Have athlete try in the mouthguard tray (fig 1). If the tray does not extend to far back use it as is. If you feel the tray is to “long” cut it with scissors just behind the last hole (fig. 2) Bring water to a boil, then remove from heat. Place the dental tray in the hot water for 30 seconds. (fig. 3) Rinse in cool water for 1 second. (fig. 4)

Place in mouth and bite down firmly. Use you fingers to push the tray against your teeth and gums. (fig. 5) Remove tray and rinse in cold water. After the tray completely dries, open the containers with the two colored impression material. Begin kneading the two putties together (fig. 6) until they become a uniformed color, about 30 seconds. After kneading, roll the material into a sausage shape. (fig. 7)

Place just enough material into the tray to fill it. (fig. 8) Place the tray with putty in the mouth and bite down firmly through the putty until you contact the tray. Pull your upper lip over the front of the tray. Leave in mouth until the putty outside the tray becomes firm, approximately two and a half to three minutes. (fig. 9) Remove from mouth. A good impression should include all the teeth and extend to the gum tissue above the teeth. (fig. 10) If impression of teeth does not look sufficient then contact us at info@customsportsguards.com. Rinse in warm water. Place back in the bag it came in.
