Works just fine for whitening trays or to protect teeth from grinding.
The media could not be loaded. These dental trays are inexpensive, and I'm rating them in relation to the cost. Are they as good as the ones I got from the orthodontist or dentist, definitely not. But for the money that these are listed, they are a great value and work just fine for whitening gel applications or to protect from grinding your teeth in your sleep. There were no instructions included in the package (which I'm hoping will change in future shipments). There are instructions in the product listing here on Amazon and they are easy enough. I just set my electric kettle to warm water to 176 degrees Fahrenheit. And then used a glass of that water to soak them for about 10-20 seconds. I put one in my mouth and shaped it around my teeth by biting down and shaping with my fingers around the front. I had to repeat the warming and shaping parts a couple of times to get a good fit. You can also trim off the tab at the end with scissors. The resulting trays are still pretty thick and still rubbery in texture. I can't get them to stay on quite as snugly as an orthodontic retainer tray, but that's OK as their flexibility would make them poor retainers anyway. They stay in place fine enough for their intended use and definitely hold whitening gel closer to the teeth so you don't have to use as much. If you use these for bleaching your teeth: you only need to apply the whitening gel in little dabs to the fronts of the where your front-most visible teeth are. You don't need gel on the biting surfaces or backs of your teeth. It kind of spreads around anyway and won't be noticeable. Whitening gel is not included in this kit and would have to be purchased separately. Read more
