Best Fake Teeths

Dressing up can be lots of fun, and it’s also something many people take very seriously. Whether for a regular dress-up party, a Halloween evening of dark spirits, or an all-out cosplay event, finding the best fake teeth is an essential part of your costume’s authenticity. People have always enjoyed dressing up, and while dress-up parties in one’s social circle are always exciting, cosplay events are often much larger, more involved events.

Cosplay is more popular than ever, and it’s made up of the words costume and play put together. All participants dress and behave in character. While there is no stage performance, cosplay gatherings can be downright theatrical. From Harry Potter to Anime, any fan base can – and usually do – host cosplay events. Cosplay events are also popular internationally, which creates a parallel demand in costuming.

Fake teeth are often a crucial part of a costume. They can add fun to your ensemble when you’re dressing up, as well as allow you to take things to the next level. So check out our list of the best fake teeth to buy for your next costume event!

• Vampire teeth: Of all the fake teeth out there, fake vampire teeth seem to be in the most demand. Fake vampire teeth are available as single fangs and teeth, as a whole ‘jaw’ that opens and closes, or as separate upper and lower sets of teeth. There are also options for retractable and extra-long fangs. Check out our list and figure out which vampire teeth best suit your needs.

• Custom-made teeth: There are also fangsmiths who are often dental technicians who use their skills to create personalized fangs or complete sets of vampire teeth to allow people to express their vampire inclinations. These custom fangs generally last longer and are more customized than pre-fabricated fangs.

• Teeth from thermoplastic beads: In addition to buying ready-made fake teeth, you can buy thermoplastic beads to make your own. Simply heat the beads, shape them to your tooth and pinch them to a downward point if you want to create fangs. When you let them dry, they turn an opaque white, and then the fake teeth can come on and off as you like.

How Do I Attach Fake Teeth?

Ready-made fake teeth can be attached using denture adhesive creams such as Fixodent, Poligrip, and Polydent. These fake teeth sometimes come with adhesive pellets, which can also be purchased separately. Check out our top ten best denture creams to find the best one for you and use it for your costume’s fake teeth!

How Much Should Fake Teeth Cost?

The cost for fake teeth can vary greatly, whether they’re off-the-shelf or custom-made:

• Purchasing online: Fake teeth can be purchased online, and prices range from $10 - $50. Check out our list of the best fake teeth to choose the one that’s best for you.

• Custom-made: Custom-made teeth range from anywhere between $130 - $400 for just two fangs. There are specialist fake teeth creators who have to be contacted directly for individual pricing. For example, Teeth by Dnash can customize a set of teeth to your exact specifications.

What are Some Special Tips About Wearing Fake Teeth?

When considering which fake teeth to purchase, there are a few things to have in mind:

• Eating and drinking: consider whether you will be able to eat and drink with them.

• Keeping your teeth clean: Speaking of drinking, remember that fake teeth won’t brush clean like your real ones. Some fake teeth can be easily stained, so you may want to avoid staining beverages like coffee, wine, or Kool-Aid while you’re wearing your fake teeth.

• Check if they affect your speech: Some fake teeth not only interfere with snacking but can even interfere with your speech. Getting used to different-sized or shaped teeth can also cause you to painfully bite your tongue until you get used to them. Online reviews of the best fake teeth usually mention these issues, so make sure to check out what other buyers have said before you decide what to buy. If you’re planning on purchasing custom teeth, discuss these issues with the vendor.

• Using denture cream: When you remove your fake teeth, if you’ve used denture cream to attach them, it may take brushing your teeth a couple of times to remove any remaining residue.

• When not to use fake teeth: Speaking of your own teeth, avoid using fake teeth if your teeth have just been cleaned, have recently had work done on them, or are just sore. Fake teeth are not recommended on top of existing braces.

Wrap Up

Fake teeth are a great way to take your costume to the next level. When you’re dressing up, you’ll want to look convincing and feel confident. No matter the style of your costume, particularly if you’re dressing up as something horror or fantasy-oriented, a striking set of fake teeth can put you fully in character. You’ll impress those around you and take your entire look up a notch by committing fully to your role. While fake teeth sold online are not a very costly investment in your cosplay, bear in mind that you may need to purchase denture cream or another adhesive, so add that to your cost calculation.
