READ THIS!. I will help you lol!.
I got mine off like last year and I hated the impressions too, but I didn't throw up!.
BREATHE!. THROUGH YOUR NOSE!. SLOWLY!. Look at the person who is giving it to you!. Look at the wall!. If you concentrate on your breathing then you will be fine!. It's not bad at all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am an orthodontic assistant and deal with this daily! First off make sure to tell the assistant taking the impression that you have a bad gag reflex!. It helps us if we know, trust me! Some tricks I do to help when I have a patient with this problem is ask them if they would like me to add a flavor in the impression material, this usually helps tremendously but I can't promise every office has the flavors to add!. You can also ask them if they have topical they can spray in your mouth to make it feel numb for a few minutes while the impression is being taken!. The biggest thing is to just stay calm, concentrate on taking deep breaths through you nose, and stay open as wide as they need you to!. Just keep in mind that you want it right the first time because if it is not they will just do it again! I'm sure you will do great! Congratulations!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Congratulations!. Always wear your retainer so that your teeth don't move and don't wrap the retainer in paper towel or toilet tissue, because you will throw it away like I did!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
