Note: Heating times vary between different machines.

Ø  If the plastic sheet doesn’t form well to the model, add 3-5 seconds on heating time until confirmation is acceptable.

Ø  Please be aware that higher pressure and/or longer heating time may cause the risk of a thinner aligner.

Ø  If the plastic forms folds or abnormal deformation, reduce the heating time until folds do not occur.
