Teeth whitening can enhance your smile, making it more confident and radiant. However, before undergoing this cosmetic procedure, it is best to learn more about how to use at-home teeth whitening trays to achieve optimal results.

How to Properly Use Teeth Whitening Trays?

• Thoroughly clean your teeth before each application of the whitening tray, including using dental floss or a specialized brush. Remove all traces of toothpaste.
• To avoid wasting the gel, dispense a small amount of the whitening agent into the provided tray. Be careful not to overfill the tray, as it may overflow when inserted. Remember to use about half a syringe or less for each tray per night.
• Any excess material should be removed from the tray using a tissue, cotton swab, or dry toothbrush after placing the tray.
• According to the standard procedure for using teeth whitening trays, you should wear the tray overnight. Refrain from eating, drinking, or smoking while wearing the tray. The teeth whitening process operates at different speeds for each individual, but most patients report noticeable results after four treatment sessions, once a sufficient amount of gel has come into contact with the teeth and begun its action.
• Rinse your mouth with warm water to remove any residual gel after removing the tray. Rinse the tray with cold water and thoroughly dry it with a tissue before storing.
• If the gel comes into contact with the skin, wash it off with soap and water. If you accidentally swallow a significant amount of gel, drink a large amount of water or milk. Store the gel in a cool place for long-term preservation and keep it out of reach of children.

Note on Using Teeth Whitening Trays for Sensitive Teeth

• The sensation of tooth sensitivity is a normal part of the whitening process. It usually only lasts for a few days after the whitening treatment. Due to this sensitivity, you can choose to wear the tray every other day or less frequently to achieve gradual cosmetic changes.
• Stop using the tray and gel when you are satisfied with the color. Remember that the natural color of teeth is never pure white. The whitening gel will brighten your teeth but may not necessarily remove all internal stains; in such cases, teeth may never achieve a completely uniform color. The gel will not whiten dental crowns, veneers, fillings, or the surfaces of tooth roots.
• One tip in using teeth whitening trays is that if your teeth are overly sensitive, you can fill the tray with toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth (such as Sensodyne) and wear it for a few hours.
• Avoid, for one month after whitening your teeth, smoking, dark-colored foods, and beverages such as coffee, tea, berries, curry, etc. This will enhance the long-term results of teeth whitening.
• In rare cases, an allergic reaction to the gel may occur. You may experience widespread mouth swelling and discomfort. Stop using the product and consult your dentist.
