Who would order a yellow snap on smile?

I can’t believe I was having this ridiculous conversation with a dentist. She is not my regular dentist because my dentist doesn’t do snap on smile. Maybe I see why now. I got the thing and it fits right but it’s yellow. Who in the world would order a yellow snap on smile? She says it’s the color I approved. Also I cannot believe the lab would not question the color. I am disgusted and disappointed. Now what? Ally

Ally – Your concern is understandable. No one who wants to seriously improve his or her smile would ask for yellow teeth. You can respectfully speak with your dentist again about your disappointment, and ask what can be done to resolve it.

A Snap-On Smile is a colorfast appliance that fits over your natural teeth. Although the color of the appliance cannot be changed, it can be remade in the color of your choice.

We strongly encourage patients to ensure they have good and clear communication with a cosmetic dentist before receiving any treatment. Ask for a visual example of what you will receive. If you receive a restoration that was not what you wanted, immediately make it known to the dentist.

Snap on smile or Invisalign?

I really want to change the way my teeth look but I don’t want other people to notice that I am doing it. I was thinking about Invisalign but I recently heard about the Snap on smile which will give me the best results the fastest? – Chelsee

Chelsee – Invisalign and the Snap-On Smile are two completely different solutions.

Invisalign® is an orthodontic treatment that straightens your teeth with clear aligners that are virtually invisible. The aligners are changed every two weeks to move your teeth to a new position. Treatment time is shorter than braces, but Invisalign is a little more expensive than braces. The aligners will precisely straighten your teeth.

A Snap-On Smile is an inexpensive cosmetic treatment that is made of plastic resin. It’s a new smile that snaps right over your teeth. It doesn’t straighten your natural teeth or enhance them in any way. The new smile design is placed over your teeth, and it’s meant to be temporary or to be used on special occasions. The Snap-On Smile will wear out quickly if you wear it every day.

If you want a permanent smile makeover, Invisalign or some other form of cosmetic dentistry will help. If you want to put a new smile over your teeth for special occasions only, you may consider the Snap-On Smile. But you need to visit a cosmetic dentist first so that you will have realistic expectations for whatever treatment you choose.
