How should patients care for and use their Snap-On Smile, and what should I counsel them on?
Setting clear expectations with the patient at delivery improves satisfaction and the longevity of the appliance. Use the following points when counseling patients.
Eating and drinking:
- Patients may generally eat and drink normally while wearing Snap-On Smile, since the appliance is tooth-borne and does not obstruct function.
- Advise patients not to chew gum and not to eat sticky foods while wearing the appliance.
Comfort and function:
- Because it requires no adhesives and does not cover the palate, most patients adapt quickly and find it comfortable.
- The appliance is removable, so patients can take it out for cleaning and as directed.
Durability and longevity:
- Snap-On Smile is fabricated from a proprietary high-tech resin that is thin yet extremely strong. It can last for years, yet remains affordable enough to be used as a temporary solution.
- The standard warranty is 3 months, with optional extensions to 12 or 36 months. Confirm the warranty term selected for each case.
Reversibility and patient peace of mind:
- The treatment is pain-free, non-invasive, and completely reversible, since no natural tooth structure is removed during fabrication or delivery.
Remind patients that Snap-On Smile is a custom, dentist-prescribed appliance and that they should avoid "cheap imitations from unknown origins." Authentic Snap-On Smile is Made in the USA and is only available through a licensed dentist.
