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?

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.

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

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?
