How to Get a Snap-on-Smile

If you're like me, you were born with awful teeth. As an adolescent, your family didn't have the cash to fix them. Now as an adult you can't afford to fix them either. Your bad teeth slowly eat away our confidence. You no longer smile in public, when you talk you make sure your teeth don't show, and you feel constrained. There is no freedom to be who you really are Unlike breasts, hair or any other body part teeth is the single body part that gives others a window into your income level. If someone has nice teeth they either have really good genes or enough money for braces. If someone has horrible teeth they have bad genes and low income. So now, not only are you embarrassed for the sake of appearance, you're also ashamed for being poor.

Even with payment plans, Invisalign and regular braces are out of the question. The last thing a poor person needs is another bill. Not to mention, some of us are adults who would cringe at the thought of wearing metal braces for "x" amount of years. If only there could be some solution that was quick, cheap, and not embarrassing. Well, there is.

The snap on smile fits directly over your teeth. It is made of crystallized acetyl resin. Even NASA uses this material! It is strong, removable, reversible, flexible, heat tolerant and doesn't stain. So if you're a smoker or coffee drinker this would be great because your teeth won't be getting stained. Neither will your snap-on-smile because it is non-porous and made of a material that doesn't allow staining.

They can be worn daily and nightly as a brux guard if you have veneers. If you don't have veneers, it isn't a good idea to sleep in them.

The best part to me is the variety. If you hate the shape of the teeth you were born with, snap-on smile allows you to change this. You get to pick how thin or thick you want your smile to be (anywhere between .5 mm to 1 mm), you get to pick out of 23 shades, and 18 shapes of the smile that best suits you. That is literally over a 1,000 possible combinations.

Anyone is a patient! If you want to fix crooked teeth, tooth crowding, tooth space, stained teeth, teeth grinding, missing teeth, and it may raise facial height. Even if you just want it for the sake of looking nice or a special event the Snap-on-smile is for you. If in your near future you are getting married, and want a beautiful smile, you should get this as soon as possible. Remember, you're supposed to start off with soft foods. You're going to want to eat more than mashed potatoes and baby for at your wedding. Also, an event like a class reunion is ideal, where you want to impress those people who tortured you for the last 4 years of your childhood.

If dentists and their tools scare you, maybe you should get a snap-on. None of those scary tools will be used. During your visit, they take an impression of the arches of your teeth and a bite registration. You then choose the design of your snap-on smile. In 14 business days you receive the smile. If you need the smile sooner, arrangements can be made.

Unfortunately there is no refund policy, so if you get it you're stuck with it. If something happens to it, it can be remade for free 60 days after purchase. Then again, what can happen to this appliance? Unless you're hitting it with a hammer, slamming couches on it, using it as baseball or substituting it as wood in a fireplace, then your smile should be just fine.

Unlike braces, you can eat whatever you want. Although it is recommended to start off with soft foods.

Don't expect to use crest or Colgate, Snap-on-Smile is to be cleaned with Snap-on-smile's own ultrasonic cleaner, cleaning solution, andante-bacterial gel. You have to clean them after each meal and before sleeping. Yes, you are still expected to brush the teeth underneath them!

A con of the appliance is that is only lasts 3-5 years. So it is not permanent. The pro is that you can save up for a procedure like Invisalign while having a nice smile during those 3-5 years.

So how much do these costs? Anywhere from $900-1600, depending if you get one row or two and the dentist you go to. My experience is that one row cost $1,000, but the top row was all I needed. So it depends on the situation of your teeth. Either way, this price is a steal compared to other procedures.
