Impression Instructions

Check Your Impressions Yourself

This is the area above where your teeth are. This is required on the impression to ensure that your instasmile does not come into contact with your gums as this can cause irritation.

This is the outline of your teeth where your tooth hits your gums. These should always be a clear rounded shape at the top. Without clear margins, the technicians will not know the full shape of your teeth and your instasmile may not fully cover your teeth.

The impression putty must be one solid color with no white streaks. If white streaks are visible, the putty will not be fully set. This then allows the putty to shrink and we will not have a full representation of your teeth.

Good depth comes in the form of A & B being visible in your impression. Again, without good depth, the impression is not a true representation of your mouth and can cause fit issues with the instasmile.
