I lost the instructions. How long do you leave the trays on, & when you remove the trays, do your brush your teeth, rinse or just leave the residue?

The instructions recommend 30 minutes for this strength. I personally take a wet tooth brush and remove the gel residue so it doesn't hurt my gums. I do not rinse.

My dentist recommends leaving the trays on for 60 minutes. I generally just rinse my mouth afterwards.

Wow are you serious? I leave mine on all night and take them out in the morning. Is this why my teeth sting when I do this?Typically about 7 hours. Is this wrong? I often get comments on how white my teeth are though.

Sensitivity may occur and this is what this is for..if you experience a burning sensation or irritation from using the whitening solution, brush your teeth, and simply apply a small amount to your teeth traus and wear them for 30 min.. remove and rinse trays and your mouth with cold water. I've only had to do this once and only on lower gums, so I did not use the gel for the top. You can use this twice per day until symptoms are relieved. Do not use the whitening gel while treating your sensitivity.

Twist off blunt tip, put on long tip, make sure cover is off tip. Squeeze very small amount into center of well of each "the tooth" of your tray. Good luck!

Mine came with zero instructions on how to use but, as I've used several of these style produced in the past, I just applied the same rules with this. Each tube given has a measurement on its side for ounces, using even numbers starting at 2. I used one ounce in each tray. They say its enough gel for double the uses than I was able to use. I found if I used less, not all of each tooth got covered well and it isn't whiten as nice. You can try and preserve you supply by using 1/2 an ounce for each tray but I think you'll find a full ounce much more effective. I'd leave it in at least 10 minutes so your teeth ave tie to whiten. I wouldn't do more than 15 minutes because it some times will cause tooth sensitivity like many whiteners do. I did find my first usage to make my gums white in spots, even with the half ounce amount. Please don't freak like I did, if you give our teeth a soft brush to eat the gel, off and wait an hour, you'll find he worry was for nothing as your mouth is back to normal :) it's kind of the same with any whitener... Some times the gums get temperatily pale. Happens to everyone I know that's done it.

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!!

Hi. If your face was clean when you first put them on, no need to rinse. Plus, rinsing would probably denature the adhesive and whatever compound they use on them. I use them over and over again. Good luck!

I leave mine plugged in and in the base all the time. I alternate every other night brushing my teeth with a manual toothbrush. When I floss after using the Sonicare, it's *gross* how much gunk I'm able to get out easily. That alone proves how effective the Sonicare is at moving stuff out of the gums to where it can be removed. Just keep that kind of thing in mind: Sonicare vs. rotting gunk.

Position the scraper over the back of your tongue and gently scrape forward a few times to remove the whitish coating. This will remove plaque build up on your tongue and leave your breath much fresher. I noticed that I still have residue even after brushing my teeth with a Sonicare brush or manual toothbrush so the tongue scraper is a must!

Sure! Brush teeth do not floss. Apply gel to trays spread with brush thinly front and back. Try not to use too much it can irritate your gums. Leave trays in. Put led light on place it between your teeth and leave on and in mouth. 1-2 hours. Or no light 2 hours. Rinse mouth after. Then eat and drink as usual. On light, open battery casing pull tab to activate batteries. Then turn light on!

First of all I commend you for even thinking ahead and wanting to clean these filters, because that is truly the key component that is essential to their proper functionality. I have two methods. Sometimes I just use simple dish detergent like Dawn and a old toothbrush (or other soft brush) and water. Scrub lightly, rinse thoroughly, and AIR DRY BOTH SIDES THOROUGHLY before reinsertion. Other times I use bottled ammonia, water and an old toothbrush. After they are thoroughly dry and you reinsert them you will definitely notice how much fresher they smell. I run my machine 24/7/365 so I replace my plates usually every 6 - 8 months or so. You'll be able to tell when your plates are ready for retirement because the "fresh" smell will not be as strong as you are used to, even when your plates have just been cleaned. Hope this helps.

You mean your teeth didn't get any color on them? It usually takes me a while to get the color off. Better yet, just go to Ora wellness website for a good brushing technique and you're not going to need these anymore.

I clean mine semi-regularly FIRST by washing out with Dawn dishwashing soap & hot water, rinsing, THEN filling it with very hot water plus two denture cleaning tablets. I leave it fizzing for a couple of hours (or overnight), then rinse it well. This works well with all my thermal mugs, water bottles (glass, metal, ceramic, etc). I also soak the lids in the solution.

I had the same problem, I started rinsing them in warm water while they were still in the cleaning tray thingy, that seemed to help me.

You boil water then set them in them for a few seconds then place them in your mouth and suck them in against your teeth to form them. They will cool and get firm. They trays then can be used with any teeth whitening gel.

Boil a small pot of water once it comes to a boil shut off the heat. Put the tray in the water for 12 seconds. Then take it out with a spoon. Place it on your teeth bite down and suck in so no saliva gets in it. Bite down for 30 seconds then take it out to dry.

Well.....I'm not sure it's fungus, but I wash mine well after use and use hydrogen peroxide about once a week. I just pour a little over the bristles and let it sit for about 15 min. and then rinse thoroughly. I think you can put it in the dishwasher also. I used to be a dental assistant so I try to keep it as clean as possible. It is actually no different than any other toothbrush in that regard.
