FAQ’S

What is the teeth whitening process? – Teeth Whitening is actually a bleaching process that
lightens discolorations of tooth enamel. Our system uses an effective whitening solution retained
in 2 thermoforming trays (1 upper arch, 1 lower arch) that are worn over your teeth for only 15
to 20 minutes per day until you have reached your desired level of whitening. Our product is a
22%&35% carbamide peroxide solution which allows the shorter period of time for results. In
comparison, a 16% solution needs to be in your mouth 45 minutes to an hour for the SAME
RESULTS. Now you can get professional quality dental whitening treatment without an expensive
trip to the dentist!
How it removes stains – Our system will remove most stains with a gentle action that whitens
your teeth. As the active ingredient in the gel (carbamide peroxide 22%), is broken down,
oxygen acts upon the stained organic deposits, which oxidizes them into a white color. This
process makes the overall tooth color closer to its natural unstained color. Your tooth structure
remains unchanged. Years of clinical tests have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of this
system. Over 95% of people treated achieve some level of tooth whitening. Crowns, bridges,
bondings, and fillings do not lighten.
What is the treatment procedure? – An impression of your teeth will be made by you at
home with our easy-to-use instant thermoforming moldable mouth trays. You will then apply our
whitening gel inside the thermoforming trays and place the tray over your teeth. Again, since our
system is 22%&35%, you can treat your teeth only 15-20 minutes per day. In most cases, you
will see results within only one week.
Is the whitening process permanent? – For most people, the treatment will last for many
years. Your teeth have become stained in the first place from consuming the foods and
beverages. Upon the completion of your initial bleaching process, your teeth are restored close to
their natural white color. Exposure to foods, drinks (especially coffee, colas and red wines),
smoking and other consumables will gradually darken teeth again over time. You may want to
periodically bleach your teeth. After an initial treatment, most people do touchups about once
every 6-12 months.
How Important are Thermoforming trays? – Very Important! Having thermoforming trays is
essential to assure proper bleaching results. Non-moldable mouthpieces may cause inconsistent
bleaching or spotting on the teeth and they are uncomfortable to wear. This is also true with
whitening strips on the market today.
What is the difference between the thermoforming trays and the professional labcreated
mouthpieces? – Although both mouthpieces are effective and safe, the professional
lab-created mouthpieces are more precise and more comfortable to wear. Since they are trimmed
at the gingival line, they help you save bleaching gel and are better for people who may have
sensitivities to bleaching gels on their gums. The downside of these professional mouthpieces is
that they cost more since there are more materials needed to create them and professional
laboratories are utilized to create the mouthpiece for you. The thermoforming trays do a great
job with dental bleaching, especially if you have small scissors which you can trim the trays to
the gum line which eliminates gum sensitivity. The upside of the thermoforming trays is that they
are less expensive than the lab-created mouthpieces. Both mouthpieces are effective and you
can decide which type is best for you.
I already have a set of moldable mouthpieces. Can I buy just the whitening just the
gel ? – Yes, we sell 22%&35% Carbamide Peroxide whitening gel separately. It can be used
with any dental tray in the same way as your previous whitening gel.
Why is your product better than other whiteners? – Simply put, other products do not
work as effectively. Some over-the-counter trays are not moldable to your teeth and do not hold
the gel in the proper position. Many OTC whitening gels are not thick enough to stay in place and
will leak out of the tray. Many OTC gels typically have less effective active ingredients or a lower
concentration of active ingredients. Many professional dental whitening systems provide a less
percentage of carbamide peroxide. We should note that you can whiten your teeth with a lower
percentage, but it takes a much longer treatment time in your mouth. Our 22%&35% gel is
HIGHLY effective. In short, we offer more effective whitening power for your money than any
other system.
Is this product the same thing dentists sell me for $500 or more? – Yes, Our system uses
the same active ingredients, percent concentration and methodology as those used in
professional dental offices. We provide you with thermoforming trays and supply you with a high
quality, effective whitening gel exactly like the formula used in dental offices.
What causes tooth discoloration? – There are many causes. The most common include
consumption of foods, coffee, tea, wine, sodas and smoking. In other words, our teeth naturally
get more and more stained as time goes on and we continue to live our lives. NOTE -
Tetracycline discoloration and artificial dental work are usually not greatly responsive to dental
bleaching.
Who may benefit from tooth whitening? – Almost everyone. However, there are some cases
where treatment may not be effective. Tooth lightening is ideal for patients who have healthy,
unrestored teeth and would like a whiter, brighter smile. Tetracycline discolorations and artificial
dental work are usually not greatly responsive to dental bleaching.
Is it safe to bleach my teeth at home? – Yes, our at-home bleaching system is specially
designed to be an easy-to-use system with detailed usage instructions. Over a decade of
research indicates that whitening teeth with carbamide peroxide is safe and effective. All of our
products comply with FDA regulations.
How long does the bleaching process take? – Results are dependent upon each individual
characteristics of each person and the daily wear-time of the thermoforming trays, but most
people usually see results within the first week. Maximum results occur over the next 14-21 days.
Are there any side effects? – Some people experience temporary tooth sensitivity during
treatment. Others have reported discomfort in the gums or in loose fillings. Gum irritation usually
disappears within 1-3 days after beginning the procedure and always upon the discontinuation or
completion of treatment. There are no other significant side effects. YOU SHOULD NOT USE THIS
PRODUCT IF YOU ARE PREGNANT, HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS, PERIODONTAL DISEASE OR
GUMS THAT ARE IN POOR CONDITION, WEAR BRACES, HAD RECENT ORAL SURGERY,
DECAYED TEETH, HAVE ROOTS THAT ARE EXPOSED, HAVE COLITIS, OR HAVE JAW PROBLEMS.
The manufacturer and seller assume no responsibility for any usage of product. You should
consult with a dentist before attempting any at-home treatments and understand that there are
risks involved if not doing so. A small percentage of people may experience Reversible tooth
sensitivity and gum irritation which disappears when use ends, or by decreasing the amount of
time you bleach your teeth each time, or by increasing the amount of time between bleaching
sessions.
How much whitening gel does it take per treatment? – Each individual tray application
(upper or lower arch) will use approximately 1/4 to1/2cc of whitening gel. The lower amount of
1/4 cc per treatment is accomplished by 3 things: experience of using the whitening process,
dabbing just a small amount of gel in the frontal portion of each tooth exposed when smiling only
(no need to whiten unexposed teeth), and most importantly, trimming the thermoforming trays
at the gingival line (tooth/gum line). If you take small scissors and trim the trays on the gingival
line, you do not have a waste factor of gel and do not expose the soft tissue to the process.
