1.Brush your teeth
Start with clean teeth.
2.Place a cotton roll under your lip
This exposes the tooth you're working on.
3.Dry the tooth
Dry the tooth with another cotton roll.
4.Apply the bonding agent
Using a micro swab, apply a small amount of bonding agent to the tooth and fan it for 10 seconds.
5.Apply and cure the gem(s)
Apply the gem(s) and cure under UV light for 2 minutes (press the switch for continuous light).
6.Finish
Gently wipe the gem(s) with a cotton roll, and you're done!
Tip
Enhance adhesion by applying a thicker layer of bonding agent.
Warning
Avoid applying adhesive to soft tissue to prevent burns or irritation.
Aftercare
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush.
- Avoid brushing your teeth for 6h.
- Refrain from smoking or vaping for 6h.
- Avoid eating for 2h.

Extra info
Multiple gems application
When applying gems to multiple teeth, work on one tooth at a time to avoid mistakes.
Outline tooth application
Avoid placing gems too close to the gums to prevent irritation. Also avoid applying them too close to the bottom edge of the tooth, as this may cause them to fall off prematurely.
I can feel the gem
It's normal to feel the gem for a few days, but the sensation will fade within a few days.
What if the gem falls off and I swallow it?
The gems are harmless, even if accidentally swallowed, as they contain no harmful metals.
Gem removal
For safe removal, visit a dentist. Self removal is done at your own risk.
