How to Use
- Boil a pot of water and then submerge your mouthpiece into it for 5 to 15 seconds. You will see the mouthpiece begin to wilt. NOTE - Keeping the mouthpiece submerged too long will cause it to shrink.
- Place the mouthpiece into your mouth and press it against the front of your teeth with your fingers and the back of your teeth with your tongue. Let it cool and your mouthpiece is now perfectly molded to your teeth. NOTE - You will only need to conduct the boil-n-bite procedure once for each mouthpiece, not each time you conduct your whitening session.
- Squeeze Whitening gel into the front of your mouthpiece. You don't need to over fill it.
- Place mouthpiece over your teeth for 1-3 hours. Repeat this process for both upper and lower teeth once per day until teeth have reached desired shade of white.
- Remove the impression trays and material from the package. Your hands must be clean and dry before mixing the impression materials. Open one set of impression material (one container of blue putty and one container of yellow putty). Quickly mix the two colors of putty together. Knead and roll the two colors together, like mixing play dough, until fully blended into one color. Make sure that the putties are blended completely into one color (not two colors swirled together). Total mixing time should be less than 20 seconds. At 30 seconds, the material begins to harden. Roll the material into a cylindrical shape and place in the plastic impression tray.
- Take the tray filled with the impression material and place over the center of your upper teeth. Push the tray over your teeth with firm pressure while making sure that your teeth do not touch the plastic of the tray. Your teeth must be surrounded by the impression putty and not be touching the plastic. Make sure that your teeth and gums sink into the impression putty just past the level of your gums (your gums should be imbedded into the impression putty about of an inch). The impression material will squeeze through the holes in the tray). Keep the tray in place over your teeth for three minutes.
- Once the impression tray has been in place for three minutes, remove the tray from your mouth while leaving the impression material in the tray. Do not remove the material from the tray unless you need to retake your impressions. Rinse the impression with cold water and inspect. It is not necessary that your back teeth (rear molars) are included in the impression. However, it is critical that the front six teeth and gum line are clearly visible. The fit of your custom trays will depend on how precise you create your impressions. If needed, an extra set of impression material is included. The same tray may be used again if necessary.
- Repeat the above steps for your lower teeth.

Dental Whitening Gel Usage: Whitening gel is placed around the inside, front of the mouthpiece. There is no need for the whitening gel to come in contact with the back side of your teeth since they are not visible to others. Place the mouthpiece over your teeth. You will notice that the whitening gel squeezes so that full coverage of all teeth is attained. There may be some additional gel that overflows out of the mouthpiece into you mouth. Simply discard this overflow gel by spitting it out. You should wear the mouthpiece for 1 to 3 hours per whitening session. You may decrease your weartime or frequency of use if you experience sensitivities, although you whitening gel will stay active for up to 4 hours. Some people report watering of the mouth when whitening their teeth. This is a normal reaction and tends to diminish as time goes on. You will need to wear your mouthpieces for a total of 20 - 40 cumulative hours to complete the process. These cumulative hours of weartime can be completed in consecutive days or you may skip days if you like. It will not matter so long as you complete your 20 - 40 cumulative hours. After completion of each whitening session, wash your mouthpieces with water and store in a dry place. Be sure to keep your whitening gel refrigerated when not in use.
