Before you take your at-home impression, be sure you carefully read all directions. You will need access to a sink, a clock/timer, and a clean working environment. Brush your teeth, wash your hands & all impression trays, and set up your supplies. Check which impression tray best fits your upper arch by placing the impression tray in your upper arch, keeping your lips outside the tray. Put the other trays aside, you will not need these. You are now ready to follow the 10 easy steps to creating your upper arch impression.
- Open the two impression putty containers.
- Set a timer for four (4) minutes.
- For 30 seconds, fold and mix together the two putties, like you would with clay or play-doh. There should be no streaks when putty is well mixed.
- Roll mixed putty into a snake-like shape and place this in the correctly sized impression tray.
- Wash your hands to prepare for taking your upper arch impression.
- Start Step 7 with at least 3:00 left on the timer.
- Keeping your lips outside of the impression tray, firmly press the impression tray against your upper teeth. Place your thumbs on your molars to press the tray. Press until the tray is stopped by your teeth.
