DIY Dental Impression Guide for Custom Grillz

To ensure your custom grillz fit perfectly, we require an accurate dental impression of your teeth.

Our DIY Impression Kit makes the process simple and convenient, allowing you to take your own mold at home and send it back to us for production. Follow this step-by-step guide to create a high-quality impression.

What’s Included in the DIY Impression Kit?

✅ Dental impression trays (upper and lower) – Choose the best fit for your teeth.
✅ Impression putty – A two-part material that hardens to capture an exact mold of your teeth.
✅ Hard plaster – Used for molding your teeth.
✅ Syringe – For precise water extraction.

Step-by-Step Guide to Taking Your Dental Impression

1. Prepare Your Materials

✔ Wash your hands and brush your teeth carefully.
✔ Ensure all kit items are ready.
✔ Read through the instructions before starting.

2. Select the Right Tray

🔹 Try placing the dental impression tray over your teeth to check the fit.
🔹 The tray should comfortably cover all your teeth without being too loose or too tight.
🔹 If the tray is too small, contact us for a different size before proceeding.

3. Mix the Impression Putty

🔹 Take one white putty and one colored putty (usually blue or purple).
🔹 Mix them together by kneading with your fingers for 30-45 seconds until a uniform color forms.
🔹 Do not overmix – the putty will start to harden within 1 minute.

4. Place the Putty in the Tray

🔹 Roll the mixed putty into a sausage-like shape.
🔹 Evenly spread it inside the tray, ensuring it covers the entire base with no gaps.

5. Take Your Impression

🔹 Open your mouth and carefully place the tray over your teeth.
🔹 Press firmly and evenly until your teeth are fully embedded in the putty.
🔹 Do not bite down completely—let the putty naturally capture your teeth shape.
🔹 Hold the tray in place for 2-3 minutes without moving.

6. Remove the Tray

🔹 Once the putty has hardened, gently wiggle the tray side to side.
🔹 Carefully pull it out to avoid distortion.
🔹 Check the impression:
- ✔ Your teeth shape should be clear and detailed (including gumline).
- ✔ If the impression is distorted, use the extra putty and redo the process.

7. Let the Impression Set

🔹 Place the tray in a safe area and let it fully harden for at least 10 minutes before packaging it.

8. Send the Impression Back to Us

🔹 Place the finished impression in the provided return bag/envelope.
🔹 Ship it back using:
- ✔ The prepaid label (if provided).
- ✔ Or your preferred shipping method.

💡 Important Tips for the Best Impression

✔ Breathe through your nose while taking the impression to avoid discomfort.
✔ Keep your mouth relaxed—don’t talk or move while the putty is setting.
✔ If you make a mistake, use the extra putty and try again.
✔ Avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes before taking the impression for better accuracy.
