  Take the syringe and put a small amount of the whitening gel across the front six to eight teeth on the upper and lower front of the teeth trays. Do not use more than one-third of the syringe.

• 3

  Brush your teeth, then put the trays in the upper and lower mouth. Be sure they are secure to the front teeth. Wipe off any excess gel as you do not want to irritate your gums.
