^{quick question, does this work if you have braces like me? thank you!}

DrakeVegas Featured By Owner Nov 10, 2016 Hobbyist Digital Artist

This is goddamn fantastic! I wanna use this and wear them casually, instead of for a costume.

LunaticLunic Featured By Owner Oct 1, 2015 Student General Artist

I'm so glad I found your tutorial.

Halloween's just around the corner and I can afford to make this. Yay! Though I'm a bit worried about wearing them since I have a 110% over-bite. Guess I just have to be super careful.

i dont get it! i tried this, and the moment i saw it i asked myself "how the heck does it stay on the top of your mouth?" and i went through this, and i was right, it doesnt just magically stick to the top of my mouth :c why doesnt it? in your pictures it fits perfectly, and when i did the play-doh, it kept sticking to my mouth when i tried to peel it off, and it deformed the teeth causing it not to fit correctly. could somone please help me understand why this isnt workin?

please

help me out

like, i followed the instructions as well as i could, but when i tried this it just didnt fit me qite right.
ps... playdoh taste nasty.... XD

And an evening to boot!

Sorry on the delay however I'm currently back on my usual account; i.e. Nidhogg10 here regardless.
Unfortunately it's a "lost in translation" scenario, the stuff I used is technically also called a modelling clay - essentially it's firmer than what's more well known as play-doh and gives a more accurate negative mold as is required.
Unfortunately I can't do much on the taste part, they both taste kinda funky in all honesty xD

LONG STORY SHORT: MODELLING CLAY LIKE SCULPEY/FIMO OR ANYTHING FIRM will do the trick

You technically could use an alginate but....that's getting a little more pricey as such xD

Hope all's dandy in the meantime!

Meikomaedamore Featured By Owner Jul 15, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist

So I'm having a problem. I can't get the playdough mold deep enough and when I do it sticks to my teeth and ends up in a mess. Any tips?

wardie2 Featured By Owner Edited Jul 12, 2014 Hobbyist General Artist

Thank you so much! These will totally work for my Rin Matsuoka cosplay!

this was a pretty great way to make my Grell teeth .... but it was a little hard to talk with it

Foxfireflames Featured By Owner Apr 21, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Going to be using this for my cosplay. Can't wait to go to Kuroneko con. This is great. C:

vk-tsuki Featured By Owner Mar 18, 2013 Student Traditional Artist

shadaay Featured By Owner Mar 4, 2013 Hobbyist

hey i wanted to know how do yo make it to hold onto your teeth so they dont move

SEcosplay Featured By Owner Feb 3, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

this is awesome, but does it have to be a hot glue gun? or can I use any type of glue? and also how does the teeth mold stay in the mouth? :3

Shirimitsu Featured By Owner Oct 23, 2012

Jp;sdfjidiup this is a great tutorial, but it's not working b/c the hot glue is melting the wax. how to you fix this...? should i get a better candle or whaaat.???

MoonSpider95 Featured By Owner Oct 23, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

is the was totally hardened? I'm just guessing that may be the reason, but idk (I just did the melting the wax part tonight, gonna do the hot glue thing tomorrow cuz the gun is at school)

Shirimitsu Featured By Owner Oct 25, 2012

lol, yeah. I even put it in the freezer to try and get it to work. Still melted. I'm at a total losss ;-;

MoonSpider95 Featured By Owner Oct 26, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

ugh, I'm at a loss too. Mine came out just fine.

perhaps you just bought a lousy brand of plasticine or something?

kimicat108 Featured By Owner Oct 3, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

this is fantastic. so helpful! thanks so much for this..I'll be cosplaying Grell in the near future and I was freaking out about his teeth...not anymore!!

when you say that speech will be made difficult..out of curiosity, exactly how difficult?
/shot for asking stupid questions

PaperOwls Featured By Owner Sep 27, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

Wow, such a good tutorial

I paid like fifty bucks for a pair of dental distortions, and then my parents got mad at me and threw them away :/

Maurikiano Featured By Owner Aug 21, 2012

That's incredible! But isn't it uncomfortable?

Top-Drawer Featured By Owner Aug 13, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

Will be using this, without a doubt.

themagicruby Featured By Owner Aug 2, 2012 Student General Artist

i had to use playdoh instead of plasticiene, it didn't work the first three times.... never put playdoh in your mouth

themagicruby Featured By Owner Aug 2, 2012 Student General Artist

oh, if you put plastic wrap over playdoh, its ok

MoonSpider95 Featured By Owner Jul 19, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

This shall be useful

MoonSpider95 Featured By Owner Oct 28, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

and it was!! mine came out great!! thank you so much!!

CheeseNinjaPanda Featured By Owner Jul 11, 2012

WHOAAA THAT'S AWESOME!!!! *eternal worship* OTL

Chibi-Kizumi Featured By Owner Jul 10, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Okay so I understand that these won't last long, but i just need a pair that's usable for a day or two. XD;;
Are these wearable for long periods of time, like a whole convention day without taking them off? Or will I have to resort to putting them on only in pictures? ; A ;

This is a great tutorial, it seems easier than molding clay and baking them or buying $60 teeth. ; W ;
THANKYOUU!!!!!

Izulio Featured By Owner Jun 30, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Imagine if you accidently bit your tongue with those teeth
...

CuttlefishTea Featured By Owner Jun 15, 2014 Student Digital Artist

_{I had kind of the same teeth, except the nails were glued to my actual teeth through dental glue, I laughed and I chomped down after someone hit my jaw. I bit through the tip of my tongue and was bleeding so much that I had to go home.}

Z0XII Featured By Owner Jan 10, 2012

Thanks for this useful tutorial!! It is really amazing!!
I'm willing to make some shark teeth, and my dad agreed (he is going to help me with this) but he said the hot glue could be toxic? Is there any special non-toxic glue or anything?
Thanks

Thank you sossosososososososososoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch!! Thank you!!

Claryfaery Featured By Owner Jan 8, 2012

We just used this tutorial and here are some things we learned that might help~

1. make sure your glue gun isn't too hot when making the guard- the wax will melt, and then you have to start over. XD
2. Don't use too much glue on the front and top parts of your guard, it gets too bulky and won't stay in.
3. Don't glue the teeth too low on the guard, make sure the tops line up with the tops of your teeth, otherwise they're too big and impossible to manage~
4. using a small glue gun helps, like a 10 watt one if that helps, we had an average one that turned out to be 40 watts, and the wax melted immediately.

We experimented with making different styles of teeth, like not just shark teeth, and it gets pretty complicated...Great tutorial though, just make sure you have PLENTY of supplies on hand in case you mess up the first (three) time(s) like we did.
Thanks for the awesome tutorial~
