Soften the impression tray in hot water according to the provided instructions and mold around your teeth and gums.
Allow the tray to fully cool before making the final impression.
Taking your impressions
Take out 1 set of the two colored putty impression materials.
When ready quickly mix the two putties together until the color is uniform, usually 30-40 seconds.
Then roll the material into a sausage shape and place into each side of the impression tray covering all sides of the tray where your teeth will fit.
Center the tray. Bite down and mold the excess material around you gums.
Hold in place till the material sets, usually about 4 minutes.
Ship to Elite Dental Service

Elite Double Crush FAQs
What is the indication for a nightguard?
Nightguards are especially helpful to relieve the pain caused from nighttime clenching and grinding.
• These mouthguards can keep teeth from moving, protect expensive dental work, and protect teeth from wear and damage caused by your teeth grinding, clenching or jaw joint (TMJ) problems.
• Our mouth guard can also be worn during the day or throughout the night
Which type of Night Guard should I order?
• Please see this article http://mouthguardstore.com/articles/which-is-better-a-hard-or-soft-nightguard
• Generally a soft guard is for light clenchers, while the dual laminate is for moderate to severe clenching and the hard process guard is best suited for severe clenching.
Will I be able to make my own dental impression?
• Taking your own impression is not difficult providing you follow our step-by-step instructions.
• Also watch the impression video link for more help:
• Remember to push the teeth through the material until the teeth lightly touch the tray without tearing through it.
• Note: It is important to remember that a good impression should show both your teeth and gums.
How long does it take to get my Night Guards back?
• You will receive your Night Guard usually within 7 business days although the complete processing time may vary slightly.
Care and Use
• Simple place the nightguard into your mouth before sleeping
• Most people adjust to the new appliance within a few days.
• Store a soft nightguard dry and clean with soap and water.
• The hard acrylic or dual laminate guard can be cleaned on the hard surface with a tooth brush and occasionally cleaned with a denture cleanser.
• Keep all mouthguards away from heat or pets and store in the protective case.
