How should the form fit for a client with onychophagy wanting a pink and white overlay?

When fitting a form for a client with onychophagy (nail biting), who is seeking a pink and white overlay, it is essential that the form is snug under the hyponychium with no space. This snug fit ensures that the product adheres properly to the natural nail and provides adequate support for the enhancement. A tight fit prevents lifting, which can be particularly problematic in clients with onychophagy, as their nails are often more fragile and susceptible to damage.

Additionally, a snug fit helps create a more natural appearance and can enhance the longevity of the overlay by minimizing the risk of separation from the natural nail. Ensuring there is no space or gaps is critical for achieving an optimal seal, which not only promotes better adhesion but also improves the overall durability and wear of the pink and white overlay.

In contrast, other options like having a loose fit at the tip or tightness along the sidewalls could lead to lifting or an unnatural appearance, compromising the integrity of the overlay. Flexibility near the nail bed is also not ideal, as a firm fit is necessary for stability and proper alignment. Therefore, the correct fitting of the form is crucial for successfully applying a pink and white overlay for clients with onychophagy.
