STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1 — Set Up Your Space

Open black box labeled 'Vision Dental Lab' containing dental impression trays and small containers, placed on a white marble bathroom countertop near a sink with soap dispensers and towels.

Wash your hands, lay out all kit contents on a clean surface, and put on the included latex-free gloves.

Step 2 — Choose the Best-Fitting Tray

Try the small, medium, and large trays to find the most comfortable fit. The tray should cover your teeth without feeling too tight or too loose.

Step 3 — Mix the Impression Material

Mix one part base with one part catalyst until the putty becomes one solid, even color with no streaks.

Step 4 — Load the Tray Evenly

Press the mixed putty into the tray and spread it evenly so the tray is fully filled and smooth.

Step 5 — Take the Impression

Place the tray in your mouth and press firmly so it seats evenly over your teeth. Hold still for 1–2 minutes while the material sets.

Step 6 — Remove and Check Your Impression

Remove the tray straight out. A good impression shows clear tooth detail with no major gaps, bubbles, or distortions. If it doesn’t look right, repeat using your extra material.

Step 7 — Package and Return
