Instructions for use
Whitening Instructions:
1) Floss and brush your teeth.
Make sure that the bleaching trays are clean and dry before applying the whitening gel.
2) Twist off the clear plastic cap from the syringe and replace with the mixing nozzle.
2) Place a small "teardrop" amount of gel in each tooth compartment in the tray. Too much gel will spread up to the gum line which can irritate your gums.
3) Insert whitening tray in the mouth over teeth. If gel seeps over the brim of the tray onto your gums, wipe away excess gel with a tissue.
Be sure that the tray is completely seated. You may see “bubbling” within your trays while wearing them. This bubbling is actually part of the whitening process.
4) Depending on the type of gel you have follow these wear times below:
DayWhite 6 % HP = Wear 30-90 min. once daily
DayWhite 9.5% HP = Wear 30-60 min. once daily
DayWhite 14% HP = Wear 30 min. once daily
NiteWhite 10% CP = Wear 2-4 hours once daily or overnight
NiteWhite 16% CP = Wear 2-4 hours once daily or overnight
NiteWhite 22% CP = Wear 2-4 hours once daily or overnight
5) After whitening, remove and rinse the trays with cold water. Hot water may damage the trays. If necessary, use a toothbrush to remove any residual gel. Place the trays in the storage case, and store them in a cool, dry place. Rinse and brush excess gel from the teeth.

Do I need a custom whitening tray or can I use my aligner tray?
Clear aligners are designed to straighten your teeth which means they have a very snug fit. Teeth whitening trays created by your dentist are contoured to fit your teeth, but still have a little "give" or space which allows the bleaching gel enough movement to prevent overflow in the mouth. If you apply teeth whitening gel to your clear aligner, it will push most if not all of the gel out of the tray and into your mouth thus wasting the gel and causing irritation to the tissues in your mouth.
