Just a little message
Im sending your way I wish
You a happy morning and a bright
And sunny day.
From a dental professional: this isn't "dangerous" as long as a professional applies it! You can get them done in a dental office. You also need to take care to maintain the teeth health as if your teeth get stained while you have the gem on when it comes off it will be whiter underneath. The real danger comes from when unlicensed / non dental people apply them improperly or with bad materials.
I heard from 2 different dental professionals (1 is an odontologist and the other one a dental prosthetist) both told me this is bad for different reasons, but the most important one is that is strange object and most likely your body will try to protect you against it, also they showed me what can happen to your teeth with piercings like bone and gum reabsorption.
How is this not damaging when she said the primer breaks down the enamel and makes it porous also she said some of the gems have lead in them! WTF how is that not dangerous
@@indica_nail_artist_6363 she said she only used swarovski gems because they are known to have almost no led in them and u should be careful in choosing ur gems. and the glue she uses is the same glue used in braces
@@indica_nail_artist_6363 probably becuse she said dont use ones with lead
Wish I had my old teeth back. It's a nightmare trying not to smile every single day
Etch does not destroy the enamel, it breaks down the minerals on the enamel surface which is self repairing from the minerals naturally occurring in your saliva as well as toothpaste. Etch is used by orthodontists for braces, crowns, veneers etc and has been studied for decades, as long as it’s used correctly it doesn’t damage the teeth at all. Tooth gem technicians are also trained professionals however it is not a licensed field so please make sure your technician is certified by a reputable technician. Also, Swarovski crystals are no longer made with lead and any traces of lead are the same level in drinking water as it’s a naturally occurring element. Ebonee’s tooth gems are safe and look great, the only issue I see is her technician didn’t light cure correctly so it might not last as long as it should.
You incorrectly stated "it breaks down the minerals on the enamel". It actually breaks down the enamel itself in order to create a porous surface (as stated in the video). If your teeth are natural, then this process is in fact damaging the surface of your tooth, regardless of whether or not it's done by a professional. That's not to say that you will feel any pain, but damage is being irreversibly done.
Also, it looks like she had food stuck in her teeth now & she looks dirty from a distance. Such a sad outcome.
“Her teeth are shining.”
“She must take good care of her teeth...”
*“She glued diamonds to her teeth.”*
They are not diamonds, they are crystals.
THE POINT IS ITS STUPID TO GLUE SHIT TO YOUR TEETH LMAO
@@stopminormutilation that looks great and lasts for years. 😃
@@stopminormutilation the point is your opinion is worthless and so is your ridiculous judgmental attitude. Go find something constructive to do! Making rude comments here only shows the sheer lack of character and humanity you embody.
@@Katyreigh1 I mean I understand respecting one another’s choices but there’s a line, this is just straight up,,Man.
Oh Ebony from the American vs British season of America’s next Topmodel! Nice to see her here
I recognised her but couldn't figure out from where. Thank you!!
literally rushed into the comments for this
Okay that’s what I thought! 😂 I was like she looks like the girl from top model
Why do they mess with the enamel though? Most braces don't damage the enamel like that, so wouldn't you just use the same process to stick the gems on?
I had exactly the same thought
Braces do mess with the enamel. Typically, the shave the teeth a bit so the glue can have a hold and that is in fact messing with the enamel.
Only the etching part can harm enamel BUT only if its done improperly. so if you are looking into getting a tooth gem that is the semi permanent bonded one make sure its an actual professional and not one of the random people all of a sudden claiming to have a tooth gem business lol. or if you do it yourself just get the other adhesive (just doesnt last as long) there are literally so many other things that damage enamel like soda, juice, teeth grinding, sugar, acid reflux, bad dental hygiene which basically gives bacteria a free for all, all you can eat meal to the sugars and leftovers in ur mouth 😂 the bacteria produces an acid which turns into plaque which over time plaque completely breaks down enamel and ur gums too. so yea... etching a small part of the tooth; if properly administered with the correct time duration, really isn't anything anyone should be worried about.
@@you_when_u_eat_paint_dust4428 etching is not shaving a tooth. etching is an acidic gel that dissolves only a microscopic part of the tooths outer mineral content which leaves a rough texture so that a bonding agent can adhere way better than it can to the smooth enamel surface of a tooth.
My sister put a diamond on her front tooth and this was 25 yrs ago! It's DOPE to me!!!
Ayeee!!
