crest nighttime white...stuff


Question Posted Wednesday March 22 2006, 8:38 pm

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.

If I were you, I would leave my retainer off at night just for the 14 days, but I would wear it during the day whenever I could such as when I was doing homework, chores, or watching TV for as long as possible. Then, when the 14 days are up, I would immediately start wearing it at night again.

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!

it depends on the kind of retainer.. i used to have a clear one and i thought it was great because i could sleep with the crest night stuff and it wouldnt make my mouth taste all weird but if you have a metal one i wouldnt do it at all because it will leave a weird yellow line. if you must put the night stuff on for only 2 or 3 hours during the day.. you will have about the same effect and you should be alright leaving your retainer out but if you get the strips you can leve your retainer on to problem (i liked the strips wayyy more)

I would leave it off if you plan to use the whitener tonight.

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. :)
