon to form the plastic into a very thin strip, and place the strip over my front teeth and begin stretching/forming the plastic to custom fit. I use the spoon along the edge of the bowl because once you take it out, it starts to cool and set so try to form as much as you can in the water with some sort of tool. For me, it's easier to basically mold it onto two or three existing teeth than trying to form one single tooth. From there, I can use wire cutter pliers and/or a box cutter to cut off the excess and shape it to my mouth. The good thing is I can re-immerse it back into hot water to make it pliable again to tweak it. I leave it in my mouth and drink something cold to set it. I can get about 2 or 3 days of use out of one molding. After that, all the coffee and other foods stain it beyond a normal color. I also have an upper molar missing and can easily stick the plastic up there, clamp down to mold it against the bottom tooth. I'm getting the hang of it. There's a lot of flexibility knowing if you mess up, all you have to do is start over by waiting less than a minute for water to heat up. Definitely cheaper than the $1,200 to replace the veneer, or $600 to fix it. I will get it fixed, I just need time to save some money. This product bought me that time.
