Opalescence at Home Teeth Whitening - Teeth Whitening Gel Syringes - 4 Pack of 35% Syringes - Mint

This product works great. The 35% solution is much stronger than the other versions, and hence, you dont need to leave it applied for so long. The unofficial directions I received with my order said you can leave on the 35% Opalescence for up to two hours. However, the PDF instruction sheet that you can download directly from the Opalescence website, says specifically to not leave the 35% applied for more than a half an hour. I would recommend that new users keep the solution on for less time in the beginning, gradually building up tolerance. The PF version also contains fluoride to help control sensitivity. When first using the 35%, I left it on for about two hours, and I did experience some sensitivity. The sensitivity went away in a day or two, no problem. After using it a few more times, I am now able to leave it on for about two hours with no sensitivity whatsoever. I cannot imagine trying to sleep with trays in, because you definitely dont want to swallow any of this stuff. Thats one of the main benefits of using the stronger 35% solution: Reduced tray wear time. Since you wont be licking your lips or swallowing for a while, I like to apply a bit of chapstick to my lips, and have a good drink of water before getting started. The PDF instruction sheet from the Opalescence website also states that you should use approximately one third to one half (total) of a syringe worth of solution to fill both trays. Good to know. To target specific stains, I add a little extra to that spot on the tray, and I apply a bit of solution directly to my teeth. The syringe makes it easy to put the product right where you want it. Dont bother putting solution on the back of the trays, because no one is going to look at the back of your teeth. The date codes were explained to me this way: The numbers indicate a month and year of expiration. For instance, V023 indicates that the product expires in February of 2013. The seller I bought from was Jawtooth. As far as trays go, a standard custom mouth guard worked well, though obviously custom fitted trays from your dentist will work better. The mouth guards can be had for about a buck a piece in retail stores, but if you buy them on Amazon, you get three for under two bucks. Nice to have an extra in case of a misfitting. The results this product produces are fantastic. I had a dentist ask me if my teeth were caps. (theyre not) No kidding. I will use this product for as long as Amazon sells it. There is no reason whatsoever to waste your time and money on store bought white strips, solutions, toothpaste, or mouthwash. This product really does whiten your teeth much better. Hope my experience makes using the product a bit easier and less intimidating for you. Ill update if I think of anything else helpful or relevant.

pros: I love that it works so well. SENSITIVITY APPROVE! I’m really sensitive to the point that if I drink cold water my teeth hurt really bad I left this product on for 20 mins and I was fine expect for my bad gum application. Only 10 minutes with the product on and you really can tell the difference. You can do multiple sessions if you know how to apply the product. (The pictures above was my first trial) Cons: it burn if you apply on your gums so make sure you know how to apply it or it will burn you but only the first 5 minutes. Once you remove it the burn gum will dismounted and it goes away within an hour as you can see in the last two pictures.

Opalescence 35% is amazing stuff that really works! See my tips below before you start using. 1. Start brushing your teeth with Sensodyne or a sensitivity reducing toothpaste a couple days before starting. 2. Make sure to use good retainers for applying the gel. 3. Apply one tiny dot per tooth in the retainer and make sure the retainer is fully dry before applying so it will stay in place. 4. Make sure that none of the gel will come in contact with your gums. 5. Wear them for no longer than 1 hr per day. 6. Swish with water immediately after removing the retainers and gel and make sure not to swallow any gel/water. 7. Then immediately swish with a clear fluoride containing mouthwash such as Tom’s of Maine Whole Care. 8. Don’t eat or drink for 30 minutes and let the fluoride do it’s work. 9. During treatments and for 48 hours post treatment, make sure not to eat or drink anything that could stain your teeth - coffee, soda, tea, berries, mustard, etc.

It did what it was supposed to do.

The results were immediate. I will order this again.

No dislikes. Product functions fine.

Minor whitening. Inconsistant stentgth. At first use the gel burned my lower gums. After recovering, I tried again and no irritation.

I had no problem with gum sensitivity using the 35% formula. And, it works fantastic. Just be careful not to overfill your trays and your gums will be fine. I’ve used the 20% formula in the past, but like this better because I don’t have to leave the trays in my mouth for so long. I kept them in a little longer than suggested - I kept them in for one hour. He did a great job. I will do a few more treatments until I get my teeth the color shade that I want. I highly recommend.

I initially got this from my dentist for $99 with trays and three pens I think, but the gel was 15% which takes hours. My dentist gave clear instructions only to use a little!!! Before ordering the 35%, my only problem was how long I had to leave it in. since upgrading to 35%, it worked much faster, and now months later, I have a noticeably whiter smile. To maintain, I do it maybe once every two weeks, and I use a whitening mouthwash twice a day when I’m not bleaching. Great product! Easy to use! Easy to maintain. I’m writing my review now, as this will be my second order of the 35%. I still have syringes left of 15% that I store in the fridge. I have never burned my gums or lips or anything else.

Easy application. Invest some money and have your dentist make molds for upper and lower teeth. The gel only needs to applied in very small amounts when professional molds are made. The product does not irrate your gums. Within 3 days the product produces whiter teeth. Do not use everyday indefinitely. When your teeth are white you just need once a week application to remain white.
