Could I use other whitening gels in this device? I have a really great hydrogen peroxide formula that I couldn't use due to a poor tray design.

I would say use at your own risk. The trays for GLO are very basic, something that you would use as an athlete, i.e. mouth guard.

Hi Lunamar, that's a good question that I don't really know how to answer. I was confused about why there were two whitening gels included as well. I've been using the large syringe, which achieves good whitening results. One of them might be a higher whitening concentration, but I'm not 100% on the difference between the two.

That's up to you - it comes with nothing like that. You can use it dry or you could buy something like you described. Myself, I use ordinary toothpaste. OBTW, that whitening cup really does work � fabulous white results you would never get with just paste and a brush.

No these gels you have to use with the mouth piece but if that's to expensive GLO has gels that you do use by themselves. I think they're called Solo Teeth Whitening G-Vials

yes. Just do a search for bleaching trays, they come in 1pcs or 2pcs from $3 on up. I found a good 1pcs universal soft rubber bleaching tray for only 5$ on amazon or online forget which and it has worked nice down to the gum line with the watts power gel as long as you dry your teeth/gums with a cloth before you put the tray in. I used all 4 tubes with good results on a five dollar tray so no need to go to the greedy dentist they charge you hundreds for trays/gel. I only spent $32 total for a tray and watts gel.

I have a molded tray from my dentist. A tray is needed. About 3 applications from each tube.

Brian,I think any whitening action would be accomplished by the toothpaste and/or mouthwash you use. The brushing action of the Sonicare is aggressive enough that it should remove surface stains but YMMV :).

I had my trays made by the dentist. However, i believe generic ones can be bought. Once you have your tray, prepare the syringe for use by twisting off the end (90 degrees) and attach the despondencing end onto the syringe. Then squeeze a small rain drop sized drop on to each individual tooth area on the tray. Be careful not to use too much because when you put the trays in, the formula will go over the sides. Moreover, too much contact with your gums will make them sore. Use daily until you have the level of white you require. I hope this helps.

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.

You can try to keep a towel underneath your chin to catch any saliva that might come from your mouth. This is a typical remedy for any whitening product as you will not want to swallow the gel. You can also cut off the tabs of the mouth-trays after you mold them to your mouth so they will fit more easily in a closed mouth.

I started out using Nupro when I first got my whitening molds from my dentist. They came with the molds. However, when it was time for me to get new gel I called my dentist to ask them where I could purchase the gel and they told me they no longer use Nupro and recommend their patients use Opalescence. I've been using Opalescence since then. I will say that I don't remember much of a difference in the gel other than the strength. I never asked why they switched.

Hi Kelly,I have know idea sorry, I just use as directed per directions on the box. however I find that this product foams up to much when I put it in the teeth tray and when pressed to my teeth it all foams away. does look like it works though my teeth do look whiter. I will buy 22% ACP next time not the 14%.

I'm not sure what an invisalign tray is. I've used Stain Away on my dentures for years. You might try emailing the manufacturer, Regent Labs. I googled how to clean them. Maybe this website will help you. http://voices.yahoo.com/keeping-invisalign-trays-clean-fresh-881949.html

You can use the "Pro Clean" and the "Pro Whitening" on the Pro Whitening Spinbrush, but the "Pro Whitening" brushes are better.DawnD

Yes, I have used other cleaners. Since I use half a tablet of Retainer Bright, the cost is similar. Buying the larger supply means I don't have to go out to buy the cleaner regularly. My dentist suggested Retainer Bright because another patient found Retainer Bright online and used it and had the best looking retainers. It was also my dentist who suggested using the half tablet

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.
