The Teeth Whitening Process

1. Remove one catalyst paste and one base paste from the system box and mix the two together by rolling and kneading in your hand for approximately 45 seconds until well blended into one uniform colour with no white streaks. The material will begin to harden if mixed for more than 1 minute

Roll out the material to the width of the tray. Press the material and shape into the tray.

2.Take the loaded tray and place over the upper teeth. Teeth should be centred in the impression material. Press firmly and with your fingers so you can feel the material flow over your teeth and gums. DO NOT BITE DOWN - just hold in place with your fingers. The impression material will extrude through the holes on the tray. Keep the impression in place for one minute, then remove and rinse in cold water.

DO NOT 'WIGGLE' THE TRAYS SIDE TO SIDE OR BACK AND FORTH - YOU MUST PUSH THEM STRAIGHT ONTO THE TEETH AND PULL THE STRAIGHT OFF TO GET AN ACCURATE IMPRESSION.

3.Check to make sure that you can see the impressions of your teeth in the impression putty. In case of error, you may use the tray again. An extra pack of impression putty is included. To make the impressions for the lower teeth, repeat steps 1 and 2, placing the tray over the lower teeth. Remember not to bite down.

4. Fill in the card located on the inside flap of the system box. This card must be filled in completely and neatly - this is the only means our lab staff has of identifying your impressions!

5. Put the completed card and the trays with your impressions in them (DO NOT remove the impressions from the trays) into the envelope located under the black tray in your system box. Add your return address to the envelope and put in the post.

6. After the lab processes your impressions, your custom fitted bleaching moulds will be sent back to you. Rinse and dry them thoroughly. Apply one drop of gel about the size of a pinhead into each tooth impression, and then slide the mould onto your teeth. The teeth whitening process then begins!
