Impression Kit Guide

Put an empty tray into your mouth to make sure it fits correctly. This is very important to making a good first impression.

Take one “Dark” putty container and one “Light” putty container and quickly mix putty together to form one solid color. The putty hardens quickly, finish mixing within 30 seconds.

• Roll putty into a 4-inch long cylinder and place inside the tray.
• Make sure putty fills the entire tray, so that we can capture all of your teeth.

• Using your fingers, center the prepared tray over your teeth and press with your fingers. Press all the way, a little past the gum line, until you can ALMOST feel the bottom of the tray. Be sure not to hit the bottom of the tray.
• Using continuous pressure, pull your lip over the tray and hold for 3 and half minutes.

Using your fingers, carefully remove tray by pulling straight down (upper tray) or up (lower tray) until free from your teeth. Do not wiggle the tray while removing. Set tray aside.

Important: DON’T touch impression material when removing or afterward, as it can alter your impression.

You’ll need two impressions of your upper teeth and two of your lower teeth.
