I have this crest nightime whitener stuff for your teeth. What you do is take the paintbrush looking applicator and wipe the whitener on your teeth at night and in the morning brush it out.
I have yellow teeth that I want to whiten, but I have a retainer that I wear day and night. I've had this retainer for a year, and thats as long as my dentist said to keep it in.
Do you think it would mess up the whitening if I put my retainer back in ten mins after I applied the whitening gel. Or should I leave my retainer out over night? Its only for 14 days.
Just a suggestion, I have done the crest whitestrips, which you do just twice a day for a half an hour each, or double them up and do it for an hour. The results are amazing. I saw results after 3 days. I did the regular first, which is 14 days, Then a few months later I did the premium, 7 days. I know for sure the results are dramatic and they really work. Just thought I'd let you know, since I know they really work. Good luck, hope everything works for you! [ Shortcake22's advice column | Ask Shortcake22 A Question ]

Tomorrow, call your dentists office and ask what they suggest. They really don't mind you calling.
I don't know what retainers are made of, but you really don't want to wear them at the same time until you check. It may leave your teethe discolored or something...which would defeat the purpose. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
