Skys: what are the types of jewelry

You might think that — These are exclusively precious stones. But it's not so. They are made from crystal, glass, Swarovski stones. Thanks to the special cut, the glass jewelry looks like a precious stone. Of course, the most expensive ones are really made from rubies, diamonds, sapphires.

Product sizes are also different — from 1 mm to 5 mm. They are made flat, so the decoration will not protrude above the surface of the tooth. For production, a special cutting technology is used, which makes the skys shine, — it doesn't matter what material they are made of.

How does the skyce installation process work

The method of installing a shiny jewelry on tooth depends on the state of its enamel. If it is healthy, then the pebble is planted on special glue, if damaged — then inlaid in its surface. In the case of glue, the procedure will only take 15 minutes.

If you want to decorate your tooth with a precious stone, then you need to install it only in enamel. Before installation, the specialist will prepare the enamel — polishes and disinfects. It is fixed in deepening with the help of filling material.

Which tooth to set the jewelry? Canines, lateral or central incisors are usually chosen. A specific tooth for inlay can be selected together with doctor — it all depends on the personal characteristics of each person.

People who put skyce on teeth note that they got used to new jewelry easily. Already after a couple of hours they stopped paying attention to the pebble, as if it had become part of the tooth. Install and "remove "glitter" only a dentist should. It is possible to remove the skys when you come in, — don't need to wait until its expiration date.

When you can and when you can not put skys

Since the crystal is actually located in the oral cavity on the enamel surface, it needs to take into account possible contraindications to installation. Despite the fact that this procedure is done more for beauty, the skys have their indications:

stains on enamel;
hypoplasia or erosion of the enamel;
Visible defects on tooth surfaces.

And here, a contraindication would be allergy to metals, pathology of bite, and also age up to twelve years. In other cases, you can, without consequences, decide on a dazzling smile, thanks to a small crystal!
