Good Candidates for a Snap-On Smile
A Snap-On Smile covers teeth to give people an attractive, natural-looking smile. This device is a great alternative for people who want to improve their smile but do not want to undergo complex and invasive dental procedures. They are an excellent choice for people with gaps, misaligned, missing, or stained teeth. Anyone with cosmetic removable partial dentures and wants a more comfortable and modern alternative can also benefit from a Snap-On Smile.
Snap-On Smiles are not right for everyone. People who have the following are not good candidates:
- Broken teeth
- Cavities
- Chipped teeth
- Gum disease
- Other oral problems
- Severely crooked teeth
“They are an excellent choice for people with gaps, misaligned, missing, or stained teeth.”
Benefits of Snap-On Smile
The largest benefit of a Snap-On Smile is a more attractive smile. A smile is often one of the first things people notice in others. For those with missing or chipped teeth, fillings, or discoloration, smiling can be something they avoid or hide. A Snap-On Smile can give people an open, friendly smile that positively affects their personal and professional life.
Another benefit of this device is that it is a non-invasive procedure. While other treatment alternatives involve removing the enamel, Snap-On Smiles fit over natural teeth without the need for alteration. Multiple orthodontic treatments can take years to complete. They can produce dramatic results in as little as two appointments.

The Waiting Period for Receiving Snap-On Smile
The process of receiving a Snap-On Smile should only take a few weeks. Patients start the treatment process by having a consultation where our team will assess their dental history and current status to determine if Snap-On Smile is a viable option. Then we will take an impression of the patient's mouth and teeth.
We may talk to the patient about the style and shade of the dental appliance before sending the impressions to a dental lab. After two or three weeks, the Snap-On Smile is ready from the lab. Patients will come into the dentist's office to try on the device. We will use this appointment to make any adjustments, offer care instructions, and how the patient how to snap the appliance on and off.

Lifestyle Changes With Snap-On Smile
Patients will need to make some lifestyle changes with Snap-On Smile to ensure that the appliance remains clean and functional. While many patients experience no problems with eating while wearing the device, it may be better to remove it during meals. Be sure to treat your Snap-On Smile like you would normal teeth, though, as leaving food and residue on them can taint their beauty and reduce their years. At the end of the day, make sure to remove your Snap-On Smile with two hands.
Careless behavior can cause unwanted damages or early malfunction. Although the appliance is durable, it can break with sufficient force, so patients should avoid chewing on ice or objects like pens and pencils. We also recommend avoiding staining foods, such as wine, coffee, or tea. Gum and sticky foods are also better to avoid when wearing them. Most dentists advise patients to remove Snap-On Smile when eating to avoid excessive wear and tear.

Snap-On Smile Care Instructions
Patients should use the cleaning kit and unique solution that came with their Snap-On Smile to keep it in good condition.

After soaking and rinsing, it is still necessary to brush the inside of the appliance with a soft-bristled toothbrush and water to remove any residual debris. People should also remove their appliances between meals and rinse them thoroughly. It is essential for patients to clean their Snap-On Smile every day.
