Should the pen and tray be used together? Or pen is an alternative method? Also, I have a hard time to make the dental tray stay on my teeth. Any tips? Thanks.

Thank you, Travis. Many reviews do look fake -- how can a no name brand get 75 reviews in only 2 months of product launch? Anyway, since I've already bought it, I'll keep trying. Appreciate your tips, though.

No real tips for the tray. It the problem is that it isn't form-fit you could always try re-sizing it. But it is a challenge to leave the trays in for 15-30 minutes as directed. I just got the kit today and I'm planning on doing the pen every morning and night after I brush my teeth, and doing the bleach trays once a day at the most convenient time (whether that be during the morning or evening). Sadly there are LOT of fake reviews for this product but due to the low cost I'm giving this a shot. Let me know how the product works out for you, "XL".

I would agree - most of the reviews look fake. Even really good products get one or two bad reviews. I really wish Amazon had a way or reporting abuse for that type of thing. (This not the only product I've seen this happen with).

S. Chant, for some reason my phone will not let me answer your second question so I will answer you here. I dont think the light\gel combo would make any difference. I just did some research and the light IS supposed to activate the gel. In my opinion so far, the light didnt do anything as I could see the gel bubbling on my teeth without it. I will try again tonight and see what happens.

I purchased a custom fit top and bottom tray and the first set of Opalescence cleaner during a dental appointment. You can purchase sets from dental offices that can make same day teeth molds for the purpose of preventing grinding while you sleep or others that you may find at pharmacies such as CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart but they are the type you heat up in water, take out "warm" and press against your teeth to mold. However, they may not hold up to the chemicals in the Opalescence gel. Best advice would be to contact your dentist to make them for you and the cost should be under $100.00 including you first Opalescence gel but at a lower concentration. My replacement gel is the PF 35% which for some people could be too strong for their teeth and gums. I haven't had those problems following the instructions for the length of time of being against your teeth. This higher concentration whitens much faster for me.

Don't try to use both trays at once. It seems to take at least 5 minutes (or more) per tray.

I just realized that I think you mean the final trays for the whitening process. They are very well made and work very well.I don't know how sharp his teeth are but he is 44 - so they are definitely sharper than mine. No cavities to knock them down.Just front teeth problems from a childhood injury - hence the implant. I don't think you need to worry about biting through the finished whitening trays.Also, they are designed to bathe your teeth (individually) to the solution and do a far better job than the cheap trays that have no tooth impressions.

Hello, I have used it both ways. When I bought the case I wasn't aware that the pen came with it. Was pleased that it did. It is a lot easier to use the cell with the pen but you don't have to use it. Sure do like the case :-)

I suggest buying new trays at walmart. Cut them down along the top to fit comfortably in your mouth, then stick the light tightly against the tray and close your lips around the whole thing! It feels weird but...and hold the light tightly in your mouth with your hand. Hope this helps!

take old tooth brush and brush it off :) but for future, when and WHEN/if the adhesive stops working, i'll be adding some sticky glue to it. The ones you buy in office depot are awesome for this. p.s the adhesive still works. I had the pad for over a 8 months now

My tip fit on to my old waterpik perfectly until I had to buy a new waterpik. It does not fit on the new waterpik...any suggestions?

I have to put the gel on a q-tip and rub it on my teeth before putting my trays in. Hope that helps some!

You don't use the syringe directly on your teeth. You need custom trays from your dentist or you can purchase a kit to make them yourself. You can find them on Amazon. You squeeze a small dot of the gel onto the trays where each tooth will be. Then place the trays in your mouth. There should be instructions on how to use the whitening gel inside the package. Good luck.

I had complained that it was false advertising that the holders arrived unattached to the stylus because the pictures showed them attached. There is a hole at the end of the pen. With a pair of small plyers, stretch open the metal ring on the holder & loop it thru the hole. Was not easy. Just one pen took me a good ten minutes. Hope this helps, Anne.:)

I've been using it for a while now and I do think it works well. They recommend just water but every once in a while you can put mouthwash in it and it does a little better job of getting things clean. It is much easier than brushing your mouthguard or dentures everyday. Just place them in the container, fill with water or mouthwash and push the button. It runs for about five minutes. Remove container, rinse and you're done. I would definitely buy another if this one would break. Good luck.

Every time you put the whitening trays in...I used once a week. You have to put the gel in the trays...put those in your mouth...and then put the light in your mouth over top of the trays...a bit awkward to do.

I am not sure I finished my answer. I bought very thin trays that you can mold by dipping in hot water. When you buy this product at the dentist they give you custom trays.

Use one mouth piece for yourself. If you are considering having others use it, a straw works through the mouth piece. This will save you money on purchasing additional mouth pieces.

You'll need trays made for your mouth either from your dentist or you can get some DIY trays here on Amazon. Once you have the trays, use the syringe of whitening gel and place a small dot of the gel in each tooth indension of the tray. If this doesn't help, you may be able find more detailed instructions on the internet.
