Home and After Care Instructions

KOR Home Whitening Instructions:

General Info: Trays can be worn during the day or night. Pick a time you can set aside 1-3 hours and plan to bleach then. The bleach is time released and is active for 3 hours.

Do not eat or drink while trays are in your mouth.

The bleach does not work on crowns or composite restorations. Therefore, placing bleach in these areas is wasting the bleach.

Always store bleach in refrigerator.

Whitening Process:

1. Thoroughly brush and floss your teeth.

5. Place trays in the mouth covering the teeth.
6. Remove and excess gel from the gum tissue with a Q-tip, making sure to go along the edges of the tray.
