Snap-On Smile® in Newport Beach, CA
A Non-Invasive Way to Change How Your Smile Looks
Snap-On Smile is an easy, non-invasive alternative for patients who want an instantly improved appearance without permanent dental work. It is a custom-made arch of teeth that fits over your own, and you can put it in and take it out yourself.
What Is Snap-On Smile?
Snap-On Smile is a removable cosmetic appliance: a thin, custom-made arch of teeth that snaps over your existing teeth. It is made from impressions of your own smile, so it is shaped to fit your mouth. Because it sits over your natural teeth rather than replacing or reshaping them, no tooth structure is drilled away. It can cover the look of stained, chipped, gapped or uneven teeth while it is in place. When you take it out, your natural teeth are just as they were.
