So you’ve got your Basma impression kit. Hooray!
Now, we’ll show you how to take good impressions of your teeth at home with a step by step video.
Taking your impressions is fun and simple, and takes only about 30 minutes of your time. Also, getting started is risk-free; if, after you return the impressions to us, our orthodontists determine aligners are not right for you, we’ll get you a full refund. That is our guarantee!
By now, you’ve probably opened your kit and found these inside:
- 3 sets of dental trays
- Dark and light putty
- A smile spreader
- A return box
- A pair of gloves
- A detailed guide
But, before you take your impressions, here’s a few things to keep in mind:
- Make sure nothing is missing inside your kit.
- Make sure you set a timer next to you.
- We’ve included a detailed guide on how to make good impressions. Read it carefully!
- Brush your teeth, wash your hands, and put on your gloves before starting.
- Keep a towel with you, as your saliva will likely droop when you put the trays in your mouth.
- When taking a photo, make sure you’re sitting in a well-lit room, and use the flash of your camera to get a good shot. Ask a friend or family member to help you if needed, or stand in front of a mirror. Watch the photo guide here.
Okay, let’s get started!
Watch the video from start to finish – and read the guide too – before taking your first impression.
