    Yes same here thanx sparkyg

    I'm ordering some today, how is it delivered will it come with the postman or anytime of day and will I have to sign for it? just worried if I'm not in.

    I was just wondering if its really hard to do bottom teeth coz if the tray has gel in it and you turn it upside down is it hard to keep in?

    It says on the site its best to do the front 8 teeth as no one sees the back is that what you do sparkyg?

    Hi Lady_K

    No, you don't have to sign for the delivery. Not sure if it comes from the postman. Know that's a kind of dumb answer:p , but I always have it delivered to work, and we get loads of parcels from different carriers. The package is about the size of a toddlers shoe box, so it certainly won't fit through the letterbox.

    The gel stays in the tray for the bottom teeth even when you turn it upside down. You only put a small dot in each tooth indentation, and it's thick enough to stay there until you squidge it down over your teeth.

    You only need to whiten the teeth that show when you smile. That's the front 8 for most people, but as I've got a very wide smile (commonly known as a big gob:rotfl: ) I whiten the 1st premolars as well.

    When my daughter got her trays from the dentist yesterday I was surprised to see they are rubbery and flexible. I really thought they would be like her other retainer that is firmer see through plastic is this right?
    Thanx

    Yes (need more characters to post the message!)
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.
  • apart from my dentist, were can i get 22% gel from a trusted source?

    There has been quite a lot of talk about dentist.net an American site on here. I'm ordering something from there today why do you use the 22% have you tried lower before?
    Thanx

    Lady_K
  • yes, am currently been using 16% for 3 weeks. My teeth have gotten whiter, but have reached a plato/wall and are not getting any whiter.

    Are you from the Uk or US?

    Well they should tell you the shipping cost and there is also a currency coverter on the site so you know exactly how much it will cost. spargyg member on here in one of his previous posts put how much it cost him including shipping and it wasnt much, in fact it should be much cheaper than getting from the dentist but its just the risk factor of getting from the net but it seems people are saying dentist.net is ok
    Thanx

    Lady_K
  • so, do you think i should get some 22% then?
