IMPRESSION STEPS
pLEASE rEAD ALL STEPS BEFORE sTARTING
- Before you begin, choose which impression tray fits your mouth the best.
- Mix one of each colour putty together until the white colour disappears and the putty reaches a consistent colour. Take no longer than 30 seconds to complete this stage.
- Roll the putty into a sausage-like shape and place it inside the tray, ensuring there is plenty of putty at the front of the tray.
- Keeping the tray handle aligned with your nose, locate your front teeth and push the tray upwards as far as possible, then bite down firmly at the back for a couple of seconds. Keep the tray still for 2 minutes to allow the putty to set.
- After two minutes, remove the tray from inside your mouth. It may feel tight against your teeth, in which case a gentle rocking motion of the tray may be applied to remove it.
- Wrap the impression in tissue and place it in the plastic bag supplied. Finally place the bag and your lab ticket inside the free post envelope. Please then take it to your local post office or parcel box.
