Good Candidates for Snap-On Smile
People experiencing various dental issues, such as gaps, cracked teeth, chipped teeth, discolored or stained teeth, or missing teeth, are good candidates for Snap-On Smile. It is a viable solution for patients who may not have the time or money required to invest in a more intense tooth restoration option. Patients looking for a temporary smile makeover for a special occasion such as a wedding or birthday could also benefit from it.
Snap-On Smile works well for patients with certain health concerns, such as heart disease, which can prevent them from undergoing extensive dental work. Because of how minimally invasive it is, it is a good alternative to cosmetic dental surgery. Patients may want to try if they are not sure about which type of dental restoration treatment to choose.
“It is a viable solution for patients who may not have the time or money required to invest in a more intense tooth restoration option.”
Snap-On Smile Benefits
Many patients benefit from Snap-On Smile because of its lower price when compared to other types of tooth restoration options. It is also a dental solution that does not require an invasive surgical procedure to fix a patient's smile. According to a study from the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, having unsightly teeth leads to lower self-esteem. Using Snap-On Smile may help people unhappy with their appearance get a self-confidence boost.
Snap-On Smile uses a unique design to fit comfortably over a patient's current teeth. It is a cosmetic option for patients with tooth issues that cause them embarrassment. According to the American Dental Association, one in four people avoid smiling due to a condition affecting their teeth. This solution is one way to help patients feel more comfortable smiling again.

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 for Long-Term Maintenance
With proper care and maintenance, a Snap-On Smile should last several years. We recommend removing the device at night and storing it in a protective case. Wearers will have to adjust their diet. They should avoid food and drinks that can stain, including beverages such as coffee, tea, and red wine and food such as blueberries.
It is also best to avoid sticky, chewy foods, including ice, and biting hard objects. Although a Snap-On Smile consists of a sturdy resin, it can crack if sufficient force is applied. A Snap-On Smile wearer should clean their device after every time they remove it. Soaking the device and gently brushing it will remove debris and bacteria so that people can maintain healthy smiles.

Caring for Snap-On Smile
Caring for a Snap-On Smile is easy with the help of Snap-On Smile's unique cleaning solution. Patients should use this cleanser daily. A 15-minute soak in the solution helps remove stains such as tea and coffee, as well as plaque buildup. The American Dental Association also recommends that people avoid using toothpaste or household cleaners to clean their removable appliances. Toothpaste can be abrasive and damage the polish.
It is also important to thoroughly rinse the appliance to remove any food particles. Patients should handle their device carefully to avoid chipping and breaking dental appliances. Fill the sink with water and place a folded towel over the edges while cleaning. These precautions offer a dropped device a soft place to land.
