Greater than one weekI used this with custom teeth trays. I can confirm this works great. But don’t use too much. You will have to learn to use the correct amount. If you use too much in a tray it will touch your gums and burn. It’s very very painful lol. I temporarily turned my lower gums white.

> 3 dayI have used another system through my DDS for going on a couple of years now…usually with that one I have to wear my trays overnight. This brand is AMAZING! I read reviews after I bought it and was concerned about burning gums…but I used my discretion and placed a small amount in my trays and had zero issues. Of course you don’t want to put a ton on there! I left on for 35 mins my first time and I can see just as much results as my previous overnight Brand! Yep I’m sold on these for as long as they’re available!

> 3 dayMy dentist was selling this but I can get it cheaper on Amazon. The cost is still like buying ounces of gold, but it does work for me. Beyond the price, my biggest gripe is how sticky the stuff is. Thats good for sticking to the teeth, I guess. I have custom made whitening trays so they match my teeth exactly. To clean out the used whitener, I have to soak them for quite a while in cool water. (Cold seem to work better than warm) This helps remove some gel, then I brush them out with a soft toothbrush. Then I dry as much as I can inside with a soft paper towel. Next I use q-tips to swab out each tooth mold and let them sit on a paper towel to dry completely (being very careful not to toss them out accidentally as I sadly did with a night guard - custom teeth appliances are also like gold) the molds virtually disappear on a white towel. The gel is clear, the molds are translucent, so it can be very hard to be sure all the old gel is out and THE MOLD IS COMPLETELY DRY. That last is emphasized, because if they arent clean and totally dry inside each tooth molding, you will have a devil of a time getting a blob off the applicator to stick into the spaces. I learned all this over a couple years of using it, so I know my method is working now. Im just adding all that as a possible help to others using this whitener who might be having the problems I did. Everyones whitening experience is different. I have to use it 10 days in a row initially and then every few days to renew. I dont have movie star teeth and they yellow quickly from eating anything, but this stuff gets them as white as possible without any sensitivity or any problems at all. I even leave it on for 30 minutes usually. I guess if there is a long term drawback to using it, Ill add an edit.

> 3 dayBefore I give my review, here is a quick WARNING: Ive been using this product for a while so let me save you some trouble if youre new to this gel. Keep all the syringes in the refrigerator to preserve its potency for a much longer time because one syringe lasts you several sessions. Next, I read a few people here comment on the burning sensation followed by white gums. Sorry to burst your bubble guys but the gel is not the problem in that case: its you. If you dont want to have painful burning gums from this stuff, please follow these instructions to a T- this is what was told to me by my dentist and worked like a charm every single time::: Apply a tiny drop of the gel to THE BOTTOM OF EVERY TOOTH in your custom mouth trays. DO NOTTTTTTTT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES apply any more than a little tiny bit over ONE SMALL DROP THE SIZE OF A BALL POINT PEN TIP on THE BOTTOM of each tooth. The reason for this- the gel is extremely strong and even a little bit that gets on your gums, starts burningggg within seconds! Its not anything unbearable but its very unpleasant. Dont let this scare you: even if you mess up the first time or 2, once you figure out just how much is the right amount, you will be extremely happy you found this product! The reason to put it on the BOTTOM of each tooth- the gel spreads upward toward your gumline once you put the trays against your teeth and it covers the whole tooth. Also, I suggest whitening the front 8-10 teeth only (basically to the tooth or 2 that goes right past your fangs) as those are the only ones that actually show and you want to keep the sensitivity to a minimum. Use sensadyne extra whitening toothpaste during this time as well to help keep the whitening going and also to reduce the brief sensitivity that follows the gel if you have sensitive teeth like me. And lastly, this is optional but just a suggestion: apply a thin layer of Vaseline with your finger to your gums, wipe excess off of your teeth with a paper towel and THEN apply the mouth trays with gel. This will significantly reduce any type of burning if some just so happens to get on your gums. Now as far as the review...I did NOT receive this product for any kind of discount or exchange (nothing in my life has come free so far haha..)- I actually initially got it from my dentist for $400! Very quick delivery, amazing product- as always. This is the second time Im ordering opalescence on Amazon. I recommend this seller as the transaction was flawless from start to finish. I received the product neatly packaged in a total of 2 business days. About a year and a half ago, I paid my dentist those $400 for custom molded mouth trays and this exact product. It worked like a charm and lasted a long time but $200 every time was not a price I wanted to pay for at home teeth whitening. However this was the BEST whitening product I have ever used so I was determined to find it cheaper. It dawned on me to check Amazon and lo and behold- its here!!! I cannot begin to tell you how incredible this whitening gel is. After about 10-15 sessions, people will start commenting and asking how you keep your teeth so white! I know such was the case for me at least. And keep in mind, at the time I was smoking a pack of cigs a day since I was 12 (26 now) and religiously drinking about 4-5 cups of coffee through the day and the same amount of tea at night- so my teeth were STAINED. Theyre not as stained right now, but they needed some whitening again so you will see the difference. I quit smoking this week so that was my motivation to get this going again. I dont have any pictures of before and after as I am going to start today, but I will update my review in about two weeks when there will be a noticeable difference so you guys can see what Im talking about! All in all, if you apply with caution and follow my instructions, this product is hands down the best whitening gel I have ever used and I bet it will be the same for you too! I recommend it whole heartedly and will always use this to whiten my teeth!

> 3 dayMake sure you do your research on the time you should have them in. My dr told me to put them on overnight in my Invisalign retainer. DONT DO THAT. It’s only meant to be a few hours at a time. If longer, it may make your gums sensitive for a couple days.

> 3 dayTake care if you have sensitive gums. Use less. I have my own personal dental trays, they work great with this.

> 3 dayNot sure why the comments are so negative. If you have experience bleaching your teeth, you shouldn’t have a problem. I put a tiny dot in each tooth of my retainer. Once you push them in, tap and push the front of your teeth. Wipe any excess gel. Wait up to an hour. Slight tingling, but no burning. To help with sensitivity, use sensodyne for a few days before bleaching After the first use (I only used for 30 minutes) I can already tell the difference. Will use until I get the whiteness I want.

> 3 dayThis is a pretty good at home teeth whitener. I have used it a couple of times and Im happy with the results. Keep in mind that these are just the syringes of whitener these dont come with the teeth molds. You have to buy the molds separately.
