Many girls dream of a beautiful smile that would fascinate and attract an interlocutor. Recently, a new fashion has appeared to decorate teeth with special crystals and rhinestones. What is it for? The answer is quite simple: to make it beautiful. Skies on the teeth are attached in several ways. Which is better to prefer? Can this be done at home? We will find answers to these questions in the article.
Where did the tooth decoration tradition come from?
The tradition of decorating teeth originated in ancient times. Modern fashionistas would probably be delighted to learn the history of skyce. Several thousand years ago, the Mayan tribe decorated their teeth with special rivets. To do this, they grind off the enamel surface and mount the jewelry.
Of course, the process had a bad effect on dental health. But at that time this question was irrelevant. The most important rule was not to be different from people living in the tribe.
Modern society treats its state of health with great care. Few people are willing to sacrifice a tooth for the decoration, which will only wear a certain time period. Medicine offers new methods for setting rhinestones that are completely harmless.
What is skyce?
Teeth skies have been quite popular lately. Many fashionistas are happy to demonstrate the smile that adorns a semiprecious stone. This procedure is carried out only in the dental office. I would like to note that it is absolutely harmless. It takes no more than 20 minutes in time.
The most important rule is to choose the right size of the stone or rhinestone. The aesthetic appearance depends on this. Not very beautiful, a large stone looks on a small tooth.
The diameter of the jewelry can vary from 1.5 to 2.5 mm. Depending on the material chosen, a stone may shine better than a diamond (for example, crystal). In dental clinics, the service costs from 1,000 to 6,000 rubles. There are patients who prefer to set a real diamond. A couple of years ago it was a very fashionable trend. Almost all secular lionesses sought to decorate their teeth in this way.
But the opinions of doctors on this score differ. The fact is that a diamond sparkles only under certain lighting and the necessary cut. To do this, it is necessary to "drown" in enamel. There is only one way to do this: by making a hole in the tooth and placing it there. You must admit that this is not entirely good for health. After the procedure, the tooth can become sensitive and painful.
Choose to your taste
Teeth decoration with skies is a procedure that many clinics offer. The cost depends on the type and size of the stone, which will shine and fascinate the interlocutor. The material may be as follows:
- Diamond. Currently, it is practically not used, since for installation it is necessary to drill and destroy the tooth. Doctors advise using it only if the client has an implant or a crown.
- Crystal. Very popular. Properly polished, it shines no worse than a diamond. In this case, the installation is completely harmless.
- Swarovski crystals. They are relatively inexpensive, popular among fashionistas.
- Rhinestones made of glass. The cheapest stuff. The downside is that they can be worn for no more than two weeks. This decoration is suitable for certain holiday dates or events.
- Twinkles. These products are made of gold or medical alloys. They are different in form, mainly found in the form of figures (hearts, flowers, animals, and so on).
Many fashionistas like to combine materials, then skies look even more attractive.
Diagnostics required
Before installing the skys on the tooth, it is necessary to diagnose this organ. This is a very important step. If the jewelry is attached to an unhealthy tooth, problems and severe pain can begin. In this case, you need to refuse skyce. In this case, adjacent teeth should also be in perfect order.
To make the smile beautiful, and the attached element does not emphasize the flaws, it is important for fashionable women to have snow-white, even teeth. Very often, dentists resort to skies in the case when it is necessary to hide any defect, for example, a dark spot on enamel.
How to install the jewelry?
Of course, lovers of such jewelry are often interested in: “How to glue skies on the teeth?” The answer is unequivocal: it is not recommended to do the procedure at home due to the lack of appropriate equipment.
There are several ways to install materials:
By installing ordinary rhinestones on a glue basis, you can make sure that the procedure is painless. It takes no more than 10 minutes. After the size and shape of the skyce have been determined, a special glue containing fluorine is applied to the tooth enamel . The lifetime of such jewelry is no more than two weeks. Undoubtedly, this is very small. Many people choose this option before attaching skyce from crystal.
Gold jewelry, Swarovski crystals set using special glue, which is called "Bond". It absolutely does not destroy the structure of enamel, while with skyce you can go up to five years.
The situation with diamonds is much more complicated. In this case, it is necessary to remove the enamel layer or to puncture the tooth.
Putting a skyce on a tooth is itself unacceptable. It is important that the doctor conduct a diagnosis, use special materials. It is impossible to stick rhinestones with ordinary glue. It will damage the enamel and can lead to tooth decay.
Standard Installation Procedure
Installation of skies takes place in several stages:
- To begin with, the selected tooth is completely cleaned with a paste that does not contain fluoride.
- After that, they are determined with a specific installation location. A gel is applied to it, which opens the pores of the tooth.
- As soon as they appear, the place is treated with an adhesive system.
- With the help of a special lamp, the achieved effect is fixed.
- The next step is to clean the decoration.
- Once the skyce is perfectly clean, it should be degreased.
- At the last stage, glue is applied and the decoration is fixed on the tooth.
After this, the procedure is considered completed. If there are glue residues, they are removed using a special solution. To consolidate the effect, many dentists shine their skies with an ultraviolet lamp. In this case, the composite dries faster and holds better. This is how the installed skyce on the tooth looks (photo is presented below).
Contraindications are available
When installing skies on the teeth, do not forget about contraindications. Among them:
- Age to 12 years.
- Pregnancy.
- Diseased teeth (chips, cracks, plaque, pulpitis).
- Malocclusion.
- Installed braces.
Another important point - the client should not be allergic to the materials that will be installed.
Is care necessary?
On the forums, the question often arises: “How to attach a skyce to the tooth?” Reviews about this procedure are mostly positive. Installation is completely painless. It takes no more than 20 minutes in time. Do you need special care for decoration? Dentists claim that there is nothing complicated in this process.
Skays need to be brushed with a toothbrush after eating; it is better to rinse your mouth with water so that pieces of food do not remain. The only thing you should not do is eat solid food, such as nuts, seeds.
Skies on teeth have become quite popular among fashionistas. The installation procedure is harmless (except for using diamonds). The cost can fluctuate within 5000 rubles. It all depends on the material chosen and the size of the decoration.
