Invisalign tray size check fit

Your kit includes three tray sizes (Tip: Start with medium 90% of people fit this size)

Small, Medium, and Large. (Upper and Lower Trays are labeled)

UPPER

LOWER

Practice inserting your chosen tray straight down without tilting it forward or to the side. Ensure that the handle of the tray aligns with the middle of your face. It's crucial to insert the tray correctly to avoid trapping your lip. If your chosen tray size comfortably fits over your teeth, you're good to go.

Step 3:

Once you've selected the right tray size, quickly mix the two putties (Catalyst + Base) together with your fingers for 20 seconds ensuring a uniform colour throughout. Then, roll the putty into a sausage shape and place it in the tray, forming a U-shape. Press the putty all the way to the ends of the tray.

Step 4:

Insert the tray into your mouth so that your teeth are centered over the putty sausage. Push the tray downward evenly until your front and back teeth touch the base of the impression tray. You should feel the putty making contact with your teeth and gums. Hold the tray in place with your thumbs for 3 minutes. Keep as still as possible!

Tip: try drying your teeth by gently sucking in before insertion for an even better impression.

Step 5:

Once the putty is set, carefully remove the tray from your mouth. If needed, use your fingers to break the suction by pulling upward from one side of your gum.

Step 6:
