my fangs are designed to fit your and ONLY your teeth.
first, a color is chosen using one of Three or More specially blended colors. these blended colors afford me a much better color match and even have the natural translucency of natural teeth.
They are hand crafted to match the orientation of your natural teeth and to augment them to virtually any size, shape, or style you can imagine.
What are they made of?
my fangs are made of the highest quality dental acrylic; the same material used in the manufacture of temporary crowns, retainers, and full or partial dentures. this material is very strong enough to stand up to day to day wear, yet soft enough not to cause damaging wear to your natural teeth.
How do you make them?
my fangs are made in several steps.....
1. I explain everything to you while it's happening, I mix a variety of Colored Acrylic and a Liquid called Monomer to create the Ball of "Dough" or Acrylic ball. I slowly place this over your actuall tooth until totally covered. I do this on both Sides
2. Once this is Done, I explain that the Material will get a bit hot, if you feel this warming up let me know for Removal. They start to heat up, this shows that it is Hardening.
3. The Caps are Removed, then allowed to Set. When they Set and are cooled down I Start to Shave them into a basic Fang shape. After you have this Large Morbid Fang Shape sticking out of your mouth that when the Detail work and Design is most important.
4. Once Shaped into the Style you like, i then buff the fang to a high luster, eliminating surface porosity. this does two things; reduces the chances of staining and gives the fangs the feeling of natural teeth.
This material is called a "cold cure acrylic". that means that it needs no other catalyst than itself to cure. during the process, the material heats itself up by chemical reaction.
Are they single caps, or do you use a bridge?
I prefer to use the single cap design as opposed to a bridge. this provides you with more natural feeling fangs and less of a feeling of a full mouth. speech, even for those who experience a slight lisp in the beginning, becomes completely natural in a day or so. you are also able to upgrade from set to set because i don't fuse the caps in back. this also makes it easier to do repairs because we only have to fix one tooth as opposed to a whole bridge or several teeth fused together.
are they removable?
Yes as a matter of fact, i recommend you remove them while eating and sleeping.
can I eat with my fangs in?
well, you can certainly consume LIQUID foods of any type without fear. however, because of the side to side grinding movement of the human jaw while chewing, there is the possibility of catching the tip of a fang and snapping it off. also, consistent grinding will result in the wearing away of the backside walls of the fangs making them thin. this process may take years, but why risk it? If they WERE cemented in, these problems would be much less of a consideration because there would be almost no chance of the fang being knocked loose. once loose from the natural tooth, the fangs are very fragile and any undo pressure may result in a crack.
what happens if I swallow a fang?
other than having to buy another one, nothing. not to say that they are safe to consume, but providing they don't get caught on the way through, your system will just pass them along.
why can't I sleep with my fangs in?
most people grind their teeth when they sleep, but EVERYBODY grinds when they have a foreign device in their mouth. again, because they are not cemented in, they may be knocked loose by accident. if this happens while asleep, you run a good chance of inhaling a piece. THIS IS VERY BAD. you don't want to end up in an ER explaining that your punctured lung was the result of a fake fang coming loose.
can I bite people with these fangs?
that is entirely up to you and the person whom you wish to bite. biting a non consenting person is illegal and considered assault in all 50 states, so make sure that the person you plan to bite is willing. also, please feel free to review the answer to 3 questions back.
can they break skin?
YES BUT BE CAREFUL, THERE'S STD's, Also another thing to remember is that the human mouth is considered to be one of the dirtiest places on the planet. bacteria is ALWAYS present, even after a thorough dental cleaning, and the chances of getting somebody sick with any amount of other nasty things are very high. it is recommended that those who have been bitten by a human (and had skin broken) receive a tetanus shot and possibly undergo treatment with antibiotics.
How do I care for my fangs?
1 . please store your fangs in the contact lens case i provide with each pair. these cases will minimize the potential for breakage while outside of the mouth and better distinguish between right and left. please keep your case clean; bacteria buildup may damage the fangs and cause an unpleasant odor.
2. please DO NOT EAT with your fangs in. they are not designed for this purpose. the cross movement of the jaw while chewing may put pressure on the fang tips, causing them to crack.
3. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU EVER SLEEP WITH YOUR FANGS IN!!!!!!!!! they WILL break, and you may inhale the pieces.
