When ordering this you get an instruction manual, 2 tubes of gel, 2 mouth pieces, and 1 tube of bleach. Along with that you will get a link to a video that walks you through each step of the process to get everything ready to use the kit.
To start off with the 2 mouth pieces: they are a fairly thick, so heating them for 3 or 4 seconds for me did not get the job done. I tried the 4 seconds and I had zero impressions from my teeth. So I decided to leave it in for about 10 seconds and then quickly stuck it in my mouth and did the suction part. Again, not 1 tooth impression. So on my third time I placed the mouth piece in the boiling water for 30 seconds and then quickly to my mouth in the same manner. This time there was only a slight sign of a couple of teeth in the whole tray. I did not dare go any longer then that though since it burned my gums.
The next step for this is using the tubes included in the package. To start off you are to put a dab of gel in each tooth impression if you were lucky enough to get them. Do not overload the area because it is not very healthy for the gel to set on the gums for extended time. Now that you have the gel on it, you place the mouth pieces into your mouth for 15 to 30 minutes. I marked the bottom plate of mine with a small cut at the back of the molar area so I would make sure I was using it on the same set of teeth each time. I also took the tabs off of the from of the mouth pieces once I had them formed up. This keeps you from drooling all over yourself while the pieces are in. Now once the gel part is done you can move to bleaching your teeth. This requires some work. You have to dry the teeth then apply the bleach to your teeth. From there not closing your mouth or rubbing off the bleach in any manner. I found that I was having a hard time keeping my lips from touching my teeth so I put the bleach on my teeth and them I took my mouth pieces and put them over the top of the bleach. If you do this part the way I did, make sure that you have cleaned all of the gel out and washed/dried both plates. From there it keeps the bleach in place for me. After the bleaching is one you can rinse your mouth out well and you have completed one treatment.
If you experience any discomfort from the gel or bleaching it says to stop the bleaching process for 2 to 4 days. The other suggestion is to cut back on the time that it is in your mouth. I did experience a lot of discomfort from this kit. There is a reason they claim that it is the fastest working kit on the market. Now the gel does not smell the best, but most cleaning products I have ever come across never smelled all that great.
The manual and video are a great addition to this process because other wise I would not have known even where to start. They mainly cover getting the mouth pieces ready and forming them to your mouth. The manual does go into details about when not to use this home treatment. For instance, if you are pregnant, exposed roots, or recent surgery in the mouth/jaw area.
Over all the product did as it claims. It did help with whitening my teeth. Now the important part: do not get sucked in on this free gel refills. For starters that is only part of the kit, that does not include the bleach tubes which does the majority of the whitening. To start with they charge a penny, that makes it not free! Next you can not order more then 1 tube at a time and must pay shipping for each tube. This is where they have their costs covered for the "free" refills.
If you are in the market for a teeth whitening kit and do not have any sensitive gum issues this kit would work great for you. On the other hand if you have sensitive gums be prepared to feel like someone has struck a torch up in your mouth and throwing gasoline on top of it. I would like to thank Advanta Supplements for sending me this teeth whitening kit to try and leave my opinion.
