For use with customised take-home whitening trays, Opalescence PF offers many options for patients. With its easy syringe delivery, Opalescence PF is easily customisable for each patient’s individual situation. The gel contains 20% water to prevent dehydration, and the sticky, viscous formula helps keep the gel and tray in place. With four concentrations and three flavours, patients can completely customise their whitening experience.
Apply one continuous bead of gel approximately halfway up the facial side of the tray from molar to molar. This should use about 1/2 to 1/3 of a syringe per tray. Insert the tray in your mouth and lightly tap it to adapt the sides to your teeth. Wear time depends on which concentration of Opalescence you use.
Opalescence 10%: 8–10 hours or overnight
Opalescence 15%: 4–6 hours
Remove tray and use a finger or soft toothbrush to clean any excess gel off your teeth. Rinse your mouth twice being sure not to swallow rinsed gel. Clean tray with soft brush and cool tap water. Store tray in the case that came with your kit. If you experience any significant sensitivity, stop your treatment and talk to your dentist.
