A gum mask has small projections that go between the teeth at the base of the teeth to hold the mask in place. Saliva and lip pressure increase the retention. If you have a gum mask, it will stay in place so you can smile and speak with confidence. You can even eat with confidence while wearing your gum mask.

The gum mask is very pliable and emulates the appearance of gum tissue. Placing the gum mask on and removing it for cleaning are easy. Patients love wearing them. They appear natural, enhance the smile, and give patients the confidence to smile. They stay in place while patients eat, drink, speak, and laugh…through all kinds of oral function.
