Abstract
An adjustable dental impression tray includes a first and second arcuate member movably attached at a proximal end of each arcuate member. The adjustable dental impression tray includes a handle to facilitate removal of the tray from a person's mouth. The dental impression tray also includes an adjustment mechanism which allows the user to position the first arcuate member relative to the second arcuate member to form a U-shaped channel which approximates the patients dentition. The dental impression is further configured with a locking member to receive and retain impression material into the tray.
