Snap-On Smile Evaluation & Rx

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document serves as an evaluation and prescription form for Snap-On Smile, a dental appliance designed for full arch or full mouth reconstruction. It provides guidelines for patient consultation, smile design, and best practices to ensure successful outcomes.
Specifications: Snap-On Smile is an additive appliance that fits over existing teeth, increasing their size. Key design considerations include tooth numbers, desired length, alignment, occlusion, vertical dimension of occlusion (V.D.O.), shade, shape, and gingival margins.
Procedures: The document details a step-by-step process for patient consultation, smile evaluation, and appliance design. It includes instructions for taking impressions using the Air-Syringe Impression Technique with SplashMax materials to accurately capture gingival margins.
Best Practices: Important considerations include maintaining natural tooth alignment to prevent bulkiness, understanding the effects of altering the vertical dimension of occlusion, and ensuring adequate tooth-borne retention. Collaboration with DenMat Lab is advised for complex cases.
Recommendations: The use of the DenMat Snap-On Smile Shade Guide is recommended for accurate shade matching, along with digital previews for better visualization. Full-face photos and bite registrations are suggested for lab reference.
Warranty: DenMat offers a one-year limited warranty for defects in materials or workmanship, with specific conditions for repair or replacement. The warranty excludes existing crowns, bridgework, or dental fees related to repairs.
Additional Services: Options for digital previews, duplicate appliances, and rush services are available, with associated fees.
Warranty Coverage: The warranty does not cover breakage or loss during ordinary use, nor damage from accidents, abuse, improper installation, or dental hygiene issues. If DenMat Lab inquiries are ignored and the customer proceeds, the product is made without warranty. To claim warranty, all models and impressions must be returned for evaluation. Additional fees may apply if discrepancies arise, and a deposit is invoiced if the original product is not returned.
Legal Rights: Warranty rights vary by country. Some countries do not allow exclusion of incidental damages or limitations on implied warranty duration, so these limitations may not apply universally.
Clinical Indications: Snap-On Smile is used for aesthetic replacement of partials, implant provisionals, cosmetic enhancements, interim smiles, diagnostic tools, and for medically compromised patients or those unable to afford extensive treatments.
Emotional Indications: Snap-On Smile addresses emotional needs by improving appearance and confidence, particularly beneficial for events like weddings, reunions, or job searches, helping patients who feel hopeless due to costly treatment plans.

Other comments by patient on what they would like to change about their smile:________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Based on the smile evaluation, what “can” and “can’t” be accomplished with a Snap-On Smile additive process? If you’re not sure if all the patient’s issues can be solved with a Snap-On Smile, call your DenMat Lab Consultant (800) 872-8384 x5520. Step 2 Designing the Smile with the Patient Snap-On Smile will add a minimum of .5mm - .75mm of buccal and lingual thickness and at least .75mm of occlusal thickness. DenMat sells a Snap-On Smile Starter Kit with a demo model and appliance designed to show patients exactly how this technology works. What tooth numbers does the appliance cover? Upper Appliance: Tooth#_______ to #_______ Lower Appliance: Tooth#_______to #_______ 2. Provide the desired length of teeth (discuss with patient) #8 ______mm #9 ______mm Design laterals ______mm shorter vs. the centrals • Make this decision with your patient. The average length for a central is 10-11mm #24 ______mm #25 ______mm Design laterals ______mm shorter vs. the centrals • Make this decision with your patient. The average length for lower centrals is 7-8mm *Appliance will always add at least 1mm in length to natural teeth. 3. Alignment (discuss with your patient if alignment is an issue) Enhance the alignment (recommended) • Enhancement is often the best choice vs. ideal alignment to avoid bulky and oversized teeth. • Call your DenMat Snap-On Smile Consultant if you have any questions. Idealize the alignment • ll teeth are brought out to be in alignment with the most prominent anterior tooth. Caution: using the most prominent tooth as the guide can A sometimes add too much bulk. Review the most prominent tooth and determine consequences of bulk to align. An improvement/esthetic enhancement may be the better choice. Keep existing alignment — keep bulk and size of the teeth to a minimum. Please call to discuss when you receive the case. 4. Occlusion (refer to “Best Practices” on page 4 for important considerations) eave an anterior open centric — minimize lingual bulk on the maxillary teeth and/or lower L anterior flare, thickness and length. E stablish or maintain anterior centric occlusion — this may cause the lingual of the anterior teeth to be bulky. When making an upper and lower appliance, the lower anteriors may have to be flared and lengthened facially to maintain centric occlusion, which the patient may not tole

Shade – The DenMat Snap-On Smile® Shade Guide is strongly recommended since it is made of the same material as the appliance.

Snap-On Smile® Best Practices Alignment — Perfection is not always best. It is important to discuss relevant considerations with the patient to ensure the final smile design meets their expectations. Always be cognizant of the end result and the size of the teeth. Correcting alignment, especially on anteriors, and using the most prominent tooth as the guide can sometimes add too much bulk. Too much bulk can lead to a rejected case. Try to follow and work within the boundaries of nature and the patient’s natural dentition when possible. Have the lab add minimal bulk and length to all the teeth,...
