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.0 -
apart from my dentist, were can i get 22% gel from a trusted source?0

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_K0 -
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?0 -
I'm from uk what product were you using at 16%?Thanx
Lady_K0 -
yes, am from the uk too, am worried about the high shipping cost from america, if i buy from dentist.net. Am currently using dr georges 16% teeth whitening kit.0

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 okThanx
Lady_K0 -
so, do you think i should get some 22% then?0
-
I dont know but my dentist said to my daughter dont go over 16%. If I was you I would write to dentist.net and give them the details about yourself and what youve been using and ask thier recommendation. From what I see they don't sell the one you have been using on the site so it may be just a different one you could try at 16%
I always thought that your teeth will only whiten to what they genetically are meant to be you may have reached the whitest your going to get but I'd write and ask them if I were youThanx
