Mould Kit Instructions
Creating Your Dental Impression: The Most Important Step
We offer upper, lower, and full-mouth impression kits that you can complete at home and return to us. For the best results, we recommend visiting your dentist to have a putty mould taken. You can post this mould to us, or if your dentist offers a 3D scanned mould, they can simply email it to us. This approach will speed up the process, save on shipping costs, and ensure the highest quality impression.
What's Included in Your Mould Kit:
- 2 sets of base and catalyst putty
- Mini 2-step syringe
- 3 mouth trays
- Order form (please fill out all details)
Important: Remove any piercings and read all instructions before starting to prevent the putty from hardening too quickly.
Step 1: Choose the Tray and Mix the Putty (30 Seconds)
Find the Right Tray: Select the tray that fits your mouth comfortably but doesn’t press against your teeth.Mix Quickly: Mix one base (white) and one catalyst (coloured) putty for 30 seconds, or until the colour is uniform. Work quickly—if you take too long, the putty will start to harden and become unusable.
Step 2: Shape and Place the Putty
Shape the Putty: Roll the putty into a log shape that fits evenly in the tray, avoiding the edges.Position Carefully: Place the putty into the tray, making sure it’s evenly spread.
Step 3: Take the Impression
Insert the Tray: Put the tray in your mouth, covering your teeth fully with your lips over the mould. Ensure your teeth are centred in the putty and not too close to the edges—this is crucial for an accurate mould.Apply Even Pressure: Don't bite down. For top impressions, press the tray upwards and for bottom impressions, press downwards with your hands.
Step 4: Wait and Remove (5 Minutes)
Hold the Position: Wait 5 minutes without moving or talking to let the putty set properly.
Gently Remove: Slowly lift the tray away from your teeth vertically. Do not take the putty out of the tray.
Step 5: Apply the 2-Step Impression Material
Use the Syringe Material: Twist the syringe clockwise until it clicks, then squeeze the entire contents into the impression of your teeth. Make sure you fill the teeth that you are getting your tooth caps on with plenty of liquid!Reinsert the Tray: Push the tray firmly back into your mouth. You should feel the mixture spread around your teeth and the tray will slot into place—make sure your teeth are placed exactly in the same spot as before.
Wait and Remove: After 1 minute 30 seconds, carefully remove the tray again.
Step 6: Quality Check
Send a Photo: Take a clear picture of your impression and send it to us via Instagram @loudmouthldn or email hello@loudmouthldn.co.uk with your order number.
Follow Instructions: Use the additional putty only if we ask you to remake the mould. If approved, return the unused putty.
Reminder: Make sure you have fully filled out the order form with all of the correct details and selected the correct teeth.
