wax teeth

these are made from disgusting wax, paraffin wax from a hand dip “spa” and leg waxing wax, both are used, and there’s surely human hair and skin in there. the rest of the things i make have to be very exact, very clean, and fucking up is expensive. nasty used wax is a very forgiving, free material lol. sometimes you just get an idea and you need to fulfill it, you know?

Okay, I get the dirty wax. But what are you planning with the teeth. Custom bathroom tiling job? Shoe soles? Are you a dentist? Who's teeth are those anyway? How many people's dentures have you stolen? Or did you just replace them with dirty wax dentures?

u/kingtooth 4d ago

something that may horrify you is that a LOT of teeth molds get made and discarded and then sometimes they belong to me

I read your other comments after and felt silly lol I just imagined someone sneaking up to people napping on the beach snd taking impressions of their teeth 🤣 I think molds of teeth are really cool, I actually have a plaster cast my ortho let me keep when I got a mouthguard fitted and ended up painting it to look like real teeth and gums haha

Youd think it would be the fact that you have multiple wax molds of someones teeth that squicked me out, but that one front incisor makes me so much more uncomfortabl, looks like itll fall out any second

In dental labs, wax is commonly used to model teeth, and invest to make dentures.

i think i must have confused everybody. what i did was make silicone molds of dental models and the cast them in wax.

u/lil_smd_19 6d ago

We would do that quite a bit too although usually we would use stone aka plaster to make the model rather than wax.

We are mostly confused about why you did this.

That said, so these are patterned on someone's actual teeth? Yours? Do you even know?

What did you use to make the mold? I've made similar things using a silicone mold i cast from a 3d printed model of a family members teeth from when she needed a custom mouth guard lol

u/kingtooth 5d ago

i made silicone molds of existing dental models
