Remove the impression trays and material from the package. Your hands must be clean and dry before mixing the impression materials. Open one set of impression material (one container of blue putty and one container of yellow putty). Quickly mix the two colors of putty together. Knead and roll the two colors together, like mixing play dough, until fully blended into one color. Make sure that the putties are blended completely into one color (not two colors swirled together). Total mixing time should be less than 20 seconds. At 30 seconds, the material begins to harden. Roll the material into a cylindrical shape and place in the plastic impression tray.

Take the tray filled with the impression material and place over the center of your upper teeth. Push the tray over your teeth with firm pressure while making sure that your teeth do not touch the plastic of the tray. Your teeth must be surrounded by the impression putty and not be touching the plastic. Make sure that your teeth and gums sink into the impression putty just past the level of your gums (your gums should be imbedded into the impression putty about ¼ of an inch). The impression material will squeeze through the holes in the tray). Keep the tray in place over your teeth for three minutes.

Once the impression tray has been in place for three minutes, remove the tray from your mouth while leaving the impression material in the tray. Do not remove the material from the tray unless you need to retake your impressions. Rinse the impression with cold water and inspect. It is not necessary that your back teeth (rear molars) are included in the impression. However, it is critical that the front six teeth and gum line are clearly visible. The fit of your custom trays will depend on how precise you create your impressions. If needed, an extra set of impression material is included. The same tray may be used again if necessary.
