How Do I Use Opalescence Home?
When you visit us for a teeth whitening consultation, we’ll evaluate your teeth and gums to ensure you’re a good candidate for this treatment.
If we recommend a 10% hydrogen peroxide formula, you’ll wear your trays for 30-60 minutes. If we recommend a 15% hydrogen peroxide formula, you’ll wear your trays for 15-20 minutes.
Once you’re home with your whitening kit, these are the steps you’ll follow:
- Step 1: Remove your whitening trays from their package.
- Step 2: Place the upper tray on your top teeth.
- Step 3: Bite down firmly, then suck on the tray for 2 seconds. Do NOT push the tray against your teeth, or the whitening gel may get on your gums and cause sensitivity.
- Step 4: Repeat the same process for your lower teeth.
- Step 5: Once you’re finished whitening, remove your trays and brush your teeth.
