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.

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 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.
