Review on Opalescence Go Whitening Trays - Preloaded, 15% Hydrogen Peroxide - Mint Flavor by Doris Tran

UPDATE - 6 months later and just had to do some splints as a touch up prior to the crown. In general, I am still very satisfied with the result of the lightening of the kappa. ORIGINAL. My dentist gave me some samples of these aligners in preparation for a crown on my front tooth. After doing a little research, I found them here at Revain for a little less than a dentist's. The taste of the shells on your teeth isn't all that bad. When you take them off, the texture of the gel will surprise you. When I first used it I may have burned a spot on the gum line (a glob of gel got stuck right on the gum line). It turned white for a few minutes, but soon turned red (the next few days it was washed with salt water to cure it). Also took a few days break from the trays. If your gums are burning, try bending the splint down and away from the gum line (you may still have white patches on the gum line the first few times, but if you pull it away from the gum line right after the burning starts, that's it case it will stop).burning and the white spots on the gums will disappear in a minute or two). Another tip: I found that it is better not to brush your teeth in advance, you do not need to irritate the gums, and then add hydrogen peroxide there. Don't be afraid to take a few days off between mouthguards if your gums get sensitive. Halfway through the 10 day set I had no gum sensitivity/white spots on my gums. Also, you can get those weird light white spots on your teeth the first few times (middle pic), don't worry it's temporary and mine went away overnight. In general, I am very satisfied with the results. Lucky enough to buy this brand's whitening toothpaste (it has a nice mild flavor and they also have toothpaste for sensitive teeth). And be careful, it has no fillings. Since filling the entire front of my one front tooth (that's the one with the crown) it hasn't gotten any whiter. But it makes a good comparison of the color in the picture after (using a filling matches my other teeth very well). My dentist also warned me that I would need to use a mouthguard every few months to maintain that shade of white and prevent discoloration to match my front crown (whitening results are not permanent but can maintain a beautiful appearance with little maintenance). ). Otherwise, my dentist suggests a hydrogen peroxide mouthwash/toothpaste to keep up if you want to use less mouthguard. I hope my learning curve helps you.
