Creating Teeth Impressions (Instructional Video Meeting)
This review is about my experience during a live video session with Alan at AlignerCo, who instructed me on how to properly create a set of teeth impressions (upper and lower). Alan was fantastic. He had a welcoming presence, was patient, and very easy to follow. I especially appreciated that he didn’t just explain each step verbally; he demonstrated everything visually with hand gestures that I needed to mimic, along with using his own trays to demonstrate steps, which made a big difference. His demonstration of the “stretch and fold” technique for mixing the putty was particularly helpful. Intuitively, I began trying to mix it by squishing the two materials together, so seeing the technique he recommended made a huge difference, especially with the 30-second mixing time constraint. He also did a phenomenal job showing me what the putty should look like in the tray, and then guiding me in real time as I showed him my impressions and made adjustments. The demonstration of how to remove the tray from my mouth was another thing I found extremely helpful. His motions made it much easier to understand what I needed to do and what the experience of removal might feel like. He checked in throughout the session to make sure I understood everything, encouraged questions if I had any, and gave great feedback while reviewing my impressions. I really appreciated how hands-on and thorough he was. Overall, he was fantastic and made the whole process feel much easier. I left feeling happy with the interaction and with peace of mind knowing my teeth impressions met AlignerCo standards to create my perfect sets of retainers. Thank you, Alan!
