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.

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.

What To Expect When Receiving A Snap-On Smile
Before treatment can begin, people must have an initial examination to determine whether they are a viable candidate. If they are a good candidate, we will take an impression of the patient's teeth and color match their teeth. Then we will send the impressions to a lab where technicians will spend several days creating molds and perfecting a custom-fit appliance.
The process of creating a customized Snap-On Smile can take up to three weeks. Once completed, the patient will return for a fitting of the final piece. During this visit, we will make any necessary adjustments for an optimal fit. Once the patient is satisfied with the feel and fit, they can wear their Snap-On Smile home.

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.
