After reading the reviews, a lot of people are claiming pain in their teeth after using it for 2 hours...is it true?

I use these, and to help with the sensitivity I use Sensodyne Pro Enamel toothpaste and mouthwash during the 7 days I'm using the strips, had almost zero sensitivity!

I have heard this same thing. It hurt my sisters teeth after a bit. If you have sensitive teeth, then in it will cause pain. It doesn't bother me at all.

Yes, its true, IF used usual way. Without folding the strip its not gonna happen.

I agree about the sensodyne. I found that if I used the strips after I had been using the Crest 3D whitening toothpaste exclusively, I got sensitivity. So I suggest using a sensodyne type toothpaste for a week or more before using the strips. Then when you are done you can go back to whitening toothpaste. Both the strips and the 3D toothpaste worked great though.

I used them one year ago and had sensitivity for up to 2 days after each application; so I'd wear them every 3 days. I think they work if you can get past the sensitivity. This year I had the same sensitivity issue and I actually only got the nerve to use 2 strips - maybe I'll try the rest in the near future. Trying a new toothpaste now which whitens without sensitivity. I'll post a review of the whitening results after my 3 month trial - no sensitivity though!

I'm not sure. I personally have sensative teeth a little and I can only leave it on my teeth for 5, maybe 10 minutes, or else I get a really bad pain in my teeth. If your able to I would just ask your dentist.

It's perfect! I've been using it for 2 months i believe. I use it for the whoooole area. The first time, not gonna lie, will be a rather painful, but 100% worth it!. After that the hairs grow back here and there, alot thinner, and i hardly even feel it anymore. Now i'm always smooth and ready to go. ; )Recommendation, soak in a nice warm bubble bath first, and then use lotion right after. Also the redness/irritation from having your hair yanked out by its roots usually only lasts around 24 hours. After a few uses that also gets less noticable. Nothing nearly as bad as the horrible irritation i get from constantly shaving the area.Definitely buy this, i absolutely love it. Best one i've ever used! It's perfect!

I've read on many other reviews to use a soft bristle brush. I have sensitive teeth and didn't experience any discomfort in my teeth but a little in my gums but it only lasted a few minutes.

No this product causes your teeth to become very sensitive after you start to use it. And can last as long as 2-3 days. I do like the results but u have to take a little discomfort

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 did not experience any soreness, did you adjust it to fit as snugly as possible? Mine fits on the teeth but not low enough to reach my bottom gums. I am continually surprised it's still in my mouth in the morning.

I was told to wear trays 2 hours..if teeth are not white enough wear them the next nite..the product could make your teeth sensitive.

No...I have used this product for a couple of years (almost daily) and haven't noticed any difference with my teeth!

Wow are you serious? I leave mine on all night and take them out in the morning. Is this why my teeth sting when I do this?Typically about 7 hours. Is this wrong? I often get comments on how white my teeth are though.

No, I have recommend this to a friend just today. Both my daughter and myself have been using it for a long time. I originally got it because a dentist screwed up my plate with an "office reline." Needless to say I never will return to that dentist. I have had dentures since I was 8 years old, and this is great.

If you have no gum discomfort, start with 20 minutes and work your way up. I use it for an hour.

I only ever use it on max power. Even around mouth and eyes. It doesn't bother me at all. I didn't even really have to work up to it either, except I felt it out because others warned it was uncomfortable. I use it 30+ minutes/day, too.I DEFINITELY notice the effects, and I love it!Not sure if it's because of my using it for so long at so high, but it stopped working after a few months. I called the customer support number on the website and they are sending me a new one. I MISS it! I feel like I look so old.

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.

My experience has been varied. If I don;t have the device correctly placed, I will experience discomfort (pain) within an hour. If it is correctly placed, I can get several hours of wear. I have yet to precisely identify what is correct placement. Apparently, the tolerance envelope is very narrow. I make no attempt to use the device while sleeping, thinking that the body needs some downtime relief. My incontenance problem is minimal while sleeping

Difficult to respond when I don't know where the pain was. I have found that over-using it can cause pain, but not after just a few minutes. You may be leaning into it too strongly; try leaning into it only lightly until you get a sense of the pressure that is just right for you.

I don't think so. I used mine for bout 2 hours and wow does it really work good it's fast acting too!
