  1. We take an impression of your mouth that essentially gives us a “copy” of your teeth.
  2. Stone plaster is poured into the impression and allowed to harden to make a stone model of your teeth.
  3. The model of your teeth is placed onto the vacuum machine where the template of the mouthguard is placed as well.
  4. The heat from the Sta-Vac warms up the mouthguard template and is then vacuumed over the stone model.
  5. Once the mouthguard template is set and formed completely, the template can be removed from the model.
  6. The template is then trimmed and polished to take shape of the mouthguard that will be inserted into your mouth to protect your teeth.
