IMHO by doing this you can make it even worse and then regretting why you did not pay $150 now instead of much much more in the future.

Yeeaahhh if you're not gonna use the one your dentist makes, you might as well just stop using.

 

They charge an increasing amount so as to incentivize you not to lose them.

 

Seriously - just protect the investment. Shouldn't be hard to keep track of them.

Have you check to make sure the materials your going to use are not toxic?

Just because some idiot on YouTube did it without checking, does not mean it's safe.

 

Something can still be toxic without killing you instantly.
