Proper care of a Snap-On Smile or Snap-It! appliance is required just like any other dental appliance. The polymer used is long-lasting and strong, but the appliance can break if mishandled.

insertion: When inserting the appliance, determine the correct path of insertion. Then, always using both hands, start at the end or back of the appliance and apply even pressure until seated completely.

Removal: Always using both hands, start at the end or back of the appliance and gently rock the appliance from side to side and away from the teeth, following the same path of insertion. Once the appliance is removed, do not twist, bend, flex, or torque the appliance.

APPLIANCE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pour half a capful of the Snap-On Smile Cleaning Solution into a half cup of cool water. The water should cover the appliance.
2. Soak appliance for 15 minutes.
3. Remove the appliance and rinse thoroughly under running water before using. You may use a soft toothbrush on the inside of the appliance to gently remove any residue.

ANTI-BACTERIAL GEL INSTRUCTIONS
Apply a small bead of gel into the individual tooth compartments of your Snap-On Smile appliance before inserting into mouth. For best results, apply after each meal.

IF YOU RUN OUT OF CLEANING SOLUTIONS OR GEL
You may simply continue to use a soft toothbrush on the inside of the appliance to gently remove any residue; then rinse. Toothpaste or other denture soaking materials are not recommended since they are abrasive. If you would like more cleaning solution or anti-bacterial gel, please contact your dentist.
