With proper care and maintenance, a Snap-On Smile appliance can last between two and five years. Taking care of your appliance is as simple as following a few guidelines:
Soak your appliance in its cleaning solution for 15 minutes each day
Clean your appliance upon removal
Store your appliance in a safe, clean place when not in use
Avoid hot liquids and teeth-staining foods
It’s also essential to maintain good oral hygiene, such as brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing daily. We also encourage our patients to schedule biannual appointments at our Loveland office for routine dental exams and cleanings. Dr. Howard can examine your teeth and determine whether your appliance needs to be modified, fixed, or replaced.
