Did all of the reviewers who used the whitening gel, also use the device and mouthpiece, or did some use only the gel by itself without the device?

The gel is made to go with the device and the GLO light accelerates the whitener! I only use them together

I used device, mouthpiece and gel you have to use everything for it to work.

The gels don't work without the light apparatus. Using the entire system has worked well for me. I used the first set of gels as directed - every day for 10 days, then once a month for maintenance. I am happy with the results!

I don't know. I have used it for years and like it. The packaging shows it was developed by doctors and recommended by dentists. Maybe the website has the answer, or has a "contact" email address or FAQ portion.

I did not experience this, but I used the q-tip technique to evenly spread the gel over my teeth. I highly recommend doing that!

Yes, this is my question, too. I got an outdated Sonicare Intelliclean as a gift and cannot find replacement heads for it. However, I loved the sonic cleaning. Since it's fairly expensive, I'm trying to read all the comments/research that I can. The top 2 seem to be Phillips Sonicare Elite 7500 and the Oral B Triumph 9400. The Oral B cames out a shade ahead in some research, but I read that it does NOT have the sonic clean feature.

Yes! Everything is included. The gel the mouthpiece and the light. It actually works too!

Yes, it can be used without a mouthpiece, however the mouthpieces do make it a little easier to get air into the unit and make it more sanitary for sharing with others (if everyone uses their own mouthpiece).

Not sure about the teeth whitening but I will say I had an oral B rotating one and I prefer the Sonic vibrating model. My hygenist said the rotating brushes can damage your gumline if you are not careful.

Use one mouth piece for yourself. If you are considering having others use it, a straw works through the mouth piece. This will save you money on purchasing additional mouth pieces.

Yes. I got received the device before Christmas and used it today on my fiancé who is 65. I used it for 10 minutes on one side of his face and we were both amazed at the results. There was an instant lifting and toning of skin and his crow feet and laugh lines were diminished and the fine lines on his cheeks are practically gone. We are very happy and I am glad I invested in this machine. I am floored that we saw immediate results and we will continue to use this machine as it has worked a miracle on one side of his face after one use. I plan to use it later on my own face, cant wait!

I own/use the 3000 myself. I have never used our experienced the other models. I went to the Oral-B site and compared the models then read many reviews and settled on the 3000. Two of my friends have them and they liked them. (Fyi, I have had mine for less than two years and l'm having a battery life issue while charging the unit as instructed.)

I didn't notice any issues with the gel color staining my teeth. I did noticed that it helped with a little bit of the tooth sensitivity from the bleaching processes. What I mean is that it took away some of the sensitivity which allowed me to bleach my teeth sooner and get them whiter. So I've been happy and have used the treatment every other week or so. Once again the gel didn't cause any blue colored teeth it worked has advertised.

It's been at least six months since I last used this product. But, it seems to me that I got at least a week out of each tube. My dentist's office recommended only using a very small amount (the tip of a pencil) in each front tooth space of the retainer and mouth guard at each use. I reached the maximum amount of whitening quickly. The amount of whitening was determined by how white the existing crowns were. I bought the first four syringes and then bought a second set of 4, but only used one syringe before the dentist told me I had reached the right amount of whitening. The first set of four probably was enough.

Basically, this is an antibacterial, antitartar/plaque/gum disease preventive-curative/anti-inflammatory to gums and mouth ulcers of an instrument to use. Flossing need not be done, but I do it occassionally, just to make sure. Food particles can get stuck between some teeth, and not others. Ultrasound technology (high frequency sound) can also keep teeth whiter. Consult your dentist, but some are not very familiar with this item, or if they are, may say something to the effect: that more research is needed. Well, I bought it and use it anyway, and so far, I am better off with this instrument for better oral health.
