Snap-On Smile is a multi-purpose restorative appliance that requires no preparation of tooth structure, is non-invasive and is completely reversible. It is a removable appliance made of tooth-colored acetyl resin and is intended to be worn over the existing teeth. It can be designed as a full-arch or unilateral device and may be used to replace missing teeth. Snap-On Smile is indicated for upper and lower teeth as a short- or long-term option, for establishing vertical dimension before starting full-mouth reconstruction, as a diagnostic tool, as a provisional for implant restorations, for cosmetic enhancement of color or alignment, and as a removable partial denture. Snap-On Smile can be made as thin as 0.5 mm and is available in 19 shades.
