I got my braces off, had a cleaning and started the home teeth bleaching kit. I used the Venus 35 (3 tubes) and Opalescence 35 (4 tubes) over a 14 day period, wearing the trays for 30 minutes per day. I noticed my teeth did get somewhat whiter but the top of my bottom teeth are really translucent/transparent! And the bottom of my top teeth too. Did I over bleach? Will this cause my teeth to decay and fall out due to enamel loss? What can I do to make it less transparent?
