Q: How often should I use the kit and for how long?

Q: Do I brush my teeth before hand?
A: Yes, brushing your teeth before application is recommended.

Q: Should I floss before brightening?
A: No, flossing before hand can irritate your gums.

Q: Should use for 5min twice a day or 10min once a day?
A: Whichever you prefer.

Q: Do I rinse afterwards?
A: Do not rinse, eat, or drink for 20 minutes, as your teeth will continue the whitening process.

Q: How long after whitening do I put my aligners back in?

A: No eating or drinking for 20 minutes following application.

Q: Do I brush after the 20 minutes is up?

A: A decent layer of gel is all that's needed. You may still have plenty left over.

Q: What do I do if my kit is missing whitening gel or led light?

When I use the whitening gel, I produce a lot of saliva. Will the saliva impede the whitening process?

I came her to learn how to use the Whitner but instead I fell in love

So do you put your aligners back in after 5 minutes or do you wait till after the additional 20 minutes? Do you rinse after 20 or not till your next meal? You’re not very clear on this.

I have a big question. Your phone said 10 minutes but the website instructions say to wear it for only 5? Which one is correct?

[Cheymomofkings]

Do you have to use the light or can you just use the pen ?

[psychotherapy]

Can I use an additional treatment back to back after the first week if my teeth still aren't as white as I'd like?

[rickiiiboiii]

Argh... question! I got the whitening stuff in my smile direct box, but no whitening device? Do I have to ask smile direct to send me one or?

After using it for a week my teeth aren't as white as I would like so is it safe to continue using it until it's as white as I want them to be?

[beeisnthappy]

[emmi]

So it’s 10 whole minutes at once or 5 in the morning and 5 in the night?

Hi, I got my whitener set about 8 months ago.. but am only about to use it now. Does the gel expire? And if so when?

[jordanc]

Hi, after the first 5 minutes with the bright on light, am I able to put my aligners back in for the remaining 20 mins?
