3: Taking the mold
From
start to finish, this step takes about 2.5 minutes, &
should be done in front of a mirror
Center
the tray with the front teeth close to the rim of plastic,
but not hitting the plastic & firmly press the upper
tray into your teeth until you feel the tips of your teeth
going through the putty material and lightly touching
the bottom inside of the plastic tray. (Do not bite into
it, simply press the upper tray into your teeth) (see
fig. 4 below)
Once
seated, do not move the tray until the putty sets.
Keep
your lips relaxed and loose.
When
seating the lower tray, follow the same steps, but
also keep your tongue towards the roof of your mouth.
Then once the tray has been firmly seated, relax your
tongue.
