Guide to Perfect Moldings

No matter where you choose to make your molds, make sure that the following criteria are respected:

  1. Full Coverage : We need the full cast of both ears, including:
    • The complete helix
    • Helix Crus
    • Tragus and antitragus
    • The ear canal up to the second curvature

    • The ear canal should be examined for obstructions or inflammations.
    • An oto-block is inserted immediately after the second curvature of the ear canal.
  3. Optimal position :
    • It is recommended to use a byte-block to keep the jaw open approximately 2.5 cm during the procedure.

    • We recommend high viscosity silicone for best results.
