How does the home impression process work?

Asked by Retainers at Home · 27 July 2026

What actually happens when I take my own dental impressions at home?

Answer from Retainers at Home

After you order, we post you a dental impression kit with dental-grade putty, trays (S, M, L), gloves and a pre-paid return envelope. You mix the putty, press it into a tray over your teeth for about 3 minutes, then post it back. We include a full photo guide and a video tutorial to walk you through it.
