    The main problem I can forsee with these type of treatments is the trays. Trays from your dentist will be custom made and will fit well, these boil and bite type trays are very ill fitting and may result in either having to use too much bleaching agent or they wont stay in well enough to keep the agent adequtely in contact with the teeth. In any case, it would be wise to discuss with your dentist whether or not bleaching will work for you or if there are any forseeable problems associated.
  • sky , ive ordered some crest strips (supreme) off of ebay .....

    ill let you know how i get on .... maybe im just being fussy though as my teeth are not that bad ,,,, certainy seen alot worst , my dentist says mine are just normal for a 38 year old and that a branded product should not do me any harm

    A family member was quoted £480 minimum by our private dentist. From what I hear this is average.
  • Get the Crest Strips from ebay, they really do work

    Having had a look at the website it's not as strong as some products available (up to 25% Carbamide Peroxide)
    Just be aware that usage of this product may cause sensitivity, DO NOT overload the tray,
    be aware that crowns, veneers and white fillings in your front teeth will not lighten in shade and may be more obvious after treatment.
    Take the before and after pictures with a pinch of salt, I would speak to your dentist about your gum condition BEFORE starting this treatment.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    There are quite a few teeth whitening threads on the health board, so I'll move your thread over there where hopefully you will get more replies.

    can you get them anywhere other than ebay?
    Fr. Stack: While you were out, I got the keys to your car. And drove it into a big wall. And if you don't like it, tough. I've had my fun, and that's all that matters.
