Step By Step to Use Whitening Gel Effectively

1. Brush and Rinse Your Teeth
Remove food particles to ensure gel works evenly.

2. Make Sure Your Teeth Are Dry
Use a tissue or clean cloth to lightly dry your teeth. Whitening gel sticks better on dry teeth and prevents dilution from saliva.

3. Apply a Small Amount of Gel Into the Tray
Place a thin line of whitening gel inside the front section of the whitening tray. A pea-sized amount per tooth area is usually enough.

4. Insert the Tray Into Your Mouth
Gently press the tray onto your teeth and wipe off any excess gel that touches your gums (to avoid irritation).

5. Leave the Gel for 5-6 Hours (for 15% PF)

This whitening gels are suitablefor overnight use, allowing you to whiten your teeth comfortably while you sleep. This formulations are mild and safe to wear for 5–6 hours, giving the gel more time to break down stains gradually.

6. Remove the Tray and Rinse Well

After the whitening time is completed:

Remove the tray
Rinse your mouth thoroughly
Brush off any remaining gel gently
Avoid colored or acidic drinks for the next 30–60 minutes.
