SOUTHAVEN, Miss. (PRWEB) April 13, 2021 Recently, there have been trending dental hacks videos on the social media platform TikTok, which have created mayhem in the dental community. These videos are spreading false information, which can have severe consequences on an individual s oral health.
One of the dental hacks that have gone viral is a TikTok trend alleging that prosthetic teeth can be made out of Insta Morph beads. A TikTok influencer created a series of videos in which she describes how she came up with a cheaper alternative to partial dentures (also known as a flipper). The TikToker purchased a pack of InstaMorph beads, which are plastic beads that can be heated and shaped into a variety of shapes, and demonstrated how to make her own flipper. The video series has earned over one million views.
