Bleaching Instructions
FOR 10% BLEACHING TRAYS:
Bleaching should be the last thing you do at night.
Brush and floss your teeth.
Dry your bleach trays or clear retainers completely (A Q-Tip works well for this)
Droop bleach inside each reservoir excluding where crowns are. Put the drop on the inside where you want the tooth to whiten.
About 1/3 to 1/2 of a tube for both upper and lower trays is how much will be used each night.
Place the trays over your teeth and press it against your teeth. If excess comes out remove it with a tissue. If gel gets on your gums it can burn your gum tissue.
Keep the trays in for 15-20 minutes the first time to make sure your teeth are not overly sensitive. If your teeth are not sensitive, you can leave bleach on your teeth overnight.
Remove trays in the morning, rinse out your mouth and the trays, Make sure that all of the bleach has been removed. You can brush your teeth again!
If teeth are sensitive do not bleach again until the sensitivity goes away.
If tissue is sensitive and looks white around the teeth place Vitamin E on the tissue.
On the days that you are bleaching it is a good idea to avoid foods that can cause staining such as: Coffee, tea, berries, red wine, juice.
