Hello,

I'm trying to find out if anyone knows of a way for people to make molds of
their mouths at home.  I'm aware of boil and bite molds, but I think they
lack the amount of detail needed to fit someone for a customized mouthguard.

We'd like to start up a business offering customized mouth guards for people
in which they can order directly from their home and then send their molds
to us so we can make a customized mouth guard.

We're looking for a product that will allow someone to easily make a reverse
impression of their mouth that will maintain it's shape without shrinking
during transit through the mail system.

Anyone have any ideas?

yes. my idea is that you would be practicing dentistry without a license.

Scott,

Dentists have a hard time getting a detailed accurate impression with years
of schooling doing it in a clinical setting and you expect a lay person to
do it in their kitchen?

Many years ago you could order a set of dentures from Sears. They sent you a
gob of bees wax and you warmed it and bit on it and sent it to them and you
got back what was affectionately know as a set of "Robuckers".
