Gently suck down or swallow. Do not press tray against teeth as that may push whitening gel against the gums which may cause tissue irritation.

Q: How long do I wear Opalescence take-home whitening?
A: The length of wear time for Opalescence take-home whitening will vary depending on the patient’s unique circumstances and preferences. Patients can choose from four concentrations for treatment flexibility from 30 minutes to overnight.
Q: How does whitening work?
A: Teeth whitening works intrinsically from the inside out, so there is no need for the entire tooth to be in contact with whitening agent in order for the entire tooth to be whitened. Peroxide gels break down into water, oxygen, and free radicals, which in turn oxidizes the bonds of coloured molecules that cause tooth discolouration.
Q: How long do whitening results last?
A: While whitening results are very stable long after the treatment is over, a few factors can affect the length of the whitening results such as genetics, diet, age, medication and certain habits. The procedure may need to be redone periodically.
Q: Will whitening cause tooth sensitivity?
A: Some people experience sensitivity while whitening, which is temporary. If desensitizing treatments are desired, we recommend the use of UltraEZ Desensitizing Gel or Enamelast Fluoride Varnish.
Q: Can Opalescence Go be used with braces?
A: The answer is yes! Opalescence Go prefilled, disposable trays are an easy, affordable option designed to fit directly over braces, allowing your patient to whiten during orthodontic treatment! Since whitening works as peroxide penetrates the tooth and spreads throughout, even the part of a tooth covered by the bracket will whiten. The whitening gel contains PF (potassium nitrate and fluoride). Potassium nitrate has been shown to reduce sensitivity. Fluoride has been shown to help reduce cavities and strengthen enamel. Its gentle hydrogen peroxide concentration effectively removes bacteria and biodebris from around teeth, gums, and brackets. In addition, recent studies have shown that the oxidation that occurs during the whitening process actually helps make the cement that keeps brackets on teeth even stronger.
Q: How should I store Opalescence GO?
A: Opalescence GO may be stored at room temperature.
Q: Will teeth whitening affect bond strength?
A: Even though whitening agents release a great amount of oxygen into the tooth, existing bonds are not weakened. If whitening before bonding, allow a period of 7–10 days after whitening. The high concentration of oxygen in the tooth could significantly and adversely affect polymerization of the resins.
