CUPERTINO, Calif., Jan. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Apple Inc. approves SNAP SMILE SHARE, the first ever mobile app for iPhones and iPads to help younger orthodontic patients with their braces treatment. The app is free and available on the Apple App Store. The app was developed by Steve Schau, CEO of Fast Digital Signs, Inc., the creator of @Braces, the largest social media community of orthodontic patients with approximately twenty thousand followers on Instagram. App users can share videos of their smiles improving with other followers on @Braces.
SNAP SMILE SHARE aims to improve treatment compliance and enhance the orthodontic experience of young patients with braces. The app's first feature turns the patient's phone into a time lapse video tool which creates a short video of the patient's teeth straightening and their smile improving. In-app camera filters, picture alignment and cropping features allow the patient to take a perfect picture from their phone every time. The video is then saved to the phone's photos file for viewing or sharing with various social media accounts.
The mobile app's next feature provides patients with traditional braces a chance to "try on" different popular elastic colors. App users can gather input from friends on which colors they should select next by sharing a picture of their choice via social media. After the patient decides on their color or color combination, a picture of their selection can then be saved on their phone's camera roll and later given to their orthodontist when they change their colored ligatures.
Finally, the app's third feature sends daily text notifications to the app's user phone to remind patients to change aligners or to replace elastics and to wear their retainers.
SNAP SMILE SHARE uses the convenience of the patient's mobile phone to take the bite out braces by improving the patient's confidence in both their the treatment plan and the final results which is a new beautiful smile that will be good for life!
