Custom Trays for Teeth Whitening
The process is simple.
The plastic whitening trays will be created using models of your teeth.
To achieve the desired whitening effect, you will need to apply a special whitening gel into each tray and wear them in your mouth for several hours daily. It is common for patients to wear the trays after dinner and before going to bed.
You can typically observe a noticeable alteration in tooth color within a span of four to six weeks.
Can you explain the process of teeth whitening?
There are two main types of whitening products: bleaching agents with peroxide and whitening toothpastes or dentifrices. Most whitening systems in the peroxide-containing bleaching agents category use either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide as the active ingredient.
The concentration of these ingredients determines the effectiveness, efficiency, and safety of the whitening system. Teeth whitening involves a chemical reaction between the bleaching agent and the molecules that cause discoloration. This reaction breaks down and removes stains and discoloration.
