Opalescence PF 16% Regular – Whitening Gel for Use with Trays
Opalescence PF 16% Regular is a gel designed for at-home whitening of natural teeth with the use of properly fitted trays. Its formula contains 16% carbamide peroxide, which supports gradual brightening of the enamel and helps reduce the visibility of surface stains caused by factors such as coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco use.
The 16% concentration offers a balance between milder and stronger Opalescence PF variants. A single application lasts approximately 4–6 hours, making it easier to fit the treatment into a daily routine.
Regular Flavor and Controlled Application
The Regular version has a pleasant regular flavor that provides a fresh sensation while the trays are being worn. Its thick, adhesive consistency makes it easier to place a small amount of gel into the individual sections of the tray and helps keep the product in the intended position.
When the correct amount is used, the consistency also helps limit excessive movement of the gel and reduces the risk of it leaking beyond the edges of the tray.
PF Formula with Additional Ingredients
The gel contains fluoride and potassium nitrate, ingredients commonly used in dental care products intended for use during whitening treatments. The PF formula was developed to combine cosmetic whitening with comfortable application.
The product is intended for adults who want to reduce the appearance of discoloration on natural teeth as part of their at-home smile care routine.
Recommended Application Time
A single application of Opalescence PF 16% Regular should last approximately 4–6 hours. The trays may be worn during the day, in the evening, or overnight, depending on individual preferences and professional recommendations.
Do not exceed the recommended application time or place an excessive amount of gel in the trays.

Information About Results
Whitening results may vary between users. The final outcome depends on factors such as the natural shade of the enamel, the type and intensity of discoloration, the frequency of application, and the individual response of the teeth to whitening.
The gel works only on natural tooth structure. Crowns, veneers, bridges, implants, and dental fillings will not change color during treatment. Before starting the whitening process, it is worth considering that a shade difference may develop between natural teeth and existing dental restorations.
If sensitivity occurs, reduce the application time, take a break, or discontinue use. If discomfort persists, consult a dental professional.
