How to use teeth whitening kit?
Most whitening kits come with either strips, trays, or a pen. For tray‑based kits, brush your teeth 30 minutes before, apply a thin layer of gel into the trays, and wear them for the recommended time (usually 30–90 minutes or overnight). Rinse thoroughly afterward and clean the trays.
- Brush gently 30 minutes before applying the kit to remove plaque.
- Follow the exact wear time—longer does not mean better whitening.
- Rinse well after each session and clean trays or applicators as instructed.
