The Orthdontist came highly recommended so I have great faith in him. However, this might sound trivial but I've got some kind of "sensory" issue so the thought of having impressions done has me stuck. What options do I have?

I've watched many videos of people getting impressions done in the hopes of desensitizing myself but...it's not working. Thanks.
