An intra-oral article that is user-customized from a contoured, thermoplastic pre-form stretches and reconfigures cheek skin, thereby diminishing the appearance of cheek lines, wrinkles, folds, and depressions. After heating a pre-form to its softening point, it is pressed against the buccal surface of the gums and teeth in a posterior quadrant of the maxilla or mandible. The pre-form is removed from the mouth after hardening, which yields a customized impression on the interior surface of the pre-form. The customized article can subsequently be applied and removed as desired by the user.
