I recently did the dentist whitening with uv light and got custom trays made for the phillips zoom daytime.

All together including cleaning cost me 455.

I purchased the zoom daytime peroxide from amazon for 25 bucks which is enough to last me 2 months at about 4 times a week.

The results have been fantastic.

I like the price of the follow up treatments, however I would like to avoid the whole custom mouth piece. I wonder if I could have good results with a make at home custom mouth piece.

I imagine the only difference is that the custom trays are molded close to your teeth which would require less peroxide gel. The home trays may have looser tolerance, even a mm or two might require twice as much gel to get contact to your teeth.

Eventually, you'll spend more money due to using more of the gel, but the initial cost will be a lot less with the home kit trays.

Wife gave both my daughter and I a kit last Christmas, peroxide based. Made my teeth a little sensitive, but I got chemical burns on my gums along the gum line towards the end of the 1 week of use.

Didn't make much difference in my teeth, either.
