Once I opened the box, it all seemed a lot easier than I had imagined. There was nothing to mix or pour or apply from a tube. The trays are already filled with the correct amount of whitener and individually sealed in sets of two marked “upper” and “lower”.

The tray itself was softer than I had expected. The trick is to find a good time to spend 30-45 minutes with the tray in your mouth. But wearing it was not uncomfortable, as long as you weren’t trying to give someone a detailed explanation of quantum physics. Talking isn’t easy with anything in your mouth so watch TV, play a video game or surf the net while you whiten. The time goes by fairly quickly that way.

The taste was subtly minty, nothing overwhelming or tingly like having toothpaste in your mouth for half an hour.

Results are supposed to be visible in three days. It may be my imagination or wishful thinking but I thought I could see a slight brightening after the first treatment. I hope to see some real improvement by the end of the third treatment.
