Instant Smile Comfort Fit Flex Natural Shade

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. Read more

This product is DANGEROUS!!! Be extremely careful in fitting these teeth...but even when you do get them fitted, they look like you have a football mouth guard in your mouth! But that aside, BE CAREFUL HERE. I followed the directions exactly. You are told to leave them in your mouth for a given amount of time and no longer, then remove them and let them cool. Imagine if you CAN’T remove them. These adhered to my teeth, and it took me over an hour to finally get them off. It was a very painful process, I felt like my teeth were being pulled...all of them! When I finally got them off, they had stripped what remaining enamel I had off. One tooth was broken in half. Another tooth was fractured. I got these because I can’t afford to go to a dentist. After getting them off, talking to people before was possible without them seeing the bad shape my teeth were in. AFTER this, there was no way to talk to anyone without covering my mouth!! I ordered the next most expensive brand and they worked out wonderfully, were fitted with no problem, and look far more real. Spend the extra $9. Bucks and get the Imako brand...you will be so glad you did. For those of us who cant affor a dentist, this is an investment so to speak. Spend a little more, but if you can’t BE CAREFUL...TAKE THESE OUT SOONER THAN THE DIRECTIONS SAY. I have given one star only because this review won’t get posted if I don’t. I would prefer no star!

You get what you pay for, and even when you go to the dentist, everything’s custom fit to your mouth. So these took some customization to work, I had to sand down the gum line, with my dremel. I also purchased additional wax balls on Amazon, because what they provide in the set it’s more like a starter kit. Not sure how long it’s supposed to last, but I like having backup molds, and I eat with mine in, so I’ll have to changeout my wax more often than someone who takes them out. I guess that’ll depend on your situation, my teeth underneath are doing all the work, so I’m able to getaway with it. I can repeat the entire process for replacing the wax in about 5 minutes, getting the veneers to look good, I’ve only had to mess with the first time, now I just mess with the wax. So if it takes you a little time at first, don’t get discouraged, once you get the veneers to your liking, u finished the hard part, the wax you can heat up over and over again to get it to your liking Make sure to put the veneers in the hot water when you first get them, so you can mold them over the shape of your teeth. Like I said, I only had to do that once, and haven’t done it since. This products for someone looking for a cheap alternative, to buy more time for dental work, or a quick fix for self confidence. Like a messed up tooth, self conscious about a gap, or even if it’s the color and you want something brighter white. I’m sure others do the same, but I always was very careful about the way I spoke to ppl because of two of my upper teeth that I damaged in an accident. Prior to these whenever I was talking to someone I didn’t know especially, I was constantly making sure my lips didn’t expose my upper teeth. Smiling, forget about it, a smirk was the most you’d get out of me. Since I purchased these veneers, I can’t believe how much of my time I wasted worrying about my smile. SMH, I wish I knew about these sooner. If you end up getting them, invest a little time on social media, watching ppl’s reviews. That’s how I figured out what worked for me. They helped me make these veneers look natural instead of a mouthguard. I don’t work for them, or get annything in return for this. I’m just happy for the first Xmas in three years, my teeth will be the last thing on my mind. I went ahead and purchased a backup set, that way if anything ever happens I have a backup already made and ready to go. Not sure how I can help anyone anymore, but if I think of anything I’ll update my review? Wish you the best, and fingers crossed you get the same relief, don’t forget these aren’t dentures, and you aren’t going to get a perfect fit, you need to do that, but with a little time it’s possible.
