Q1: What are the criteria for designing TWiNY’s shades? Compared with other products,how well does TWiNY match with the colors listed in the VITA Classical Shade Guide?

TWiNY is designed based on the colors of the VITA Classical Shade Guide (the VITA Guide), so as to reproduce their characteristics.

TWiNY can therefore express similar shades to those of the VITA Guide by application of basic shades. Compared with other products, TWiNY shades are more similar to those of the VITA Guide.

Q5: The shade looks rather grey when TWiNY is applied in the same way as Luna-Wing. Is there any solution for this problem?

This happens because TWiNY Enamel shades are darker than Luna-Wing. Please try an enamel that is whiter by 1 level, such as using E2 instead of E3.

Q6: The difference between the Dentine shade of Enamel and Cervical seems small. Enamel and Cervical look similar with Dentine and there is no visible variation in accent when they are applied.

TWiNY is designed to be similar to VITA Guide shades. Please keep using Dentine but try the following steps:

Cervical
Heighten chroma by choosing a darker shade, CA2 instead of CA1, or by applying MO, Margin Opaque.

Enamel
Choose a whiter shade, E2 or E1 instead of E3. In cases where contrast is needed, apply Translucent or Effect shades, or use stain on the inside.

Q7: To express translucency, I used WE (White Enamel), Enamel (Enamel) and T (Translucent), but the result was that whiteness was emphasized.Even though T-Glass is the most translucent, it was not translucent enough.

Luna-Wing Stain Clear can solve this problem between dentine mamelons. Alternatively, staining T or T-Glass with Stain Blue or Blue and using TWiNY T Blue Flow can create a translucent look artificially. The color and viscosity of Stain can be adjusted by adding Stain Clear to Stain.
