DIY Dentures Kit - Customizable 12-Piece Set for Upper & Lower Teeth | Easy-to-Use Home Denture Solution for Women & Men | Perfect for Travel, Emergency Dental Care & Daily Confidence Boost

This is a good product. Recently I made the decision to get teeth fixed (replaced) After years of poor hygiene and poor decisions my teeth were a disaster and basically needed to be 100% replaced which meant all of my remaining teeth needed to be extracted and a full set of dentures made. But this is a lengthy process due to appointment availability so in the meantime ntil i get real dentures I needed something resembling teeth to hold me over most importantly just so I could eat. Most DIY kits are essentially for esthetic purposes only and don't have the integrity to be able to bite and chew food. I took a chance and ordered this kit because it included all the necessary materials to create a set of custom personalized dentures. My main concern was the thermoplastic gum material and the bond that it had with the included teeth.So basically the process used with this kit is similar to that of professionally produced dentures. I did a little bit of research prior to making my purchase (which I highly recommend) this kit uses a 3 step process:1> making a silicone impression of your mouth2> making a plaster replica of your mouth so that you can then fabricate your dentures using that replica3> creating the dentures with a thermoplastic gum material (not dental wax) and acrylic teeth.The silicone does set up pretty quick so you need to be ready and get the 2 part silicone compound thoroughly mixed, put into the tray and then in your mouth so you can get an accurate impression, leave it in place for several minutes, if you try to remove too early you will regret it. And this kit does include everything you need but only enough silicone for 1 try on the impressions. Top and bottom (But you can find more impression material sold separately if you fail). If you are doing both top and bottom make sure to make both before continuing to next step.Next- Mixing the dental stone material is pretty straight forward and there are plenty of videos on YouTube including a QR code on the packaging that takes you directly to a video for this process. There are 2 packages of stone powder and I was able get good thick castings for both top and bottom with 1 package. The next step is removing the plaster cast from the silicone mold. TAKE YOUR TIME so you don't break the casting. There is enough to try again if you do . And then the fun part- making the dentures. This is a tedious process that will take a couple tries probably thankfully the thermoplastic material is somewhat reusable but this is also something you want to take your time with and once you get them made you can warm them to try and get a good fit. I am am average size 50+yr old male and the teeth that came in the kit are a bit smaller than my real teeth but I'd rather have them a little smaller than bigger. Additional teeth are also available separately and pretty affordable too with quick (sometimes same day) shipping.I am still working on getting a good fit and the bond and integrity feel like they will work for light duty eating. Maybe not biting into whole apples or chewing up steak. But sandwiches and other easily chewed foods should be do-able... Hopefully. I will update this review once I get a chance to really put to the test.I know that anyone looking into this option is probably looking for a serious solution and these actually might work. But they do take some work and time to get something that you'll be happy with, but it is possible to get something you can be happy with I believe. Hope this helps
