need help with vampire teeth!

Post by spins the thread of life » Tue Oct 24, 2006 8:23 pm

My 16 yr. old is being an 18th century vampire. Made the dress, ect.. BUT we can't get the teeth to work. They are two individual fangs that you mix an epoxy for and form to your teeth to stick on. Problem is, the epoxy won't stick to the plastic teeth. Any ideas that will work to hold the fake teeth on without messing up her real teeth? tried dbl stick tape, nope. Anyone solved this problem?

Go to walmart or the pharmacy and get some cheap denture adhesive. Works great. I have some of those teeth and it works great for them. I ran around all day with them in. Just don't try to eat with them in.
I may grow older, but I refuse to grow up.
I'm not weird, just normal challenged.

yeah, but there's a problem... it tastes nasty, and it sticks your tounge to the roof of your mouth......

Sort of a last resort really, but you can even use chewing gum to hold them onto your teeth..

Chew the gum a little and then fill the fang part way with the gum. Stick onto your teeth and voila! This will not be anywhere near as strong as the epoxy mixture but at least it keeps them on for a while. If you find that the adhesive is not sticking to the teeth, pop to your local fancy dress shop and try a different adhesive. There are several different brands that you could try before you resort to the gum idea ;)

I had a problem with my fangs not sticking to my braces! Be sure to post pictures of your daughter when you figure it out! It sounds like you have a great costume and I would love to see it! After reading Twilight *pokes siggy* I'm a little obsessed with vampires

Twilight. Yeah, I'm one of them.

I don't think putting expoxy glue in your mouth is a very good idea. I think the best course of action would be to get a good pair of fangs that fit over the entire bridge of your teeth. That's what I wear on Halloween when I answer the door to ToTers.

It's okay... that 18 y/o is 21 now. If they did use Epoxy, they've probably already discovered it doesn't work.

I'd have used denture creme or wax.

i agree.. denture creams usually work best
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!
