How To Do A Proper Impression

WATCH THIS VIDEO FIRST, BUT DO NOT DO YOUR DENTAL IMPRESSION UNTIL YOU READ THROUGH THIS PAGE.

NOW, READ THIS

To make your cool new grill, we need to make a copy of your teeth first! This is super important because if the copy isn’t done just right, the grill might not fit your teeth perfectly. So, it’s really important to follow the instructions carefully to make sure the mold (the copy of your teeth) is the right size.

If you do this step right, your grill will have a better chance of fitting perfectly, and it won’t feel funny when you wear it! We’re going to shape your grill based on the mold you send us, so make sure it’s just right.

Before you start, please read our tips to help you do your best!

2. Place more putty toward the teeth that you are covering. For example, if you are getting two teeth on the front left side, place more putty toward the front, left side.
 
3. Place more putty toward the front of the tray so that we can get your gum line. If you don’t do this, the grill will not fit correctly. This is mandatory.
 
 
5. When doing your impression, we need to see your gum line in the putty, so please bite all the way down (right into the middle of the putty) and pull your lip over the tray or we won’t be able to use your impression and you will have to order another one. The jeweler needs to see where your gum line starts so that we can ensure your grill fits your teeth and mouth.
 
7. If you aren’t sure about anything before using your impression kit, please reach out to us before doing it.
 

KEEP THIS IN MIND

After you send us a picture of your teeth mold, we will look at it to check if it looks good. But then, our jeweler, who is really, really good at making grills, will take a closer look to make sure everything is perfect. It might take a little time for him to say if the mold is good or not, so don't worry if you don't hear from us right away!

We need to see all of your teeth and your gums (the pink part) to make sure the grill fits right. If the mold isn’t done the right way, you will have to make a new one. Please note that we've already started on your order with all of your materials on their way to the lab right now, so we're just waiting for you to give us the best dental impression! 

Here’s a photo of what we’re looking for. Notice that the gumline is very visible.

 

 

OKAY, READ THIS ONCE AND THEN YOU'RE READY TO DO YOUR DENTAL IMPRESSION

STEP ONE:

  • Get ready! Brush and floss your teeth so they’re nice and clean.
  • Try the tray (the plastic thing) in your mouth before you mix the soft stuff (putty).
  • Make sure the tray fits over all your teeth without touching the sides.
  • Get a timer and a mirror so you can watch what you're doing.

STEP TWO:

  • Mix the two kinds of putty together for 20 seconds. You want it to turn into one color with no stripes.
  • Don’t mix for too long, or the putty will get hard!

STEP THREE:

  • Roll the putty into a long shape or a ball.
  • Quickly put the putty into the tray and spread it evenly.
  • Put extra putty near the teeth you want to cover, like the front teeth if you’re making a grill for the front.

STEP FOUR:

  • Look in the mirror and put the tray with putty into your mouth.
  • Bite down gently into the middle of the putty. Be careful not to hit the sides of the tray.
  • Make sure your teeth are covered in the putty.
  • Pull your lip over the tray to get a good copy of your teeth and gums.
  • Hold the tray still for 4 minutes without moving or talking.

STEP FIVE:

  • Carefully take the tray out of your mouth.
  • Don’t take the putty out of the tray!
  • Rinse it with water and let it dry.

THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT

It’s really important to double-check your order for your special mouth grill to make sure it looks just the way you want it! Even small things, like how it fits or what design you chose, can change how the grill looks and works. By confirming your order, we can make sure there are no mix-ups, and you’ll get the perfect grill just for you.

Checking your order also helps us finish it on time and avoid having to redo anything, so you get your cool grill faster!

    STEP 6

    After you finish making your teeth mold, please take a bright and clear picture of it, showing the inside of the mold. Even if we say it looks good, the jeweler still needs to check it closely when he sees it, so he can make sure everything is perfect!

    STEP 7

    Once we say your teeth mold looks good, please send it back to us using the shipping label we gave you. Remember, we’ll check it first, but the jeweler will look at it really closely when he gets it to make sure he can use it to make your PMG (Protective Mouth Grill)!
