Why with the laminated Proform and the dual laminated it is hard to get a good adaptation?
• For laminated mouthguard the vacuum sheet should be well heated until 1″ dropp develops. If a dual laminate is used, place the soft side of the laminate up toward heating element. Heat until softened ( 2 to 3 minutes). Then flip laminate over and heat hard side for 10 to 15 seconds. • Models hights should be reduce to maximum. Choose plaster as it is more porous, rather than stone. • Lack of power in the vacuum former machinel. These types of rigid materials need a more powerful equipment (a double chamber). If you vacuum former is not powerful enough, it is possible to readapt the thermoplastic with a wet cloth. Dental Resources has recently marketed a new effective accessory to adress this problem: a pressure dome (see equipment section of the catalog).
