Tooth Gem Instructions
Everything you need to apply your bling safely at home.
Read these instructions fully before you start. Choose the guide that matches the kit you bought — temporary gems use a different adhesive process to semi-permanent gems.
1.Prep your teeth
Brush and floss, then dry the tooth thoroughly. The tooth must stay completely dry through the whole application.
2.Choose your placement
Hold the gem against the tooth with the applicator to check the position before you use any adhesive.
3.Apply the adhesive
Use only a small amount of the adhesive supplied in your kit, following the timings on the bottle.
4.Set the gem
Place the gem, press gently for a few seconds, then cure or hold as directed for your kit type.
5.Check the edges
Remove any excess adhesive around the gem so nothing can catch or trap plaque.
Aftercare
- Avoid hard, crunchy or sticky food for the first 24 hours.
- Brush gently around the gem — never scrub directly over it.
- Do not pick, pry or use metal tools on the gem.
- If a gem lifts, stop using it and reapply on a clean, dry tooth.
