Is it hard to make the impressions at home- We've helped thousands of people successfully make their at-home impressions using our kit. Because everyone's mouth is different, it's important to have an impression tray that adjusts. In 2011, we patented our adjustable tray to make it even easier to get a perfect impression. We include an extra set of impression material, just in case. You'll want to watch the video and make sure you've got everything prepared properly. But in our experience, making the impression at home is much easier than scheduling an appointment, driving across town, sitting in a waiting room, and spending hundreds of extra dollars to have your orthodontist do this for you.
How Long Does It Take to get my custom trays- As soon as your impression is received, it will take approximately 10 business days before your new appliance is completed. International orders can be a lengthy process. Please be patient when ordering internationally.
What if I mess up my impressionIf the impression material hardens or the impression doesn't come out well, we will send you out a replacement putty free of charge, the tray is reusable. If the kit is sent in and the impression(s) were bad it would be a 15 dollar charge to send another impression kit to you.
Can I use other teeth whitening gelsYes! Opalescene Teeth Whitening, Novashine Teeth Whitening, Smile Actives Teeth Whitening, Black Diamond Charcoal Teeth Whitener, Auraglow Teeth Whitening, iSmile Teeth Whitening, Viebeauti Teeth Whitening, VS1 Teeth Whitening, HiSmile Teeth Whitening, Go Smile Teeth Whitening, Cali White Teeth, and various other brands are all okay to use within your custom teeth-whitening trays from Sporting Smiles.
Are your products BPA Free- Yes! All our products (retainers, whitening trays, night guards, and mouthguards) are BPA, BPS, DEHP, and latex-free.
What is the impression putty made from- VPS (Vinyl Polysiloxane). The putty is FDA and the MSDS is available on request.
Why is Sporting Smiles so much cheaper than my dentist- To purchase a typical retainer in the past, your dentist would have to take an impression at his office and send it out to a dental laboratory for construction. This requires using valuable office time which needs to be incorporated into the cost of the guard. Because we operate our laboratory and are using a self-impression method we can dramatically reduce the cost of your retainer.
