Looking for teeth whitening trays?

I already have the whitening gel but I am in need of trays and do not want to pay the $300 my dentist is asking for custom trays. Can someone please suggest a tray I can order on line that is comfortable, hits all teeth and holds in place without access saliva build up? Thanks

If you don't want the ones from your dentist, you can buy over the counter trays, or you can buy custom trays mail order. You won't be surprised to hear that the over-the-counter types are the cheapest. Aquafresh makes one, for example, although there are others. They will not fit your teeth as well as one from your dentist, but they are better than nothing. You should be able to find them at Walgreens or other large drug stores. If you click on the link below, you will find a coupon you can print out and take to the store.: http://www.aquafresh.com/Savings.aspx There are also store brands, which may be less expensive, even with the coupon. I don't know how they compare with the name brands, however. The next step up are companies that will sell you the putty-like stuff that is used to make the impression for the trays. You then make your own impression and send it back to them. The company then sends you the actual trays by return mail. Altogether, the impression material plus the trays cost about $70, which is a lot less than the dentist would charge, but it is also more work and a lot of mailing back and forth. Still, if you do things just right, you can end up with custom-fit trays. Here is one example: http://www.amazon.com/Whitening-Bleachin… Personally, I decided that it was worth a one-time expense to pay my dentist to do the trays. Now, I will have the trays for the rest of my life, and if I ever need a "refresh," the gel is pretty reasonably priced, either from him or online. But that's just me, and I can see how other people would rather go a less-expensive route. I hope this was a helpful answer. Good luck.
