My mother in law works at a dentistry and suggested I use Zoom whitening kits at home. I have Invisalign retainers and she said I could use them. I must have used a little too much, despite being careful, because the pain and damage my gums now have is almost unbearable. What should I do now?
Answer: Gum damage due to zoom Hi:Sorry to hear about the gum damage. It's best to use liquid vitamin E and it should heal with in a few days.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Answer: Gums Severely Damaged after Zoom!® Tooth Whitening Although your Invisalign® retainers may have seemed like a good idea at the time, they are not appropriate for tooth whitening gel as the custom-made Invisalign® clear aligners are made to fit snugly causing the gel to ooze into your gums. Even if you only used a small amount of whitening gel, it will still leak out of the retainers. This is why you are experiencing pain, redness, and discomfort. Thankfully, the sensitivity will go away. Try putting some Vitamin E on your gums, which may help ease some of the discomfort.

Answer: Zoom burn It does appear you over applied the whitening gel. i suggest putting some vitamin E oil on it. Will be soothing and will make it heal faster. Invisalign retainers are not the best option to use as whitening trays. They fit too closely to the teeth and so all of the gel oozes out. You need a more flexible tray to be more ideal for whitening.
