  • where do you get these teeth

  • BRING THESE BACK ! ! ! I can't afford even $1500- I'm on an extremely limited income. People deserve to have an alternative to look good, without having to spend their grocery money to have a lovely smile !

  • I have the Snap on Smile and is the ugliest, most worthless piece of crap that i hve ever seen! they cost me $1,500! And they are practically halloween teeths, they are plastic! They hurt, you can't speak or eat! I want my money back!!!

  • This video is about the Overlay Cosmetic Appliance and not the Snap on Smile. It has a metal understructure which is similar to a dental bridge but costs much less. Because there are no capable dental technicians left, I contacted dental manufacturers to help me modify existing equipment to ease the construction process. After everyone refused to help, I decided to leave the dental industry and left no records how the appliance is made.

  • Never give up. Maybe you can find someone overseas. I went to a dentist who showed me an example that were made for him/his practice and they looked clownish. He said that he was recruited by the manufactures, but wasn't very excited about them.

  • The public's trust in the mainstream media is at an all time low. Today's journalists are becoming lazy and as soon as a story pops up by a competitor, rather than finding sources to back up the information, the media outlets form packs and report the story without backing up the information. I did some investigating about the snap on teeth appliance and came to the conclusion that the media by publicizing the appliance caused other dentists to jump aboard to cash in on its popularity.

  • This video is about the Overlay Cosmetic Appliance that has concealed hooks for retention and metal chewing surfaces for durability. Unfortunately this appliance is no longer available because dentistry wants to preserve the big profits made on crowns and veneers. After the story was aired on NBC news stations in 2004, a few dentists determined to cash in on its popularity, with the help of the media, started advertising a plastic appliance that has been around for thirty years.

  • Whats the plastic appliance ??

  • NBC reported this story first and right after the story was aired, it went in a different direction on other news networks. Why?
