Oh yeah..they intend to do that. just because you had your braces off doesn’t mean its the cause of making it sensitive. I had my braces off for years now and they also got sensitive with that whitening and I didn’t go through with it. If you want your teeth whiter you will probably be better off having them laser. It takes an hour but they should be at least 4 shades whiter. The only thing is that it is pretty pricey.
Do not use the whitening anymore until your teeth get better. They will stop being sensitive soon.??

Im not sure if it said on the packet but you shouldnt use any sort of teeth whitening with in two weeks of having any sort of dental work.. i know thats what it said on the one i bought..
to be honest. ive tried all of that crap.. but what really works is correctly brushing your teeth twice a day. i ahd braces and it was a yucky yellow afterwards but i half heartedly brushed them. i got my teeth cleaned professionally (got the plaque off it. not the professional whitening type) and got taught how to correctly brush and floss my teeth and i have been doing so ever since then and my teeth are pearly white.
you gotta put in that 5 minutes every morning and every night.. unless you want to pay thousands to have it done professionally.. but personally the 5 minutes morning and night cost you less.. and is better for your teeth and gums.

Hypersensitivity is almost always expected when bleaching teeth. The carbamide peroxide content strips away all stains in the enamel surface so effectively that you see the results right away. The problem arises when these active agents find their way to nerve endings of the dentinal tubules thru tiny fractures, abraded surfaces, fillling materials, and cavities. Some formulations are relatively strong enough to diminish the tooth thickness by few microns, hence the teeth are whiter but hypersensitivity sets in.
In time, the discomfort will subside when the opened entrances get plugged to some degree by free calcium salts that are ever present in the saliva. The patient is also advised to refrain from taking sour (acidic) foods and beverages, also too cold & too hot drinks.
