The joy of molds/ impressions

I was scared about getting these impressions done as it's the first time I had molds/impressions done since having my braces on.

Mr S didn't bother removing my wires, (I thought he might do from what I'd heard from others who have had impressions done with braces on).

First he did my top jaw impressions with a small tray.
(You know the procedure by now, putty stuff is put in your mouth on a U shaped plastic tray which sits on the teeth. you then bite down hard on it and when it has hardened, it is then eased it off the teeth).

Then he repeated the process for my bottom jaw with a small tray.
He then said the small tray wasn't big enough, so repeated the top and bottom jaws with a bigger tray.
Then he did the top jaw again with the bigger sized tray as the other mold/impression wasn't quite right.

Mr S then set about removing bits of putty stuck in my braces and cleaned my mouth out with the water jet and sucker.
(My poor sensitive teeth suffered whilst he was doing this).
The nurse then handed me a dampened cloth and mirror to clean up the putty bits on my face.

This took about an hour in total.
I had a head rush when I got back up again after lying down for so long!

Ah well, I'm glad that's all over!

NB: Mr S also changed my 7 silver elastic ligs which had become discoloured and gone a weird emerald colour.
