As long as you have most of your teeth a Snap on Smile is suitable for you. A smile assessment will be done, including photos and a discussion on your desired size, shape and colour of your teeth. An impression will be taken of both your upper and lower arches and these will be sent to the USA. In approximately 6 weeks time, you come back for a final fitting and you wear your Snap on Smile home.
