When I had my teeth out as a kid (overpopulation) they couldn't take an impression using the tray-of-goo stuff because of my gag reflex. When they put the little bit of goo on the roof of my mouth, prior to putting they tray in, I was gagging, so they decided not to try the tray. I'm a lot better now.
But my dentist had an answer for this. He had this stuff which was like the kind of plastic cheese squares you get in burgers. And then he got out a little bunsen burner. I was most impressed by this. It was about two inches tall, but it was a proper bunsen burner. Then he heated up the cheese stuff so it was flacid and I held that between my teeth. Then after a few minutes it cooled down and set again, with my teeth marks in it.

I thought this was most cool.
