Side Effects and Directions
Keep in mind the teeth whitening considerations before use.
Do not consume any foods or beverages while wearing the tray, because you may accidentally ingest some of the serum. Do not smoke while your tray is in, since the smoke may interfere with or corrupt the whitening process. Keep the syringes away from heat and direct sunlight, as the serum can be rendered impotent if heated up. For best result, keep the syringes in a refrigerated space; however, do not freeze the serum. The freezing process can damage the ingredients in the serum, which will result in either an impotent product or unpredictable side effects.
Be sure to brush and floss your teeth thoroughly prior to use. To start, place the recommended amount of gel in the trays provided. Use a paper towel or gauze pad to pat your teeth dry, and then place the trays in your mouth. Be sure to wipe any excess gel off of your gums, then go to sleep. When you wake up in the morning, take the trays out of your mouth and rinse them clean with cold, running water. Brush your teeth normally, but be sure to only rinse your mouth with warm water.
