I would like to improve my smile by fixing the spacing between my teeth. I’m looking for quick and affordable way to make my teeth look straight. I really can’t afford costly cosmetic dentist work. What is your opinion of the Snap-On Smile appliance?

Shelly,
If you’re looking for a temporary and inexpensive way to improve the appearance of your smile, then the Snap-On Smile appliance will work. Most dentists should be able to do this for you since it only involves taking an impression of your teeth and choosing a color shade and smile design. Then the dentist will send it New York to be created in the laboratory.
I believe the appliance will cost you between $1000 and $1500 as opposed to this same price for just one porcelain veneer. This appliance should last you anywhere from 3 to 5 years if worn daily, and then you can pop out when you don’t want to wear it.
Another affordable and longer lasting alternative to the Snap-On Smile is a technique called direct tooth bonding, but you would need to go to an expert cosmetic dentist who has artistic ability for this. Direct tooth bonding involves adding tooth-colored composite to both sides of your teeth where you want to correct the gap. Although, using this method depends on how many gaps you have between your teeth because direct tooth bonding should not be used for complete smile makeovers.
