New Dental Product


Snap on Teeth

THIS HOLIDAY SEASON LITERALLY SNAP ON A NEW SET OF SPARKLING WHITE TEETH AS QUICKLY AS YOU



Money can buy just about anything these days, including a movie star smile. But that mouthful of pearly white caps and veneers loses some of its shine if it costs tens of thousands of dollars. An amazing new invention, Snap on Teeth, instantly transforms old-looking teeth into pearly whites just in time of the holidays and at a fraction of the cost of other dental procedures. The device was invented by a Chicago dental technician, whose own teeth were so bad he spoke like a ventriloquist because he would not expose his mouth. The few patients and their dentists who have tried Snap on Teeth say it could eventually replace more costly procedures such as dentures and veneers.


Dr. Marc Liechtung is a Manhattan cosmetic and restorative dentist who is among a handful of dentists in this country to use this breakthrough technique in his practice.


Dr. Liechtung makes a dental impression of existing teeth in order to create a customized prosthetic model that actually snaps onto the back teeth. The patients’ posterior teeth are used as an anchor for the snap on teeth through the use of concealed hooks that attach onto the remaining teeth. No damage or irreversible treatment is done to existing the teeth.


For those who desire whiter or straighter teeth, this invention is a much quicker and infinitely more cost effective option. The estimated cost for Snap on Teeth ranges from two to three thousand dollars. Snap on Teeth are highly recommended for people who have worn, discolored teeth, and for those who have ground down their teeth. They may also be used by patients who are missing several teeth as long as there are posterior teeth present to support the Snap on Teeth.


These Snap on Teeth serve both functional and esthetic purposes and can also be used in lieu of dentures. Like dentures, Snap on Teeth are removable. However, they are more accurate and less bulky. Unlike dentures, patients can transform their entire smile while still maintaining their existing teeth because the Snap on Teeth are simply placed over the originals. Dentures only replace the missing teeth and the appearance of the remaining teeth remains unchanged. Additionally, Snap on Teeth can preserve original teeth that have been ground down by TMJ because they serve as a guard to protect the remaining teeth from further occlusal wear.


Snap on Teeth can be worn all the time, even while sleeping, and only require removal in order to clean the underlying teeth and device. Dr. Liechtung is quick to point out that dental hygiene is extremely important, because food can get inside the appliance. Therefore, brushing after every meal is crucial.
 
My patient yesterday asked me about those, she said she saw a commercial on the television for them. I told her that I wasn't specifically aware of the product.

What a crock though, and typical of our society. Neglect the reason why your teeth are stained, decayed, yellow, and crooked, and simply cover them up with a snap-on product.

Of course, those patients won't be too happy when the teeth used for retention rot away.

Hey, works for me. I'll just make sure to counsel my patients that these pretend teeth will make good practice for the other set they'll need in a few years.

No kidding about that.

I've seen a couple of people with mandibular dentures, not retained by implants or anything, and those suckers just float on a non-existant ridge.
 
Sounds like "Lee Press-On Teeth".
