can i use my retainers as trays for teeth whitening?

My dentist does offer teeth whitening, but it costs $200 for the mouth trays and some bleach gel. I already have retainers that look a lot like the mouth trays, and i'm wondering if i can use these retainers instead of having to pay so much for the trays, and then just buy the bleaching gel. I have the clear plastic kind of retainer that's molded to my teeth, -- it looks like Invisalign. the retainers are pretty tight fitting though, so i don't know if there's any room for the gel in there, or if it would just get squished up into my gums. When you go to the dentist to get those fitted mouth trays made for bleaching, how tightly do they hug your teeth?

Regardless of the other answers, I use my retainer for teeth whitening, as recommend from my dentist. Ask him, and he'll give you the best answer. Good luck! xx =)
