Work well, but not perfect
I have a missing molar that's visible when I smile. I'm planning to get an implant, but in the meantime have been using this method to fill the gap, and this is the second product I've tried. The first I used came as two little lumps that looked like teeth, though only part of a lump was needed at each use. It was perfect in function, but hard to soften up, and also once in place it stained quickly. When I needed to change it because of color, it was incredibly hard to remove because it's pretty resistant to softening up. That was a real plus when in use, but a real problem when I was trying to get it out. It was so difficult that I eventually tried these beads instead. They are MUCH easier to use because they are so quickly moldable when exposed to hot water, which makes them easy to remove, too, when the time comes to change the piece out. All in all, this product works well for me, with a couple of things to note -- once you've formed a tooth in place with this product, it starts out really, really white, unnaturally so. It will eventually tone down, as you eat and drink foods, but it is not at all natural looking at first. But on the up side, it does resist staining longer than the other product, which is a plus once it's toned down in whiteness. A couple of tips -- first, this product becomes completely clear as you soften it in hot water. It goes through a grayish stage as it's cooling, but it eventually cools to white, so hang in there with it once you've placed it. Second, I've found that using a syringe to apply hot water when you want to soften it to remove is very effective. Third -- this product in particular is easily moldable with heat, so you do have to be cautious when eating hot foods, more so than the other product I used. It definitely needed replacing sooner because it eventually deformed, but that said, the color stayed decent a much longer time. All in all, four stars -- decent product, easy to use, some detractors but still gets the job done without the stress of being super difficult to remove.

Works well for fangs
I did not need as much as I thought I would for this project! It took some time and a few tries but it worked very well for making these fangs! Will need to refine it a bit more but I'm very happy. If you're looking for something for costume teeth, this will work. Most likely I will use some tea or coffee to help stain them to match my teeth better. I have enough left to probably make 2 or 3 more of these.If you're looking at this for non costume purposes, I think it will work very well. Even with the extra length on my teeth I can easily drink. Eating is more of a challenge because of the shape but I can do it if I chew carefully. Would recommend molding it around a few teeth to make it sturdy enough to stay in place.My process for this was I dropped the beads into hot water, pulled out the melted plastic with a spoon, give it a few seconds to cool then take it off the spoon. Start rolling it around on your fingers to help it harden a little bit before applying. You don't have to apply it all at once, it will stay soft enough to add more for a few minutes. Put enough on to cover the area you want and mold it around your natural teeth. Bite down to make sure you'll be able to fully close your teeth when it's hardened. Add small amounts to build where you need to build and carefully sculpt it. I used a pimple tool to make lines between my teeth to make it look more natural. Wet your fingers and rub them over it to smooth it out and shape as you go. Try not to go too far over your gum line as you'll need to remove the excess later or it will be uncomfortable. Once you have it how you want, keep your mouth open to allow it to cool. Once it cools enough to hold its shape, carefully remove it and then allow it to cool fully and harden. Trim away any excess around the gums or bits you don't need. A dremel will work well to finish smoothing and shaping after it's hardened.If at any point you need to start over, you definitely can heat it and start over. DO NOT recommend trying to eat or drink anything that is very hot or it will soften again and possibly ruin your work.
