How to take good impressions with the Basma impression kit

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:

1. Make sure nothing is missing inside your kit.
2. Make sure you set a timer next to you.
3. We’ve included a detailed guide on how to make good impressions. Read it carefully!
4. Brush your teeth, wash your hands, and put on your gloves before starting.
5. Keep a towel with you, as your saliva will likely droop when you put the trays in your mouth.
6. 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.