+nfenitic That's so cool!!
This isn’t the same. It’s glued on not drilled into.
Does she still have it?
@@JuaniqueVerde yes she still has it & it still looks new. She has to go make sure it’s still in its setting.
Can we have an orthodontist/dentist talk about the long term effects of this on teeth? This seems like a bad idea when they are taking the enamel off of the tooth. 😬 Also, there is no safe amount of lead for the human body. 🤦🏾♀️
I’m no dentist, but I have one myself for almost 2 years now. A dentist did it, it’s the same effect as if you’d have braces on 🙂 if it’s done correctly it’s safe for sure 😇
I causes more plaque accumulation which increases the chances for caries. Also there is the added risk for tooth sensitivity.
Hygienist and I personally have a tooth gem. I equate to having a bracket placed for braces. If you can't keep it clean then yes it can cause some damage. Otherwise if someone has good home care and healthy teeth this is fine to do but it would best to use a crystal/gem that is made specially for teeth and applied be a dental profession.
Back in the early 2000s this was trendy to do, I don't think girls who done it had bad effects
There perfectly fine for the teeth there put on the same way as braces and you can get them done at certain orthodontists and dentists
Off topic but Eboni is such a pretty girl and her smile is so perfect😍😍😍
I think having anyone other than a dentist work on teeth is risky.
Also the practice of breaking into the enamel is a bad idea.
You can risk getting dental decay years from now.
Over the years teeth can shift - I think better just to wear necklaces /bracekets etc
These gems are not dental fillings.
You can end up with damage years from now .
Most people want strong tooth enamel and a dentist would say the same.
Do not hurt tne integrity of your teeth!!
Mine has been on for over 5 years with no damage and it’s the same bonding they use for braces. Completely safe and non-invasive.
It's not the bonding that is the issue. It's what the etching primer they put on before that to "breakdown the enamel" so they have a porous surface for the bonding to adhere to that people are complaining about....
@@Katyreigh1 well i guess urs is still on, you are still to discover the damage!
@@jemmaj2919 no, I’ve been to the dentist several times. There is no damage. These have been used this way In Europe, the East and West Coast for about 15 years in the US and even longer in Europe. They are now proven to be safe. As a matter of fact, many dentists apply them as a separate service. Although you do not need to be licensed to apply the non-permanent tooth gems.
@@Katyreigh1 dentist might apply the same technique as that used with braces, which is just a glue. But there is no way on god's earth they'll scratch the enamel (the way this video explained) to increase the hold of the glue.
wish it was symmetrical thats just my personal taste though. she is absolutely stunning
I personally wouldn't use gold. Because from far away it just looks like a yellow tooth.
Oh I had something like that done in like... 2005, lol. Is it really back???
Everything that happens in the 2000- 2006 era is coming back
Teeth are not like nails, they don’t grow back, take good care of them people
I just wanna know who covered the costs for this procedure. I wish they would state that. Oh nvm. I thought those crystals would cost a lot more.
Her personality is so 🤩 and she looks great!
Here I am doing everything I can to make sure nothing is stuck to my teeth. Who knew?
"We use Swarovski cause they have ALMOST no lead....." LOLOL I have no words. 👎
Ya people are dumb.
It’s really not about the crystal. It’s about the backing of the crystal.
For real! Swarovski crystals are literally made with silicon oxide and lead 💀
@@MissmalefiqueSwarovski crystals are no longer made with lead and any traces of lead are the same level in drinking water as it’s a naturally occurring element.
Oh we're doing this again, ooookaay
You’re not gonna like this. But I will always learn and do my own teeth gem care, placement and removal. I am not paying for something I can do myself. 💕🤷🏻♀️
Wow, this is some kind of time travel situation 😅 This crystal in tooth was a thing in Germany in der early 2000. Never saw this coming back. 😅
Dachte ich mir auch ;D
Dachte ich auch :D als ich ein Teenie war hatte das fast jeder.
It’s been back for years just the States are late to the party. Lol!!
Don't do this ... the enamel is there to protect teeth.
It doesn’t effect the enamel. It’s the same bonding agent as braces. It’s perfectly safe and non-invasive.
@@Katyreigh1 at least with my braces they didn’t use anything to make the enamel “more porous” as they are doing here between cleaning the surface and applying the bonding agent. 🤷🏼♀️ This damaging of the enamel was exactly what made this process so controversial the last time it was a trend in the early 2000’s. It died down quiet quickly back then though. At least over here.
