Teeth whitening gels require a tray to place the gels. Disposable/generic trays are made with generic molds for regular mouth. Since they are not specific mold most of disposable create some discomfort and trays easily leak as well, allow the hydrogen peroxide solutions run through cause tooth and gum irritation. If you plan to whiten your teeth using gel, it is recommended to make custom trays that perfectly fit to your teeth.

This is something I've actually done although through the dentist. I now have my CUSTOM tray which cost a fortune, but I didn't know that I could get the whitening gel somewhere other than the dentist! Thanks for this! Kaie

Thanks for the teeth whitening ideas. They'll work to get rid of staining for sure. To get super white teeth, you'll need a home whitening kit that uses carbamide peroxide.
