@EdProduct I checked your profile and at age 18, you should see results in just over one week. If you have heavy stains due to coffee or smoking, it could take longer. You could also benefit by trying to keep them in longer than one hour. Cut back on foods and drinks that may stain. Good Luck!
i just got these how long does it take t work
@ArinLudington Assuming you do not overload your bleach tray and a small amount gets out, you should be ok. You may want to wait about 5 min. before laying down to make sure you cleared the excess out. If you are constantly having excess, then you need to cut back on the amount of gel you are putting in.
You may want to see my other more detailed videos. Thanks for a good question and good luck!
@maverick9900 Yes....should be the same.
Is it safe to swallow the bleach when sleeping?
Is this the same amount of gel I should use for my deep bleaching treatment?
I am working on a two part update to this video and hope to have them posted before the end of April '10. I will try to go into more detail about each step. So tune back in late April. Thank you.
In my office the patient applies the bleach while I watch and guide them, I then refer them to this video as a back-up refresher.
If you are worried and don't want to go back to your office to demo in front of them, then I suggest you start with a small amount first. Almost all bleaching systems nowadays are considered safe. Apply just a little and work your way up to applying more. Once you get the hang of it, applying will go fast and easy. Be brave! Take a deep breath and go for it.
@dentalcool they did give me instructions. come to think of it this video is just the info i needed, where to apply the gel on the custom tray. Im just a bit worried doing it myself, thats all it is
@westoaux I can look into that, although I do not use that product. I am a bit surprised they sold the system to you without giving you instructions, or a quick "how to use it". Have you asked your office for advice?
hey dentalcool thanks for this video.... can you make an opalescence instructional video? i just bought the system through my dentist and i also got the custom tray
oh ThnxX DenTalCool....
best wishes ^_^
The tray you see in the video and overall the best fitting trays should come from your dental office. The doctor, hygienist, or dental assistant (under direct supervision of the dentist) can take an impression that duplicates your teeth and surrounding gum area. The tray can be fabricated from that. The ones you buy in the store and mold yourself may not uniformly fit or be ill-fitting enough to not distribute the bleach properly. You can call various offices to ask a general price.
where Can I get teeth Tray ?
Any help please...
ThnxX 4 The Vid ^_^
You may want to ask that exact same question to your dentist. Did you tell her about the irritation? Maybe that is why she wants you to stop. My suggestion would be to stop by her office before your 6 month check up and find out why she wants you to stop. Bring the bleach and the trays with you. Keep me informed.
Thank you for this video, it really helped me getting the bleach into the tray, before it was always touching my gums and causing irritation. I do have a question however, I spoke to my dentist after doing it 3 times and she told me to stop using the bleach until my next 6 month check up even though my teeth haven't whitened properly and the colour is uneven. Is there a medical reason why she would say this or do you think it's safe to do more treatments until I get the desired tooth colour?
Thank you very much.
Hard to believe I did this video over three years ago. I hope to someday this year do an update to this. Thanks for your support and nice comments...very much appreciated!
Nice to hear from you and good luck with your bleaching effort. It is indeed wise to use the bleach before your bonding. As to whether they will fit, alot depends on the amount of space being filled. If your tray fills the current gaps, then, no, it won't fit once the gaps are filled in with bonding. Be sure to bring your trays to the appointment and ask the dentist to place the trays (BOTH) once the bonding is finished. Let the dentist place them in for you. Good luck!
Update. I'm picking my trays up on Wednesday upper and lower trays. Although I'm not sure what the percentage of the bleach will be he hasn't told me yet. I have a question though. I'm having my teeth whitened first via trays then after that Bonding on the front 4 teeth to close gaps. My question is will i be able to use the upper trays in the future after the bonding has been done. I know it will change the shape of my teeth and i would assume the tray will not fit so accurate anymore? Thanks
Thanks doc, exactly what i was searching for.
This has been the most informative whitening video on youtube. I like that the trays are not trimmed. It looks like it would provide a much better fit. My dentist had my tray trimmed and I HATE it!!
Thank you for a very informative video. It helped me a great deal. My periodondist fitted my tray and gave me 6% gel. I was pleased with the fit of the tray, but she did not really show me how to apply the bleach. So thank you for this.
Trays are trimmed by the dental staff. They can be trimmed like the one you see here, or closer to the teeth. I prefer this style as it holds to the mouth better and gives more room for the bleaching gel. No matter what way the tray is trimmed, you need to be careful to not put too much bleach in the tray. One of the biggest problems is patients putting too much in....more is NOT better.
If you feel the tray is not trimmed right or is hurting....then your dental office can trim it a bit.
i whitened my teeth and some of my gum lines turned white. will this happen everytime? and your videos are very informative, could you make one about trimming trays?
