Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Brush and floss your teeth thoroughly to remove any debris or plaque.
-
Fitting the Whitening Trays:
- Boil water and let it cool slightly.
- Submerge the whitening trays in the warm water for about 5 seconds or until they become pliable.
- Carefully place the trays over your upper and lower teeth and suck out the excess water and air to form the trays to your teeth.
- Hold the trays in place for a few seconds until they mold to your teeth.
- Remove and cool them in cold water to set the shape.
-
Applying the Whitening Gel:
- Dry your teeth with a clean cloth or tissue to ensure the gel adheres properly.
- Apply a small amount of the whitening gel to the inner surface of the whitening trays. A pea-sized amount is sufficient for each tray.
- Be careful not to overfill the trays to avoid gel spilling over onto your gums.
-
Inserting the Trays:
- Place the filled trays over your teeth, ensuring even coverage of the whitening gel on the surface of your teeth.
- Press the trays gently to ensure a snug fit.
-
Wearing the Trays:
- Leave the trays in your mouth for the recommended time (typically 15-30 minutes). Refer to the instructions manual for the exact duration as it may vary based on the concentration of the gel and your sensitivity.
- Avoid eating, drinking, or speaking during this time to ensure the gel stays in place.
-
Removing the Trays:
- Carefully remove the trays and rinse your mouth thoroughly to remove any residual gel.
- Rinse the trays with cold water and store them in a clean, dry place for future use.
-
Post-Whitening Care:
- If included, apply the desensitizing gel to the trays and wear them for about 10 minutes to reduce any sensitivity.
- Avoid consuming staining foods and drinks (such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco) for at least 24 hours after the whitening session.
-
Maintenance:
- Repeat the process as recommended, usually once a day for up to 7 days, or until the desired level of whitening is achieved.
Additional Tips:
- Sensitivity: If you experience any sensitivity, reduce the usage time or frequency of the whitening sessions. Using a desensitizing toothpaste can also help.
- Consultation: Consult your dentist before starting any whitening treatment, especially if you have dental restorations, gum disease, or other oral health issues.
