Yes and No, it all depends on what whitening product you are using and how your teeth respond to the whitening gel.

Some teeth whitening products are made with the intent that you sleep with your trays on and wake up with a whiter smile.  Plus, your sleeping anyways so why not use that time to whiten your teeth right?

Well it all sounds good, and is good for some people, but be careful with this method of whitening.  Reason being, you could wake up to some very sore and sensitive teeth the next morning if you’re not
careful.  Even if you are using a tooth whitening product made for overnight whitening, you can still get tooth sensitivity from it.

So if you are high prone to tooth sensitivity then I highly recommend NOT whitening your teeth overnight.  There are other whitening kits on the market that only take an hour or less that will work a lot better for you.

If you have no problems with sensitivity and your dentist gives you the okay, then there you go, whiten while you sleep!  Just make sure you use a tooth whitening product that is recommended for overnight whitening. The last thing you want to do is use a product that is meant for 1 hour and you wake up wishing you married an anesthesiologist.
