DIY AGRESSIVE TEETH WHITENING FAILURE.

[recessed55]

I’m lazy and not doing good formatting

I made my own protocol for DIY whitening, yes it was inspire by pnuemo.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO DO THIS

“Materials

Gingival barrier

Curing light (435–440 nm)

H2O2 44% gel

Mouth openers

Mirror

Micro Brush

Paper Towel



Exposure

First exposure: 15 minutes, 30 minutes. 2 rounds

Stop if: One tooth hurts significantly more than the others

Pain gets worse, not plateauing

Pain intense after removing gel

Heat sensitivity



Mouth prep

Insert mouth opener

Dry mouth using paper towels focusing on gums and teeth



Gingival barrier

Apply to gums, with emphasis on the borders



Curing light

Use for 20 seconds, close to teeth, fanning across each surface



H₂O₂ application

Start a timer

Apply a small amount to each tooth

Place gel in the center of the tooth and spread outward with micro brush after applied to all teeth

Thin layer, fully covering the tooth



Removal

Wait for timer

Blot gel off with a paper towel, starting from the side you originally applied first

If any gel remains, rinse with warm water



Post-care

Brush teeth after 60 minutes”

This was the procedure it is very aggressive, I should have had very clear whitening effects yet it was very subtle at best. The picture without my teeth overlapping at all is the after and was taken a day later. The lighting is very similar in both pictures. I’m considering trying again in 2 weeks with 2 30 minute rounds. The reason I had a fifteen minute one this time was because I was breathing through my mouth and swallowing too much and my throat was burning a lot so I stopped it early.

Now that I’m looking at it even though both pictures used flash the after one was closer so it picked up more of that light.

i don't really know but they seem like a better option

for those results you could have used whitening strips. not that the results are bad, in fact it looks good but its just the roi yk

I know that’s why I think something must have went wrong. I want to try again but am worried about fucking up my teeth.

Holy shit my jaw is so asymmetrical how did I never realize it was that bad

i'd just leave it at this to minimize damage, idk if remineralizing gels are cope or not but you could try that to minimize damage

They can reduce sensitivity and some other stuff but it’ll happen on its own within a week or two anyway so it’s not really worth it unless there’s pain.

Update: I saw other threads and realized I used inauthentic whitening gel. I used the laser glow 44%, it was likely extremely low concentration. I also tried it on a carrot as high peroxide concentrations will begin to foam up, it did not at all. I’ve just ordered 30% h2O2 that will hopefully be legit and will retry as soon as it arrives

I ordered directly from there website and I could tell you it’s definitely not 44% concentration and is much lower. If you ordered it on Amazon you could probably return it.

https://www.net32.com/ec/ibrite-professional-tooth-whitening-geltype-system-1-d-135255 This is the one I ordered it’s arriving today and I’ll likely try the procedure again tonight and confirm it’s legit. The company N32 where I’m buying from and the Ibrite brand both seem very legitimate so I doubt it’s fake. It is only 30% though.
