Did anyone use both: regular and speed options? I would assume you get better results with speed but I am afraid it will make my teeth more sensitive.

I have only been using the speed system, i have exerienced no sensitivity with this. I usually do with other products even certain tooth pastes.

I was not aware of the two versions until just now. However, I used the regular one. I have pretty sensitive teeth and did not experience any problems whatsoever. Now that I know about the speed whitening product, I will try that one and post my comments shortly thereafter. I am very pleased with the results I have achieved with the regular version. Saw results after one use. I used it the first time for 20 minutes. I used it every day for two weeks, and then continued to use it for about 3 times a week after that. I have recommended it everyone!

I purchased a custom fit top and bottom tray and the first set of Opalescence cleaner during a dental appointment. You can purchase sets from dental offices that can make same day teeth molds for the purpose of preventing grinding while you sleep or others that you may find at pharmacies such as CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart but they are the type you heat up in water, take out "warm" and press against your teeth to mold. However, they may not hold up to the chemicals in the Opalescence gel. Best advice would be to contact your dentist to make them for you and the cost should be under $100.00 including you first Opalescence gel but at a lower concentration. My replacement gel is the PF 35% which for some people could be too strong for their teeth and gums. I haven't had those problems following the instructions for the length of time of being against your teeth. This higher concentration whitens much faster for me.

Um I used the product and my teeth became a lot whiter and I am just a normal person. Not everything works for everyone and it probably depends on the whitness of your teeth already, do you guys that just because the whitening system didn't work for you that it isn't going to work for anyone else?

I have used this for teeth whitening and I did not notice any teeth sensitivity! I noticed results instantly and always receive compliments on how white my teeth are!

Hi. There is a 1:3 ratio of hydrogen peroxide in carbinute. 10% peroxide. Hence your faster whitener is hydrogen peroxide. ZOOM works wonders, just be careful of your gums. I put the gel on my teeth half way up and let tray push whitener up. I cover my gums with blister. That is how strong it is...I hope that helps.

I too have TMJ and bouts with teeth sensitivity, however, I have had no issues using my Sonicare. My only issue is that it is loud when in use, but my teeth feel clean and healthy.

I have bought some from both dentist & Amazon and haven't noticed a difference, except for the price. If the gel gets cold it will seem thicker however. I guess just see if it works as it's supposed to. Good luck!

My husband has very sensitive teeth. He loves the Sonicare. We have been using it for over a year now I believe.

We searched and did not find a direct comparison of the PeriACTIL Precondition Kit to Periogen by any Amazon customer. If you search for 'Periactil Precondition White Paper' you will find an evaluation online showing, by using PeriACTIL, a 59.0% reduction in plaque index, 94.6% reduction in 6 mm perio pouches and a 58.41% improvement in the gingival index. The study was via PeriACTIL alone. Even better results could be anticipated by using the Preconditioner as well. Again, however, we do not have data comparing this to Periogen. We could not locate a white paper on Periogen. The PeriACTIL Precondition Kit does not contain fluoride, a controversial chemical. PeriACTIL contains xylitol, which Periogen does not. If you decide to use both, we recommend you use them at totally separate times and use PeriACTIL at least at bedtime for protection throughout the night. Please feel free to contact Med-Actil directly for one-on-one attention to your particular oral health issues. Patricia McGrew, Owner/Manager, Med-Actil LLC, Galveston TX

I have healthy teeth and gums as well. While the product was on my gums it hurt A LOT but went away within ~10 minutes after removal. Once I learned to use a smaller amount, there was no pain because it didn't come in contact with my gums. I'm sure everyone is a bit different. I teeth that are rather sensitive and the pain subsided quickly.

This product claims to stop morning breath which it does. Would a professor of Oral Biology and pathology (Israel Kleinberg) or the developer - Dr. Marvin Cohen market an unsafe product? Every customer needs to make their own decisions and should research any product before they invest their money. Dridi, the choice is yours to make. The ADA has a website that should be helpful.Thank you for the question. Be careful with your spelling.

Hi Michael,I did a litte research and there were no harmful effects that i can see but the tooth sensitivity was greatly increased when I used the product. I could not use the product fro more then 2 days in one session.

I can't answer that because I use both...whatever I can find. But they've made a huge difference in the sensitivity of my teeth...especially when I have to have them cleaned and scaled.

I use it sometimes when my teeth are sensitive. It's amazing. When I'm using the expensive one, seems like nothing can cause me tooth pain, not even frozen drinks. That's just me, and I only use it sometimes, but it proved to me that the product truly works. It's not just a fluoride-free alternative - it's actually better.

I've actually owned both of them and the more expensive one is much more effective at cleaning your teeth. You get what you pay for in this case? The batteries do run down quickly on the cheaper version. I usually carry the cheaper version on vacation so that I don't have to bring my charger for my more expensive toothbrush. It's more convenient. :)
