I’m a teeth grinder and routinely wear a night guard. So I can’t use the tray-based teeth whitening. Crest strips also fall off. Am I stuck and have to go to the dentist for laser whitening?
Answer: Daily tray use If you use trays during the day and not at night, you should be able to get the result you are looking for without sacrificing night guard wear. It may be for shorter times, so it may take longer than the normal 2 weeks to get them as white as they will get.

Answer: Wear a night guard to prevent discoloration from teeth grinding Do not stop wearing your night guard. Many patients who severely grind wear off the top of the enamel of their teeth causing them to darken and become sensitive.

Answer: Whitening trays do not interfere with grinding You have better to wear your trays at the day, not at sleep. By clenching the enamel layer of your teeth gets thinner and you are at risk of sensitivity. So contact your dentist if you have any pain or sensitivity to cold.

Answer: At home tray whitening is still an option Whitening trays can and should be worn during the day. It is difficult to monitor tooth sensitivity while sleeping and as such whitening trays should be worn during the day to prevent over use and sensitivity. In your particular case this should not interfere with your night guard use.
