Hi everyone,
I have a question about whitening teeth. I got my braces off a few months ago and I got a night whitening kit to use. I have been using it every night for a week so far and I haven't seen any changes in the colour of my teeth. I didn't expect to see major changes in just a week, but at least a little progress, but I have not seen any. Is it normal not to see any improvement in the first week? I am hoping if I continue to use it (I know 2 weeks is the basic time frame to see the best results) my teeth will eventually whiten. I am assuming the product is good, considering I paid a lot of money for it directly from my dentist. I have never whitened my teeth before, so I am unsure of the process. Thanks for any insight you can give me.

I use a kit off a website that gives instant results and makes your teeth pretty white within a week or so, or at least lightens them a few shades. I can't say what it is because that's advertizing but it costs me £5 - it seems silly that the official stuff would cost more and work less!
I had Inman Aligners on both my top and bottom teeth.