@@MaggieParker09 I agree and to be honest, that is not needed and it’s the first time I’ve heard of using anything to make your tooth enamel porous. I’ve applied them it that was never part of the process.
@Eleecia Woodards exactly fear doesn’t make you pretty 🤩
@@MaggieParker09 etching is apart of the process for braces. its the most important part in fact, thats what makes the braces last so long on the teeth.
was gonna be like lol why would you get a tooth gem, but im in love with her personality and she's gonna rock it
Mary J. Blige and Monica were the first females I remember to have diamonds actually put into their teeth
But historically indigenous people created it and remain rocking them but bc they don’t live in the USA it’s not highlighted but it’s a big cultural thing in Guatemala and borderline of Mexico entering 🇬🇹 vice recently posted about it:)
Looks cool! And that's the tooth!!
I feel so old because I don’t understand this. But ebonee is so beautiful and I would kill to have gorgeous skin and teeth like her 😍
I'm 22 and I don't get it!
Love it! I've seen so many girls in LA with them. So cute 😍
My aunt has been a dentist for 35 years and I asked her if I should do this and she said hellll no. They damage the teeth , same goes for oral piercings .
She looks cute but is it a good idea to break down the enamel of your teeth?
I like the palm tree a lot
Honestly I check them continuously for fear of having a tiny pointy crystal stuck in my throat 😟 not to mention, I wouldn't have my teeth damaged to have a little crystal on, especially by someone who is not an orthodontist or dentist... It seems dangerous and definitely not worth it, it's even difficult to see they are there and if you do, the first impression is that they are some kind of dark spot rather than an embellishment
Edit isn't the price of the "disco ball" basically an admission that the price of one gem is a total rip off?
Second edit because I can't believe what I'm hearing: soooo, basically you have treated the tooth surface to have a porous surface and it only lasts for maximum two years? And then you'll have a porous hole in the surface of your tooth?
I’ve had one on my tooth for almost 5 years and it was supposed to only last 9-12 months. It’s perfectly harmless and non-invasive.
@@Katyreigh1 but what about removing the enamel to get a porous surface? It's sounds irreversible and demaging to me.
And besides, I wouldn't want not qualified people messing apply chemical substances to my teeth or in my mouth in general.
Also, that mention of swarovski crystals contenting "almost no" poisonous substances left me a bit uneasy...
@@Katyreigh1 is it still there? what is the state of ur teeth
@@eora5142girl I don't think you know it's literally like gluing braces on your teeth. You'll be fine jeez the drama
ebonee!! icon!!
Love the gold palm tree gem. Super nice! 🌴✨
The model has amazing skin!
Omgg Ebonee Davis! My favorite model!!
shes gorgeous 😍
This is giving me throwbacks to getting my braces on
I wonder if she would allow someone to bring their own Swarovski gems. I have a ton of them I used to use on my nails.
I've been doing this (gluing diamonds to my teeth) since high school (I've been out of high school for nearly 20 years). The adhesive I use last 3 weeks. No enamel damage. Who knew it could be a business idea.🤷🏾
Hi I'm tryna get into doing this ,what glue do you use 😩 I checked on amazon & i just see mixed reviews smh
I think people who have a sensitive tooth cannot do this also what if you swallow the gems?
I thought that people were going to a dentist to get this done. This is stupid lol
It’s not stupid and there is no need for a dentist. My dentist thought it was cool when he saw mine and it’s been on for almost 5 years. Totally non-invasive and safe.
@@Katyreigh1 really? So no problem at all? I find it hard to believe dentist thing this is a good idea
@@liyahzzz91 they don’t think it’s a bad idea. To each their own.
@@Katyreigh1 yes to each it’s own. That’s why i stated my own opinion but thanks for your opinion also.
Her hair game is fire 🔥
Wow. She is gorgeous
if u swollow them u gonna poop gems
Sounds like a rap verse
Mine has been on for almost 5 years.
I'm undecided
Wait now I want one lol
She is so pretty!
Wax Melrose is the most California thing ever
No bond adhesive & they’re using an unsterile tool but pop off
Those are super cute!
Appreciate the info and pricing at the end!!! 🥰🤗🙌
Her teeth looked better before the gems 💎
great prices !!
She has a beautiful smile. Not sure about the palm tree tho.
Agreed. Don't like the palm tree. Just makes her tooth look yellow from a distance. Should have just kept it simple with the gems.
