Teeth Whitening Trays

Step 2 :: Insert the teeth whitening trays into the water so the arches are completely submerged.

Step 3 :: Slowly wave the teeth whitening trays in the water while holding the tab until the tab becomes flexible. A slight loss of shape will be noticed in the trays.

Step 4 :: Lift the teeth whitening trays vertically from the water and test for flexibility. The tray material should be soft and pliable.

Step 5 :: Use your finger to slightly flatten and flare the front segment of the tray and then spread the tray to avoid it from folding on itself. Widen the teeth bleaching tray enough to accommodate fitting.

Step 6 :: Place teeth bleaching trays over upper teeth first. Use tab to approximate center. Bite down with moderate pressure to set trays in place.

Step 7 :: Press firmly over entire length of arch with first finger and thumb of both hands. The tray is conformed to the surfaces of the teeth when heat is no longer felt, approximately 15-30 seconds.

Step 8 :: Close lips and bite lightly a few times prior to removing the teeth bleaching trays.

Step 9 :: Allow teeth whitening trays to completely cool outside of the mouth.

Step 10 :: Place teeth bleaching trays in mouth and evaluate fit. Whitening trays should have precise but not overly tight fit. Rough edges or pressure points may be relieved by trimming with scissors and/or re-warming trays.
