how long do you have before it sets up to the point the tooth can't be adjusted?

The spread dries quickly, so you have to work fast, then hold everything in place for I think 5 minutes. Then you need to not eat or drink anything for 12 hours or something like that, so I did it right before bed.

Before applying to your tooth. mix up some and let it set to see how quick it sets up and begins to harden. This will give you an estimate of how much time you have to get the tooth in place. I would say have the tooth in place where it should be within 35 seconds then don't touch and keep area dry with cotton ball for a few minutes. Then clean off excess that squashed out. In about 1 1/2 hours its permanent.

I adjusted it to fit about a minute, minute and a half. That was enough time for me to fit my bridge in place.

Maybe...If you press, rub lightly over the tooth surfaces and hold in place for 10-15 seconds the strip may conform to the irregular surfaces. They seem to hold in place well and even are hard to remove if left in too long. Trays may be a better solution.

I haven't been able to figure out how to adjust the time intervals. Either I can't understand the instructions that came with it, or they are not written correctly. At first, the lights didn't come on at all. I played with the adjustment screw for that, then it wouldn't shut off the lights for a very long time. I fiddled with the two adjustment screws until it comes on regardless of the ambient light level and stays on for about 15 minutes. if I manually turn it off, it won't turn the lights back on until the remainder of 15 minute "on" time has expired. It is on my "to do list" to research exactly how to adjust the settings.

The bar is set in the middle of the braces and cannot be adjusted. It's in the middle, 8 inches from the end. Super solid product though

Sorry I can't help. You may want to ask a dentist, Google your question or go to Supersmile.

It takes an hour or two. The most difficult part is making sure you get the tension control cable that runs inside of the tubing hooked up correctly. I did that wrong the first time and couldn't control the tension until I fixed it.

Give it a little tug that should set it in place. Any way that works for me.

Thanks for the help, will have to measure between teeth, but think it will work.

There's definitely a way to do it; I had the same problem initially. If memory serves, there's a little lever or something that you need to push/pull before you can adjust it. Pretty sure it was detailed in the instructions that came with mine.

It seems that it would work anywhere that your dentures or partials are loose or ill fitting. Of course, this is only a temporary measure until you can have a dentist appointment.

You can actually make a whole set if needed, it takes a but of time to shape them right, but it can be done. You'll want to have a toothpick to make them look like teeth...patience is the key.

I am not sure you could do this with the correct color and size. Go back to your dentist and discuss your dissatisfaction. Good luck.

I haven't had that problem so far, but the teeth on my unit are still very sharp. I can see where that could happen after the teeth get dull. The only issue I have had is that when a tooth gets and nick in it, finding which tooth to turn can be difficult.

I can't say what's "normal" because I have the same issue after roughly the same time of use. It's very bulky. I'm almost to the point of concluding that the thickness of the separate pieces, combined, cause my teeth to be too far out of alignment for comfort. The longer I use it, the less I like it. I'm about ready to try an athletic mouthpiece, and simply align my teeth to the same location as with this "adjustable" guard, when I do the first heat-compression.

I've had it set for up to 60 minutes. I don't receommend you have it on for that long except under the lowest settings.

Jaws could you elaborate more on how you are trying to use the retainers? cga

Yes I believe you can make it as long as you want. just remember that the amount of weight of your project must be properly supported for stability, so some extra braces would have to be added.
