At Witherow Orthodontics Dr.Witherow did my impression with the mix that tasted like mint much better than that stuff....

@djrox666 my impressions took 10/15 seconds. The material almost was hard when they put it in my mouth. If you bend to the front that stuff can't come in your throat. And breathe through you nose. This was by my second ortho..the first was just terrible, too much material and too soft. so i was gagging. and my mom got mad at me, so we made an other appointment, and then i failed. again.. but i was 11 at that time...
now i have braces since almost 6 months. (:

i hope i can do this right this time :) thanks for sharing doc! :P wait, why do you have to put some alginate in the patient's palate first?

I am sorry.....next time place your chin down toward your chest and breathe thru your nose. Also ask your assistant to make her mix thick and not runny! This may help:)

By placing aliginate in the palate it keeps voids to a minimum. It also great when taking an impression on those patients with a high palate so as to capture all of the anatomy. Many times a void will be created and appliances will not fit properly. Hope that helps :)

Thanks, I am glad you liked it.

It's not a problem. It will pass and be digested as food would be.

hi i have a really weak gag reflex and am just wondering how i can get my mouth impression taken without gagging and how long does it take to set??
djrox666 1 year ago
@djrox666 Our material sets in about 30 seconds. It is best to relax, breath slowly and through your mouth. If the material is mixed thick it will not run near your throat and therefore your gag reflex should not be a problem. If needed once the impression material in place you can sit up and and draw your chin down toward your chest and this will allow your saliva to flow forward as well as making the impression material not sit near the back of your throat. Good luck!
