How to use custom fit tooth whitening trays.

Dr. Rich shows you how to use custom whitening trays. Whitening trays are also known as bleaching trays and are used to whiten teeth at home. Dr. Rich uses Opalescence whitening gel by Ultradent in the video but the technique will work for other brands of tooth bleaching gel as well. He shows how to load bleaching gel into the custom bleaching trays, how to insert the trays into your mouth, and how to clean the whitening trays after you are done using them.
I made a chart of wear times for different strengths of whitening gel.

We must be twins because I paid for the tray and gel kit from my dentist last year. I have NOT used the kit in a year. I just started using it today after asking the dental tech a few questions on Friday.

    Thank you! That was very clear and concise, and it answered all my many questions 🙏🏽 My “polyday” gel is from “2018-01”. Yes, I got it four years ago, and just procrastinated! My teeth have never been such a shade of yellow, and I’m really eager to whiten up! I don’t drink coffee, and barely any wine or tea… it’s just time. Just tried the first tube today. It comes out as a gel, not as a liquid. I have kept it in the fridge, I am hopeful that it will still work to some degree. The lower tray fits fine, the upper one, not as great. The upper one also causes me to have it get a mouthful of saliva, as well, so I may have to get a re-fitting 😞 to be able to tolerate it. The tubes say “9.5% hydrogen peroxide gel”. The dental assistant said to use it for *20 minutes*, which is markedly different from the amount of time you’re recommending. I’m going to call them to check if I mis-heard, or if they have another reason for that amount of time. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge 🙂

    Great video! I have a question though, my dentist told me not to brush my teeth immediately after removing the trays because it would remove the dental enamel which is softened due to the bleach. However in your video you recommend brushing your teeth after removing the trays. Have you ever experienced problems with your dental enamel?

    Hi. With in office bleaching using a blue light, your teeth will dehydrate just from your mouth being open for the length of the appointment. The dehydration makes your teeth look whiter, but then they will appear to get darker again in a couple of days as your teeth rehydrate. Whitening from the gel will last longer since it actually whitens your teeth and doesn't dehydrate them. I hope that makes sense.

Your trays should have a nice tight fit. If saliva can get in easily then the gel can come out easily.
