    just leave them in for 1 hour. Don't wear them over night, your teeth will be extremely sensitive! It would be the best to wear them before you go to bed. Don't drink and eat afterwards. Especially don't eat or drink very colourful things like tomatosoup, currysauce or orange juice until 24 hours after the last time you wear the tray, it could recolour your teeth again.
    good luck!

    Not correct, do as your dentist tells you. I always get patient to wear them overnight. It depends on what kind of bleach the dentist is doing. Ask the dentist who prescribed it. Sensitivity varies between people and is more common with cheap unbuffered bleaches. 16% carbamide is pretty weak and need to be held against the teeth for extended periods to be effective.
