künstlich vs falsch

wrong / false

Both words can be used for a replacement for something natural. „Falsch“ is often the everyday expression, as in „falschen Zähnen“ (false teeth), while „künstlich“ neutrally describes how something is made or its function as a replacement. The choice therefore depends greatly on the usual expression and the tone you want.
