[QUOTE="the lab lady, post: 9668, member: 523"] yes. 1. you do the bio-star (or whatever you use) with a color, or clear material as usual 2. remove the material, trim a little shorter that usual, put back on model. 3. put decal, name, etc. where you want it (make sure it is secure- if it isn't a sticker you can use a tiny drop of dental adhesive, or super glue? 4. put a new piece of clear mouthguard material in and process over the old one as usual, if you have an extra lamp to heat the material on the model great, if not practice warming with a micro torch (too much heat will scorch the material) 5. when they are both heated well, process as usual. they will form together, but you will have to practice a little to get the right heat and air pressure. two sheets of 2mm will make a 3mm mouth guard. i have a nice article on this method and the benefits of alveolar protection and superiority of this type of mouthguard over the store bought ones, i will try to locate and post it. please let me know how this works out for you, and if you have any questions about it!
