To
achieve the best results, Take your time. Be patient,
don't be in a hurry. If you are going to wear your
new teeth with a foam appliance or other elaborate
makeup, make sure you fit your teeth ahead of time.

If
you've purchased a set with both uppers and lowers,
fit the lowers first. It is difficult to fit lowers
once the uppers are in place. You want to fit the
lowers with the uppers so that they will maintain
the proper relationship with each other.

If
the appliance is the least bit uncomfortable to wear,
go through the fitting process again until you have
a fit that is absolutely comfortable for you. Wearing
even a slightly uncomfortable appliance can leave
you with painful sores on your gums that can take
days to heal, and that is no fun!

It
is important to make sure that some of the fitting
plastic is pushed through the two small holes on each
side of the appliance. This will ensure
that the fitting plastic will 'lock onto' the plastic
shell.
You can soften one or two pellets seperately
and push these through the two small holes before
fitting. You can let this plastic cool and
it will grab the rest of the fitting plastic when
you go through the complete fitting process.

When
placing the softened fitting plastic onto the back
of the plastic shell teeth, make
sure that the surface of the shell is dry!
This will ensure that the fitting plastic adheres
to the plastic shell as it cools.

Think
Less is More when applying the fitting plastic. Using
too much fitting plastic will keep you from getting
a superior fit. We provide you with plenty of fitting
plastic and not all of it is needed. It is easier
to add more plastic where needed than it is to remove
it once it has been used.
|
| 7. |
When
placing the fitting plastic onto the back of the plastic
teeth, place it right behind where your teeth
are going to be. You don't need it to go where your
gums will be; let the extra fitting plastic 'ooze'
into the area where your gums are.
