What is a Twinkles? Page up
Twinkles is a tiny piece of jewelry designed to be bonded to the tooth. Made of gold, white gold set with diamonds or precious stones and bonded with dental composites you will enhance your smile without risk if damage or allergies.

How is a Twinkles attached? Page up
The bonding procedure is similar to bonding an orthodontic bracket, which leaves the tooth intact and allows an easy removal.

How long will the Twinkles stay on the tooth? Page up
A Twinkles mounted according to our instructions on a natural tooth (will not stick to porcelinecaps) will stay on until you decide to have it removed.

Why are there no plain diamonds without gold? Page up
The diamond is shaped like a cone in order to create the well known sparkle. We set the diamond in gold to create a flat surface in the back in order to attach it to the tooth. The alternative would be to drill a hole in the tooth and that is what we want to avoid.

What makes the crystals sparkle? Page up
Twinkles crystals are made of glass and the flat back is surfaced with a foil to create a diamondlike spark. The durability is inferior to the gold and diamonds, due to the construction of the foil/glass. When bonding crystals make sure the composite bonds the sides of the glass and not only the foil to avoid separation of the glass from the foil.

Will the jewel harm the tooth? Page up
No! The Twinkles is bonded to the enamel like an orthodontic bracket.

How do I remove a Twinkles? Page up
Removal should be performed by a dental professional. 

Will Twinkles impede brushing? Page up
No, the presence of the Twinkles will encourage brushing, since it brings more attention to the smile.

Can the teeth still be cleaned by a hygenist? Page up
Yes. The Twinkles will not impede on the hygenists ability to clean the teeth properly. The area underneath the Twinkles is sealed and will not be open for any bacteria.

Can the Twinkles be felt on the tooth? Page up
Twinkles are only 0,5 mm thick. Usually it is felt couple of days after application, but the client soon get used to the feeling.
Is it allowed to peform this procedure on a minor? Page up
There are no restrictions but you should always obtain parental acceptance before bonding a Twinkles on a minor.
