Nothing’s worse than ordering a custom night guard and realizing it doesn’t fit. The truth? 80% of the time, it all comes down to the impression. Creating a perfect dental impression for your custom night guard can be tricky, but it's the most important step for a comfortable and protective fit. At Sentinel Mouthguards, we've reviewed over 5,000 impressions and identified the most common mistakes customers make. | |
Here are the top issues we've seen:
| |
❌ 01. Shallow Impressions: The impression often doesn't go deep enough, especially around the back molars. This can result in a loose or unstable fit.
| |
❌ 02. Incorrect Putty Timing: Rushing the process or waiting too long to place the tray can cause the putty to distort, leading to an inaccurate impression. | |
❌ 03. Incomplete Mixing: If the two putty colors aren't fully mixed, it can leave white streaks and affect the setting process, compromising the final mold. | | ❌ 04. Off-Center or Uneven Impressions: Placing the tray unevenly can result in a night guard that feels imbalanced or doesn't cover all your teeth properly.
