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 and then suck on the tray for two 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.
