I’ve only got about four teeth left, and wondered if snap on smile would be a good solution for me?

Joanne,
Unfortunately, Snap-on Smile would not work in your case. It would just put too much stress on your remaining teeth, putting you at risk for losing all your teeth. You have several other options though.
The best option is to get dental implants. They are permanent and secure. They look and function just like your natural teeth did, and they protect you from facial collapse. The downside is they are the most expensive option. If they are unattainable for you, you can look into partial dentures. With the amount of teeth you have missing, you would need the partial dentures that rest mostly on soft tissue.
