'Twilight' is Inspiring Teens to Get Fang-Like Teeth, Dentists Say

Twilight is inspiring more than just a biting trend. Now teens are flocking to their dentists requesting temporary vampire-style fangs to get the supernatural look.

Twi-hards are paying around $200 for Vampire Veneers, which make the canine teeth longer and sharper. While the procedure isn't anything new, US dentists say there has been a surge in young patients opting for it since the vampire craze has taken off.

The procedure lasts 15 minutes, and involves attaching the veneers to the top of the teeth using a tooth-colored resin. Are they functional? Dr. Dianna Wilde of Floss Dental says yes, but Twi-hards should think twice before re-enacting scenes from Eclipse.

"In the sense that you are able to eat with them, yes, vampire veneers are functional," she explains. "Can you bite somebody on the neck? In theory, but it is not recommended. The veneer is designed to give a vampiric appeal, but not provide any sort of function beyond regular eating habits."

 

Elena Kagan Gets Asked About 'Twilight' in Her Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings

No matter where you turn, people are talking about Twilight, including U.S. senators! During her confirmation hearings this week, Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan appeared before the Senate and was presented with many topics, including how she feels about the case of Edward vs. Jacob.

In the video clip, Senator Amy Klobuchar talks about taking her children to see a midnight showing of Eclipse. With a smile, she then asks the former dean of Harvard Law School, who hasn't seen the film, about her thoughts on vampires vs. werewolves. "I wish you wouldn't," she replies.

Elena Kagan is the first woman to hold the office of Solicitor General of the United States, and, if confirmed, she'll be the fourth woman to ever sit on the U.S. Supreme Court.

But was her response to Senator Klobuchar a diss on Stephenie Meyer's beloved series? Or was she just trying to change the subject so she didn't have to talk about something she's unfamiliar with? Check out the clip and decide for yourself.

Get Your Picture Taken in Front of Bella's Pickup Truck



Bella's truck is almost like another character in the Twilight films. The 1963 Chevy has played a part in each of the released movies, and will of course make its way back to the screen in Eclipse. Now, fans have a chance to get their picture taken with the same pickup that Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner have all sat in.

From June 25 through July 4, Bella's beat-up red truck will be displayed at Universal CityWalk's Cinema Plaza in L.A. Twi-hards are encouraged to take photos of and with the car, which Stephenie Meyer said she picked out all by herself.
