Snap-on Smile Appliance
A snap-on smile is a modern dental option. It allows us to treat patients with crooked or missing teeth without performing the teeth whitening procedure or treating them with porcelain veneers. The snap-on smile appliance provides patients with a flawless smile without making them sit in a dental chair for prolonged durations.
The best thing about this device is that it is flexible and highly durable. It fits comfortably over the teeth and gums and very well hides the dental imperfections of the patients. There is no need for remolding or drilling. It is also a minimally invasive procedure and is less expensive when compared to other procedures.
What Dental Issues Do a Snap-on Smile Address?
You can opt for a snap-on smile if you are suffering from misaligned teeth and your finances do not permit you to go for an orthodontic treatment. This handy device doesn’t permanently alter the state of your natural teeth but helps maintain a proper alignment of the teeth.
In this way, it can not only boost your confidence but can also help you look attractive and appealing. Snap-on smile is also helpful for treating stained or discolored teeth. It doesn’t change the color of the teeth that you were born with, but hides the stains from onlookers.
What is Snap-on Smile Made Up of?
Snap-on smile is primarily made up of acetyl resin, which is durable as well as resistant to staining. The material can be cut as thin as 5mm, thereby making it ideal for daily biting and chewing.
The thickness required entirely depends on the overall result; for example, if you have very small teeth in proportion to your face, then we would have a slightly thicker snap-on created for adding more bulk to the teeth.
The high-quality resin present in it makes it natural-looking and makes contouring easy. There is no need for you to worry about reshaping as it doesn't affect the strength of your teeth in any way.
What Are the Pros of Snap-on Smile?
- It is reversible. No modification is required for fitting the appliance.
- It doesn't matter what you eat, a snap-on smile has no effect on the diet.
- It is affordable when compared to other dental procedures, such as invisalign®, dental implants, and dental veneers.
- It helps treat crooked teeth, crowded teeth, stained teeth, and worn-down teeth.
- It is way more comfortable than partial dentures.
How Long Does Snap-on Smile Last?
Snap-on smiles are temporary fixtures. Thus, they are built to last long. The human jaw undergoes intense load and pressure each day, so it is quite difficult to manufacture an appliance that can not only handle the daily grind but can also repair the crooked or missing tooth. This is where the snap-on smile appliance steps in. It is the best alternative to people who are not happy with the quality of their smile and are looking for some options to improve it.
For best results from your snap-on smile, you should make sure not to wear it always, especially while sleeping. If you have problems with grinding or clenching, it can make your snap-on wear out faster. In some cases, we use it on patients suffering from bruxism, but we make sure to advise those patients to use this appliance only when it is required.
We mention all the details in the prescription. Also, cleaning the device becomes easy if they are not always worn. Our dentist in Gilbert will guide you thoroughly whenever you visit us to get your crooked or misaligned teeth treated.
If you think you will need the device every day, then you definitely can! But, you must make sure to clean it every time you eat and obviously before going to bed. Additionally, you should take care that it doesn't stain or break due to improper usage or due to improper handling. Though it is strong and can handle regular activities without any issues, it can crack if it is twisted or pressed with excessive force.
We always recommend using a specialized product that can break down the plaque build-up on the synthetic material of the appliance to remove every kind of stain from food or drink. You will have to soak the device in the cleaning solution recommended by us for about fifteen minutes every day and brush lightly with a toothbrush.
You should not use toothpaste, soap, washing liquid, or powder during the process. You will then have to store the appliance in a carry case. Always remember to keep it in a safe and secure place, and definitely out of the reach of the children.
