What is a Snap on Smile?
Snap-On Smile is a very thin but very strong removable arch
made of crystallized acetyl resin which fits over the top of your own teeth
giving you that beautiful, natural looking smile you have always wanted!
It is affordable and an ideal solution if you have
stains, chips, gaps, crooked or missing teeth and gives you back the confidence
to smile again. It is also an excellent choice for those that are not
candidates for crowns, veneers, bridges or dental implants. The Snap-On Smile is
flexible so it snaps into place and then snaps out so is easy to wear and does
not require any adhesives or glue - it is just held in place by your natural teeth.
The appliance expands over the teeth and hugs them tightly meaning the patient
can eat and speak without it coming loose or shifting. It is available for
upper and lower teeth and can be made to cover a quadrant or to cover your
entire upper or lower arch. Upper and lower appliances can be worm
simultaneously. It is a perfect solution for patients looking for a
non-invasive and reversible approach to their cosmetic dental issues.
The Snap-On Smile is very easy to care for and can be a
permanent or temporary cosmetic solution. It allows patients to eat and drink
while wearing it because it is durable and stain resistant. Snap-On Smile will
not damage your natural teeth and most people find that their speech is
completely back to normal within 2 weeks.
How do I get a Snap on Smile?
You will need to find a Snap-On Smile dentist and at your
first appointment the dentist will determine whether you are a suitable
candidate for the Snap-On Smile. If you are then they will take an impression
of your teeth and you will pick the style and shade of your new smile. It takes
around 3-4 weeks your Snap-On Smile to be custom made for your smile and once
it is ready you will come back for a final fitting appointment at the dentist.
At this second appointment the dentist will make a few minor adjustments and
that’s it!
Does it hurt?
No. The procedure is completely painless – there is no
drilling involved and there are no injections.
How long does it last?
The Snap-On Smile appliance is expected to last several
years if cared for properly which is around the same length of time as for
other removable appliances such as night guards or partial dentures.
What is the cost?
The prices of each dentist vary obviously but an average
cost per arch would work out as approximately £900-1300.
Aftercare
The Snap-On Smile resists stains from cigarettes, wine
and coffee and comes with a cleaning kit to help you maintain its beautiful
appearance. It can be cleaned using a soft toothbrush and water (but not normal
toothpaste as this can dull the appearance). There is a Snap-On Smile cleaning
powder available which helps remove superficial stains such as coffee, tea and plaque.
