What Is a Snap-On Smile®?

A beautiful smile can enhance your appearance and boost your confidence. Unfortunately, not everyone comes into the world with perfect teeth. Some people experience dental problems such as tooth loss, misalignment, or discoloration. For them, a Snap-On Smile® offers a quick, painless, and affordable alternative to traditional braces or dental implants. 

 

What Is a Snap-on Smile?

A Snap-On Smile is a removable dental appliance that covers your natural teeth to accentuate them. It is a thin, flexible resin material that snaps onto your teeth, providing a natural-looking smile. The appliance, custom-made for each patient, can help cover up dental imperfections such as gaps, stains, or crooked teeth.

Who Can Benefit From a Snap-On Smile?

A Snap-On Smile is ideal for people looking to improve their smile without undergoing complex and invasive dental procedures. It suits those with various dental issues, including missing teeth, gaps, or discoloration. 

It is also suitable for people who, for various reasons, are not eligible candidates for conventional braces or dental implants. The reasons could be age, health issues, and financial limitations.
