there is. didn't think you were looking for that.

zoom is an in office procedure using a whitening gel and a bright light

it's fast and it works

but the problem with it is possibly more sensitivity and possible rebound of color

i use the take home gel myself.

The crest white strips do work pretty well. I'm having my dentist replace a cap in december, so he told me to whiten my teeth. I used the 7-day strips and my teeth were noticeably whiter. Expensive, though.

I thought it was 500 for the take home and 1000 for the 1 hour routine. That's all off the top of my head. The take home was hell, I wonder if the gels these days are easier to use while still trying to sleep.

I bought a mold on amazon

the kind that uses white and blue putty that you have to send to a lab for $75 and it came with like 12 uses of peroxide gel

it fit my teeth perfectly and the whitening worked well

$500 seems pretty crazy for just to get a mold made

$500 isn't just for the mold. I think that was the price, but it was for them to get the mold made, give you the final teeth cover, and 2 kits of the stuff to whiten (syringe / etc). It also covered some check ups to see how the process was going. Been a few years since I did it.

Hmm Mosh, after this thread and the Fleshlight one ( never thought these two would have relevant information... ), are you a Dental Assistant?
