No! The gems will bond to the enamel, like an orthodontic bracket, without any drilling or pain. The procedure and removal is similar to the placement and removal of orthodontic brackets.

Yes, you can and should still have your teeth cleaned by a professional. Tooth jewellery will not cause a problem for the hygienist cleaning your teeth.

For a retainer, it depends on the type. If it is a Hawley Retainer (the wire kind), yes! Just make sure the placement of the gems doesn’t interfere with it. Unfortunately, if you have the clear plastic tray type (this also applies to Invisalign), it will put too much pressure on your tooth and the gem, so it’s not something that we would recommend.
