I got it done and it HURT LIKE **** about 5 hours after the treatment. It totally did not hurt during the treatment at all, it was actually somewhat relaxing. The pain though afterward was so severe that I really think that it made me crazy - but the next day the pain was gone and I had gleeming white teeth.

I think from now on tho I will do monthly gel plate whitening for maintanance instead of going through that horrible inhuman pain again!

I had it done at 11 am today and now its about 10 pm and feels like someone took a mallet to my teeth. I have stringy shooting pains going all over my teeth. Its so bad I cant even talk. No one wants to talk to me cause all I do is complain. I advocate Zoom! for no one.

I had this done 3 days ago and can tell you had I known what it woukd feel like I would have probably not done it. It was like a long agonizing pain that only let up in between the 15 minute sessions. I can take a lot of pain, but after 3 sessions I said ENOUGH. It did whiten, but here 3 days later my gums are super sensitive and due to having temp caps on the top front (decided to whiten other teeth before getting the new caps) those are extremely sensitive to the cold I need to sooth my gums. Catch 22. And they SHOULD let people know prior to the procedure the things you can't drink or eat for 48 hours. I don't drink coffee/tea or smoke but I could see that being an issue with people who do.

This is not worth the $400 that you pay. I tried it and my teeth did get white, but after a couple of days, you see that you have only lightened a couple of shades, you can buy some gel on ebay and get the same effect. The pain is also not worth it, it was not that bad for me, but I am very tolerant. Do yourself a favor and save some money. Also, my botton teeth didn't lighten that much, even less than the top. DOn't be fooled by the before after shots on their website. Most of the celebrities you see with super white teeth are wearing veneers anyway.

It is Saturday night - and I'm miserable! I had the zoom whitening done this past Wednesday and my teeth are still very sensitive. About 2 minutes into the process, the heat on my upper gums was unbearable. Luckily, I don't have the burned gums that some people have reported - but if the procedure had continued, I feel sure my gums would have caught fire - it felt like I was getting a severe sun burn on my gums! I have had a lot of work done on my teeth in the past and I can honestly say that the root canal I had was a pleasant experience compared to the this...When the light was turned off, the burning/heat sensation stopped - she tried it again for a couple of minutes - same result. I should have researched this first - when I got back to work and complained about the procedure, a lot of my co-workers passed on horror stories they had heard. I wouldn't recommend this procedure to anyone - and the trays are going in the trash. What an expensive mistake - although they knocked off $150.00 without me even asking them to...I just wanted to get out of there before any more damage could be done! Whiter teeth aren't worth it - I'll stick with yellow..

your gums hurt during the treatment? didn't they put the goooey gum protectors to fit over them before they did the zoom?? that sounds way super scary!
