Start the Impression-Taking Process
Here’s a quick summary
- Mixing: Put on the gloves and thoroughly blend the base and catalyst for 40 seconds until the mixture is a uniform color without any white streaks.
- Rolling: Form the mixed putty into a ball, then quickly roll it into a sausage within 5-10 seconds.
- Placing: Spread the putty evenly into the tray with your fingers within 5-10 seconds, ensuring there's enough material to cover the entire arch, from molar to molar. (Tip: Avoid pressing down too hard.)
- Setting: Set the material using your palm and finger within 5-10 seconds.
- Place the tray in your mouth, aligning the handle under your nose, and keep it in place for 4 minutes.
- Bite down gently in the center of the putty, avoiding contact with the outer or inner edges of the tray.
- To remove the tray, use a swift motion: pull downward for the upper arch or upward for the lower arch.
If you need impressions for both arches, follow the same steps to create impressions for the lower teeth. Complete all four impressions using this process.
Once finished, send your dental impressions along with any unused trays back to us using the prepaid return label provided.
