Mouthguard and aligner materials are indicated for the fabrication of orthodontic and dental appliances such as aligners, bite
planes, mouthguards, nightguards, snoring appliances, splints, retainers, repositioners, and temporary bridges.
Contraindications:
Warnings:
Excessive heating time during thermoforming will cause plastic to over sag and potential for injury to operator.
Improper thermoforming of the plastic appliance may cause the appliance to crack/break, resulting in sharp edges, loose pieces
and possible aspiration of pieces.
Precautions:
Patients with a history of allergic reactions to plastics should not use this product.
Store plastic sheets in a cool, dry place.
Single Use Only.
Adverse Reactions:
Step by Step Instructions:
1. All models should be trimmed to ¾" high. Full arch models should have the palate trimmed away.
2. IMPORTANT: Pre-heat the machine before using! Pre-heat the vacuum machine for at least 3 minutes or until the heating
element is a solid orange color. (Heating times may vary with current fluctuations or length of time the heating element has
been left on.)
3. Spray the model with Trim-Rite
4. Place the plastic into the frame of the vacuum machine soft side up and the model on the base plate.
5. Swing the heating element over the plastic. Heat for approximately 1-1½ minutes or until glaze is visible on the soft side.
Material will smoke (normal).
6. Swing the heating element away and flip the material over so the hard side is now facing up. Swing the heating element
back over the plastic and heat for approximately 15-25 seconds (until it is glossy).
7. Move the heating element away from the plastic.
8. Turn on the vacuum and lower the plastic over the model.
9. Immediately spray the plastic encased model with Essix Freeze Spray
prohibiting further thinning, but it "shrinks" the material around the cast, realizing a tighter fit.
10. Let vacuum continue to run for approximately 1 minute. Allow 10 minutes for cooling.
11. Trim and finish appliance as desired.
Common Problems:
1. Not heating the soft side long enough.
2. Heating the hard side too long – it will become yellow and burn.
Special Notes:
The edges of Dual Laminate sheets may appear rough. This is normal and will not affect the function of the plastic. Cold cure acrylic
may be applied to the hard side only. Roughen the surface of the desired area prior to applying the monomer. Beware that the
monomer does not get on the soft side of the material – it will burn (yellow).
Heating time may vary depending upon machine. If plastic does not adapt to model, add heating time until adaptation occurs. If
plastic "folds" when thermoformed, reduce heating time until material does not fold.
