  • Gently remove the putty, wiping away any residue with a clean towel.
• Repeat the process for upper teeth impressions and twice for the bottom teeth, creating a total of four samples.
• Smile for the pictures:
  • Use the cheek retractor to separate your lips.

After finishing both top and bottom, you can take these out of tray carefully and not break them. And use the rest of the material to do the other set.

2：The tooth surface is smooth without cracks and no accumulated points or protrusions.

3. There are clear squeeze marks on the gum surface

What’s the problem with those molds that can’t be used?

Case 1: When biting, it was placed too far in, and biting too far to the side, making it impossible to obtain a complete tooth model.

Case 2: Complete bite collapse. When biting, the material needs to be spread flat to every corner of the dental tray, and at the same time, it cannot be placed too far inside the mouth.

Case 3： The lower teeth are chipped because they are placed too far into the mouth when biting. The teeth should be kept in the middle of the material.

Case 4: The bite is too shallow