She’s so gorgeous, something this frivolous doesn’t matter on her, I think it’s a damn waste, I love her and her personality so, whatever. 🖤
I want that for my teeth too but I don’t know if I could get it because I play the saxophone
What is this, 2006? 😂😂😂 what's coming back next? ass antlers 😂😂
Looks super cool however messing my already probably weak Mexican enamel...and we get enough low lead count in our tap water pretty much. No thank you ☺️
I used to do this 20 years ago with super glue and nail gems. Oh how things make a "come back"
I wish It was somewhere down here I could go down here.
I wouldn't mind getting these.
As a dental professional this makes me cringe.
Wait she is getting tooth gems done at a waxing salon?! She should get this procedure done at a licensed dental office
I would definitely do this
I wanna get tooth gems above my howley retainers but I'm not sure if that's allowed
I must be an old fuddy-duddy, but I'm sorry I think this looks ridiculous!
Same
In Switzerland every other girl has this done. So interesting how trends envolve in different countries.
Not really. Only very few have it. And most are older now. Maybe depends on the specific demographic.
it was a trend around the world in the early 2000 not just where you are
@@jemmaj2919 I didn’t say that
Mmh it originated in the Americas by native Americans. Mayans still do this and grills as a cultural thing as their ancestors did. If anything it’s not a trend, it’s cultural appropriation to indigenous peoples lol
@@jemmaj2919 not true, it’s a Native American culture from Guatemala and Mexico. Mayans invented grills and tooth gems
She look like she got some food stuck on her teeth 😂
I swear the teeth shines brighter than the gem
Omgomgomg i wanna do this my pops a dentist so we have those materials😍😍😍
theres a possibility of lead in those gems wow what else
Issa no honey. I don’t think this is safe😂🙈🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Nice smile
Where have I seen this girl before??
I don't like the gold one but she rocks it
Remember grills from the 90s?
They’ve been around wayyy before that. Mayans been rocking them for thousands of years till this day 💯
Hey! Thats Eboni from ANTM Cycle 18! 😱 I wonder if she's still modeling🤔
Also, this looks like a dope process 😊
Shouldn’t a dentist do this?
She thinks of herself as a rockstar.. LMAO. Tacky as.
So many questions with this video. & What a terrible idea to PERMANENTLY break down your ENAMEL for something that'll only last 6-24 months?? Lol enamel is no joke, you dont get more. Also $75? You can literally get a little 20 pack of tooth-sized Swarovski gems from Michael's or Hobby Lobby for $8. Finally, as a person that had braces for 3 YEARS, if they can adhere crazy metal to ppl's teeth WITHOUT breaking down the enamel, why cant they do the same here? Glue'em on, cure it! Why destroy the tooth first???
exactly
Cuuuute!
People these days: I know what I'm doing
Also them:
dentists try so hard to get everyone to take care of your enamel (it does not regenerate) but people be out here doing stuff like this 🙃
Enamel is self repairing and etch does not damage it
Ugh... Adding lead and breaking down your enamel... This needs a medical input.
How do they remove this
Iiiinteresting!
Love them
Why?
Theres no bad effects on your teeth sure, but it looks like you constantly have food stuck in your teeth unless youre getting someone 6 inches from your face & showing them. Ive literally always 100% of the time thought someone had shit stuck in their teeth til they said they were tooth gems. Like just brush your teeth guys this genuinely looks terrible.
If you’re in Pittsburgh or Erie hmu for your tooth gems!
I guess it's time to knock somone's tooth out. 😂
I really want to do this
@refinery29 why you promoting harmful beauty
Really bummed they didn't go to the OG Tooth Kandy to get this done.
Wish I had my own teeth!!!!!
I really want tooth gems because I'm getting my braces off soon but I don't think I'll be able to because Ill have a retainer and won't be able to put them on over the gem
IF IM WRONG PLEASE TELL ME
(I'm not yelling just want you to be able to see I have a question)
A hairdresser I follow on IG does this. It honestly always looks like something is stuck in her teeth.
Can anyone help with finding LEAD FREE crystals
no cuz I steal Swarovski crystals from hobby lobby then use dollar store supper glue for my teeth gems
This is so cool. I have a situation where my parents used a water in my baby form that contains something that stains the permanent teeth. This is something that I’d like to look into and fix one of my insecurities. Any advice?
Not even a real dimond lmao
