Most gems will last 2-12months (with the possibility of lasting longer) There are many factors that play a part in Retention (how long they last) but with proper care, they will last you a fair bit of time. 18k gold tooth charms may not last as long as crystal gems due to the weight of the charm being heavier

For a retainer, it depends on the type. If it is a Hawley Retainer (the wire kind), then yes. Just bring it to your appointment and i can make sure the placement of the gems doesn't interfere with it when removing or applying the retainer in the mouth. Unfortunately, if you have the clear plastic retainers (this also applies to Invisalign), it will put too much pressure on your tooth and the gem, so it's not something recommended.

No, a tooth gem shouldn't be applied on a crown or veneer. This is due to the reason that the dental adhesives used for the gems are not suitable for artificial teeth, and may actually damage the veneer/crown. We only stick gems on natural tooth tissue.

The gems are tiny glass crystals and they have no sharp edges. Essentially, the gem will come out' “the natural way" However it is always best to check with X-rays in case it has aspirated into the lungs

Not at all. The procedure is similar to placing an orthodontic bracket (braces) on a tooth. There is no drilling involved and the procedure is completely painless.

The gems are only 0.4mm or 0.9mm thick and 1.8mm to 3mm in diameter. Initially, something on your tooth will feel different, but a few days after the application, you will get used to the new feeling. If irritation on the lip arises from the gem rubbing against it, you may get it removed by a dentist.

Tooth gems are applied using professional dental adhesives, the same way an orthodontic bracket is attached to the teeth.

When done correctly tooth gems will not harm the tooth.

Yes, it is recommended. For the first 24hours you should not use an electric tooth brush. After this time you can brush as normal, because a tooth gem does offer an extra place for food or bacteria to hide. Proper dental care will ensure you have no issues.

Unfortunately I cannot remove gems. You must get this done by your dentist. If you're wanting to remove an old gem and replace with a new one: Your tooth must be free of previous crystals/bond at the time of service. The bonding agent will not attach to existing bond.
