can i safely put tooth whitening gel in my plastic retainer ?

i got a tooth whitening kit online http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Professional-Whitening-Optimized-Formula/dp/B000O3SHF8 ....it came with moldable trays that i dip into boiling water and then mold to my teeth....instead of using these trays can i use my plastic retainer to put the gel in?

If the retainer covers the front of your teeth, like Invisalign, then it would work.

Best Method Of Teeth Whitening?

I just got home from travelling the world and have noticed that my teeth aren't looking the best. Brushing was the least of my priority. I dont mind spending a bit on it but I want to make sure I'm not going to buy into a false product. Im looking for a product that is long lusting and gives the whitest look. thank you for reading and a hopefull answers
--------------------
The best method is laser whitening! It's the fastest, the most gentle, and the one that gives you the least teeth and gum sensitivity.

How to whiten teeth in a short period of time?

I have 1 week to atleast whiten my teeth a little bit.
--------------------
the cheapest way is to dip your toothbrush in hydrogen peroxide, sprinkle baking soda on top and brush away- gently at least 2x a day. Otherwise Crest White Strips or similar can do it in a week. Just read the package. Your dentist can also do it in his/her office in an hour using a gel and special light for about two hundred bucks- depending on where you live.

teeth whitening, how is it? how much does it usually cost? im in GA btw...?

how much does it cost? is it safe? how long does it last? side-effects? recommendations?
--------------------
when i had teeth whitening from my dentist it was like $200ish or so which included the plastic mold for your teeth and 2 boxes of the whitening gel which is much more potent than the gel used in the crest etc white strips and other commercial products. the 2 boxes is usually enough to whiten your teeth alot but the dentist still sells the individual tubes of the gel (4 tubes per box) for $10 each after that. what people normally do is just buy a couple tubes per year to keep their teeth white after the initial whitening treatment from the 8 tubes of gel before. as for safe. why would they offer it if it wasnt safe? the only side affect is if you put too much gel it will be in more contact with your gums and it can make your gums sore. in that case the dentist said just to use it every other day or every 2 days so that your gums dont become sore.

Whitening Teeth?

I always brush my teeth and just got back into the habit of flossing them. Well, I was considering trying Trident gum the one that whitens your teeth? Has anybody tried this gum before?Did your teeth get whiter? Does it remove plaque and coffee stains from your teeth? I have an orthodontist appointment and the doctor told me to be sure to brush my teeth and to floss them before I meet with him? I was just wondering if the gum will help as well as brushing and flossing my teeth? I really want to take care of my teeth.
--------------------
Most whitening gums don't actually whiten your teeth very much. Maybe a little. But, unlike other gums, they won't damage your teeth with sugar. And they won't discolor them with dye. Usually "Whitening Gums" just clean the teeth up a bit and freshen your breath.
