Snap on smile is a removable appliance that goes over the patients teeth, thus you can change the color and shape of teeth.
Having said that ,lets discuss pros and cons as it relates to cosmetic dentistry,performed by cosmetic dentist.
The PROS are: there is no anesthetic involved,it is reversible (if you do not like it ,you do not wear it),usually no drilling involved,dentist can use it as a diagnostic tool for the bite and possibly tmj (tmd),possibility of cosmetic enhancement when it is INDICATED,it can be a precursor to thin dental veneers, lumineers , or porcelain veneers,it can close spaces to a certain extent,overcoming DENTAL PHOBIA,possibly immediate dratification, it is a quick fix to get white smile ,and it is the fraction of the cost of placing 10 plus veneers.
the CONS can be the following:they are fragile,so they can fracture or break,since it goes over your teeth , they are going to appear BULKIER than your teeth ,they will not have the same look as your natural teeth or a well made porcelain veneer, it is compromised smile makeover , it is not recommended for severe bruxer or clencher ,possibility of fracture does exist.,and it does not last as long of other cosmetic treatments.,it can interfere with phoentics and SPEECH,since they are longer than your own teeth and they are joined.,it is not indicated for people who like their existing length and width of their teeth ,and do not want them altered.
It is my opinion that the AESTHETIC DENTIST or the esthetic dentist should evaluate the patient ,take necessary records ,ask patient needs and wants ,then discuss all options,pros and cons to patient.
