Snap in Teeth: What They are and Their Benefits?
If you want to get the perfect smile without going through drills and needles and the high price of permanent tooth enhancement, then snap-on teeth are what you need. Snap-on teeth are also a good option when you have missing, discolored, crooked, or chipped teeth.
What are snap-in teeth?
Snap-on veneers are a non-permanent option for dental veneers. Snap-on teeth clip on your natural teeth and don't need painful procedures. They are also an affordable option compared to braces. The snap-on teeth are created by taking a mold of your teeth and then they are customized to match the color and shape of your natural teeth. The dentist then forms snap-on teeth out of the resin material.
You can use snap-on teeth to fix issues related to stains, discoloration, and small gaps. They are a temporary option that will leave you with a brighter smile within a short time. You have to take care of your temporary veneers the same way you do with your natural teeth. You have to brush them regularly and soak them in water overnight. Snap-on teeth can last for about two years when you properly take care of them. If your snap-on teeth get damaged or worn out, your dentist will create a new pair.
Are snap-in teeth bad for your teeth?
Snap-on teeth are safe to use. The materials used in making snap-on teeth do not lead to tooth decay. However, tooth decay can arise due to built-up food particles if you don't brush regularly. Make sure you clean your snap-on veneers properly.