4. please attach and remove your fangs ONLY in the way demonstrated by the Teeth By Dnash at time of fitting, or on your care guide. proper removal and attachment is integral to long fang life and maintaining a secure fit.
5. some people require denture adhesive to secure their fangs. you will be told at the time of fitting whether or not YOU may need to. if you do, i recommend Poly grip. a tiny dab on the inside of the REAR of the fang will suffice. if adhesive is put on the inside of the FRONT, it will show through the body of the tooth resulting in �pink fang�. you MUST clean the adhesive off of the fangs every night after use to reduce bacterial buildup.
6. if you find that your fangs are a little lighter than the rest of your teeth, you may darken them slightly by soaking them in coffee. however, they should be soaked for only five minutes at a time to ensure that OVER staining does not result.
7. you may brush your fangs with regular toothpaste (except for whitening tooth pastes), being sure to clean the outside AND inside thoroughly after each day of use. left unclean, they may stain more rapidly, and the bacteria accumulation will result in an unpleasant odor. should the fangs become heavily stained, you may soak them in Efferent for a short while. please do not do this often, however, as the solution may cause porosity in the acrylic over time. PLEASE DO NOT SOAK THEM IN HYDROGEN PEROXIDE SOLUTION, OR USE A PEROXIDE BASED TOOTHPASTE. THE ACRYLIC WILL TURN PUMPKIN ORANGE , AND CANNOT BE RETURNED TO THE ORIGINAL SHADE. please do not use breath sprays such as Binaca, for they cause white spots on the acrylic which are hard to remove.
*** following these instructions and care tips will greatly lengthen the life of your fangs. employ good judgment in their use, and they will serve you well for years to come. enjoy....***
can you make fangs in other colors?
Yes and I am Working at that as you Read this...
can you make fangs that glow in the dark?
Soon you will have these aswell... Keep in mind all Colors will Cost Extra...
can you copy a movie style?
i can duplicate virtually any style of teeth you can imagine. just provide me with a picture and i can do it.
can I get them in other styles?
sure thing. all i need is a picture, or for you to tell me what you want. i love to do custom work, and it gives YOU the opportunity to have something different and unique.
how long does it take to get them?
each pair of teeth takes about an hour to make, give or take any problems you have with your mouth. everything is done right in front of you, and when we're done, your fangs are ready to take with you, NO WAITING!!!
Where to get them?
I come to you, I deviler... just Call Set an Apointment, Give me Directions and we are set.
what is the size difference between short, medium, and long?
short fangs are really subtle, the preferred length for ladies, and more conservative people who like to wear them to work without calling too much attention to themselves. strike that... if you're wearing fangs to work, i'll put money you're already beyond that step. anyway, they are easily hidden until you snarl. GREAT for shock value, and they look the most natural. medium fangs are a little longer. usually just a little harder to hide, but a great effect because people can see just a glimpse of fang whenever you speak. great for leaving people a little uneasy if you don't let them in on the secret.
long fangs are simply THERE. that is it, end of story. they are usually pretty hard to hide and VERY frightening to people who don't know they're caps. they usually don't impede speech, but they can be a bit much for small mouths.
extra long...... well, if you really want 'em.
all lengths are relative to the size of the mouth they are going in to. that is why they are custom. a long fang to one person may be a short fang to another. i also make recommendations sometimes on the proper length because some peoples mouths don't allow for overly long fangs, i.e., a strong cross bite or under bite.
what is involved in putting them on and will they stay put?
usually, they will go in and stay on simply because they are custom fit. suction and fit make up 99% of how well they are going to stay. the other 1% is the size, shape, and condition of your natural teeth and gums. these caps rely on the spaces between teeth and gums to "snap" into. some mouths don't hold teeth in very well simply because of how your teeth are placed. it's really hard to say until i take a look.
how do you keep them in if they don't stay in by themselves?
just use a small dab of poly grip. you place it on the top of the back portion of the fang, just inside. because the tooth is custom fit, it doesn't need anything to be stuffed into it to tighten it. the poly grip just adds a little tackiness and adhesion to the fang. too much and your tooth won't fit right. please remember that these fangs are translucent, and if you get poly grip, or ANYTHING on the inside of the FRONT, it may shine through and discolor the fangs. be sure to always clean out you fangs to avoid this embarrassing occurrence.
