I have a tooth gap when my 3rd molar was extracted 4 years ago, will the tray still fit me and the whitening gel still reach other areas?

Hi BradleysMom, I would go to sporting smiles website and call them or email them directly. The trays for me were molded about 12 teeth worth for the top and 14 teeth worth on the on the bottom. It's really the front 4-6 in my opinion that hold the trays in place so I don't see why it wouldn't work. Definitely call just in case though. I hear their customer service is friendly.

The trays are very professional. I had a molar extracted and I am eventually going to have a dental implant placed there. In the meantime I elected to go on and order this kit. A great deal, trust me. They sent the trays back to me and where I have a tooth missing they simply made the rubber tray to dip down and then go on to the next tooth. The extracted molar sat between two other teeth but it did not interfere with their design of my tray- hope this helps

Yeah I'm sure it will be fine. It's custom, so just be sure when making the mold to get a good impression of the gap.

Of course. You receive a big tray for the molding clay and then you make an impression. They will make the custom whitening tray to the impression you send them, to fit you perfectly.

I just answered but wanted to say one more thing. Your rear molars do not really need to be whitened, only the front teeth people can see really. So, if your mold covers all visible teeth, you're good to go.

Boil water to fit your mouth piece, place mouthpiece in water for a few seconds, Don't swish it or shake water off, place in your mouth Won't hurt and shck hard to shrink fit the mouth piece. To bleach: place small drop of gel 1/4 cc in the front if tray about 6 to 8 teeth, don't overload put in your mouth about 15- 30 minutes. Wipe execs from gums if you have pain, STOP! You can trim the trays w/scissors if they touch your gums.clean and rinse trays 3/Whitening- fill trays again, place in your mouth and place Whitnenong light between lips for thirty minutes the first time . Press the Whire button to turn on. Follow up treatments may only take ten to twenty minutes. Repeat process as necessary. 4-Remineralization:when you are done bleaching, rinse trays and place a small amount of gel in them. Place in your mouth for 4-5 minutes theyvreccomend doing this at night before bed. Remineralization once there after tonkeepnuour teeth white and during bleak process. *Sone people will experience disscomfort fir a few minutes that usually goes away. If it persists discontinue use.ic you have gum disease or are pregnant/ nursing,decayed teeth, exposed roots, wear braces or recently had oral surgery DO NOT USE! I experienced a flight burning sensation on my gums but it stopped after I finished and rinsed!

don't know for sure but my Oral-b is 2 years old and the brush fits perfectly. I think the all fit the same as long as it's Oral B. If not just return.

Yes, if you follow the package directions. I would also check with my dentist about long-term use.

It's been at least six months since I last used this product. But, it seems to me that I got at least a week out of each tube. My dentist's office recommended only using a very small amount (the tip of a pencil) in each front tooth space of the retainer and mouth guard at each use. I reached the maximum amount of whitening quickly. The amount of whitening was determined by how white the existing crowns were. I bought the first four syringes and then bought a second set of 4, but only used one syringe before the dentist told me I had reached the right amount of whitening. The first set of four probably was enough.

If the dental work changes the shape of your mouth or position of your teeth - then yes you will have ro buy a new one. This is guard is not one that you can boil and reshape. They are custom made to fit exactly.

I think it will maintain the current position of your teeth. If they shift after you make the retainers I think it will correct small differences to return them to the alignment of when you did the cast. However it cannot close a preexisting gap imo.

Yes, the kit will work for either upper OR lower teeth. It comes with two different sized trays depending upon the size of your mouth.

I would guess it's at least 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 but I could be off a bit. It does fit my invisallign with some extra space in there for it to move around. It's easy enough to fit both tray's with no problem. Hope that helps!

you should talk to your dentist. I think eventually your teeth will start shifting.

No it will not. I've used the trays numerous times and inspect them for any changes in composition.

I simply applied the gel to my upper and lower bleaching try and installed. If you use the correct amount it will fill the gaps and work good. Do as the directions say and don't use to much as it will bleach out your gums if it oozes out to much.....

No I just got trays that are for your teeth and then placed the gel in the tray, leave it on for a half hour! Works well!!

The product works moderately well for me. The bottom tray did not mold to my bottom teeth well but I did not find that to be problem. Applying more gel mid-treatment seems to speed things up. At my age (70+) I don't want superwhite teeth in fact I'm happy to have teeth at all. Several treatments did noticeably whiten my teeth, but far from what I've seen from dental office treatments. I use it about once a week to keep the worst stains at bay and I'm satisfied with that.

It depends on how old the original guard is. As you age, your teeth do shift forward. I've had one night guard made through the dentist simply no longer fit once I stopped using it for a year and it no longer would fit comfortably and fall out at night. The only option was a new one. If these soft dental guards are flexible, perhaps not an issue, but I'm old school with the hard acrylic and known that one's bite does change over time...

Yes it covers all the upper teeth including back molar. I clench and that is why I got it (after I lost my $600 one from my dentist). I think it is fabulous and I prefer it to the expensive one I lost. I do not know why it would say not to buy if you clench. It sure works for me. Just be careful and follow the directions EXACTLY when making your mold. I couldn't be more pleased with mine so I say, do it!

I'm not sure, but my gap has come back from not wearing them consistently. But I get instant results over night and I'll brush my teeth & the gap is back, so if I wore them every day before bed I'll see se permanent results
