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.
