No longer live in Downtown Chicago, but I still use this product suggested by my old dentist there. I had none of the problems others report, but perhaps that's because my dentist said to:

(1) Go easy on the gel. One small dot -- a little dab will do ya -- on each "tooth" impression in your tight-fitting tray. Then when you put the tray into your mouth, gently push on each "tooth" so that the tray/gel sticks to your tooth. Too much means the gel oozes up and hits your gums, which DOES make them white and sore.

(2) Don't leave 'em on too long. I did 30 minutes I think -- watched a TV show -- and could do that maybe twice a day, tho can't remember if I did shorter stints at first to get used to them.

(3) IMPORTANT! After tray/gel come out, immediately brush your teeth with a non-flouride toothpaste (we've got little kids, so that was easy). My dentist says that it "re-mineralizes" the teeth, which might seal them again and/or cut down on the sensitivity. Has to be NON-flouride toothpaste, tho.

(4) Other hints/insights:
+ Store unused/extra syringes in the fridge to make 'em last longer. It should take a while to go thru four of these, and room temps can cut the potency.
+ I worry about safety of whitening, too, tho know that because of concerns about chlorination -- that hydrogen peroxide is MUCH safer than the chlorine that's in all sorts of bleach.

I love this whitener. It's the one my dentist recommended and it works very well. Be warned, you may try a 10 or 15 % because it will make your teeth sensitive to cold or hot things for a few days. You should also be sure you don't have cuts on your gums. Be sure you have no cavities. You dont want any of the gel to hit those nerves. OUCH!!!! If it burns or stings when you put it on and doesnt go away within a few minutes you probably have a cut, burn and you should rinse it off and try again the next day or you should just try a 10% or 15% whitener.

My teeth are hard to whiten. I really like Opalescence because it does a good job in a relatively short time. I was using the 5% before, and for me the 10% is even better because I only need about 2 nights, 3 maximum, for a really good whitening job, then can go months with just a one-night tune-up now and then. So it's lasting me even longer. Good product!

I don't notice a drastic difference personaly, but after a single use, I always get a comment from somebody that my teeth look "so white!". So I guess it works pretty good. ;) I only use one seringe of this stuff every month or so though. I'm sure if it were used more consistently it would produce even better results. If the price were lower I probably would buy a lot more of it and use it more regularly.

My dentist suggested me to try opalescence gels with custom trays which I've worn overnight. I've been using them for 2 weeks and I got great results! I had sensitivity at first two days than its gone. I highly recommend this product if you have custom trays.

This is my first time bleaching--I used 15% trays for about 8 days and noticed great results. Just be sure to avoid Soda or Coffee since that will stain your teeth. I will not lie, if you have very sensitive teeth, this may not be worth it to you since it hurts A LOT. But if you're willing to go through some pain for white teeth, more power to you. Ocassionaly, I felt pain in my nerve as if someone is poking a large needle to my gums. Drinking cold/hot liquids after the sessions was a bit hard since my teeth were quite sensitive. All in all everything was worth it. My teeth have never looked this white. Sometimes you have to pay a price for great results.

I had been using Nupro Gold per my dentist office for about 5 years. I have the custom trays my dentist office created. When I ran out and contacted my dentist, they told me that they switched to Opalescence because they felt it was a better product -- so, I jumped online to find a good price for it (my dentist office was charging like 50 bucks for 4 tubes).

I just used this product last week and its good. When I used Nupro Gold I could tell a difference in the shade of my teeth the very first day. With this product it took about two days. It definitely tastes better than Nupro (not that I eat it but sometimes there may be a little too much in the tray).

It is gentle on my sensitive teeth which is definitely a plus. You cant beat the price on Amazon. All in all, this product gets two thumbs up from me.

Hello, I absoultely love this product. I recently went to Mexico and I was with a friend who is a dentist, we were at a cook out and we were talking and he noticed I had yellow teeth(according to my dad it looks like my teeth are "smokers teeth"). So he told me he was going to whiten my teeth, later he took molds of my teeth and gave me a single 20% gel applicant. He told me to apply to the mold and simply wear it over night. I did so and on the very next day, I saw the difference! My teeth did indeed feel alittle sensitive but nothing to get hung about. So far I've only applied it 5 times and you totally see the difference. I've been reading a few of the reviews about how this gives you intense pain, the solution is simply skip a treatment. One day I woke up with pain on most of the teeth and I called my friend and he said to simply skip that nights treatment, which I did and the next day I had little to no pain. So if your looking for an effective and fast way to whiten your teeth, this is the best solution out there!

First, it didn't work and second the content of the last syringe was almost dry. I have used Opalescence in the past.What BRIGHTERSMILE is selling is totally different with what I got from my dentist in terms of whitening effectiveness. In my opinion it is better to buy from dentist at higher price or a reliable source rather than this company that provides a useless/defected but cheap product.

I got what I wanted, at a great price, in a timely manner. What more could I want?
