Troubleshooting Tips

• Clumping Gel: If the gel clumps on the brush, ensure your teeth are completely dry before application and that you are not over-saturating the brush.
• Uneven Whitening: To achieve even whitening, apply a consistent amount of gel to each tooth and avoid touching your teeth with your lips or tongue while the gel dries.
• Sensitivity: If you experience sensitivity, consider reducing the frequency of use and ensure that you are not applying the gel to your gums.
• Brush Hardening: Clean the brush after each use by wiping it with a dry tissue and replace the cap immediately to prevent the brush from hardening.
