Home Bleaching is becoming increasingly popular in Hong Kong. For patients who wish to improve their smiles at home by removing yellow stains on their teeth, using at-home teeth whitening is a great method.

Dentists will customize unique trays for each patient and provide guidance on safely performing at-home teeth whitening. These take-home teeth whitening trays allow patients to comfortably whiten their teeth at home. Although the price of custom-made whitening trays is higher than regular over-the-counter whitening products, the results are more ideal.

Procedure For At-Home Teeth Whitening

1. Place Whitening Gel Into The Custom Tray
   Squeeze a continuous bead of gel into the custom tray, positioning it on the front or bottom half of the teeth. Each tray typically requires about half to one-third of the syringe of gel. Store any leftover whitening gel in a cool place for future use.
2. Place The Tray
   Place the tray into your mouth and gently tap it to ensure it fits snugly against both sides of your teeth. Wear it for the appropriate amount of time as directed by your dentist. Generally, gel concentrations range from 10% to 35%, with lower concentrations requiring longer wear times.
3. Remove the tray and brush your teeth gently
   Take out the tray, use a soft toothbrush to clean off any excess gel. Rinse your mouth twice, being careful not to swallow any gel.
4. Clean the tray
   Clean the tray with a toothbrush and room temperature water. Then, you can store it in your tray case and repeat your whitening treatment the next day, until you achieve the desired results. If you experience any significant sensitivity during the treatment, please discontinue the at-home whitening treatment and contact our healthcare provider.
