You Can Create Your Own Custom Tooth Whitening Tray
You see it nightly on television and whenever you go to a movie. The camera zooms in on the face of the news anchor or the television star flashes a huge white smile. That’s when you become increasingly self-conscious of your own smile and start to think about how it would feel if you, too, could have a smile like a star. Those in the media have probably had their teeth treated professionally, however, it is quite possible for you to achieve a similar tooth whitening result within the comfort of your home.

What is Tooth Whitening?

Tooth whitening at home is a 10 to 14 day process that involves the use of a whitening gel and a tooth whitening tray that is molded to fit over the individual’s upper and lower teeth. This dental treatment has been shown to be effective in removing stains caused by

smoking
coffee
tea
soda
aging

Occasionally teeth can become sensitive to hot and cold as a result of at home tooth whitening but it is generally considered a generally safe procedure that does not adversely affect the tooth itself. It is highly recommended that prior to conducting tooth whitening at home you visit your dentist. This will ensure that you have no gum disease or tooth decay.

Tooth Whitening Process

Tooth whitening at home is a straightforward process that can be accomplished by purchasing a tooth whitening kit. Following the directions on the kit you place the bleaching gel in the tooth whitening tray and place the whitening tray onto your teeth. If you choose a product like Pro-White teeth whitening system you would leave your tooth whitening tray in place for 20 minutes to one hour.

When purchasing an at-home tooth whitening system always check to see how long you have to leave the trays in the mouth. Twenty minutes to one hour a day is manageable, however, some kits require you to leave the whitening trays in your mouth for three hours and that can seriously interfere with your daily routine!

Custom Fit Tooth Whitening Trays

Many home whitening kits include generic whitening trays that you mold yourself in hot water. The advantage of the Pro-White tooth whitening trays is that you take an impression of your teeth with the dental quality putty they provide in their kit and send it to the Pro White Laboratory where there technicians make a custom fit tooth whitening tray for you.

Another advantage with the Pro-White system is that their gel uses a prescription strength bleaching formula of 22% carbamide peroxide and this is the type of bleaching you can usually only expect in a dentist’s office.

Tooth Whitening System - what to look for in a home tooth whitening system

July 16th, 2007 Subscribe To Our Feed

There are many different tooth whitening systems available for home use. What features should you look for in a home tooth whitening system.

Everyone wants a beautiful smile and one of the easist ways to achieve a dazzling white smile is to improve the look of your teeth with a tooth whitening system. There are many tooth whitening systems available. How do you decide which ones are the best? Many people think that a tooth whitening system comparison would be extremely helpful and we plan on producing one in the coming months. However, there are many factors to consider before establishing a tooth whitening system comparison … and the first thing is to define what “best” is.

The Good, Better, Best of Tooth Whitening Systems

When it comes to tooth whitening systems, you’ll first need to establish what type of teeth you have and what type of home whitening system would best benefit your teeth – only then you can do a proper tooth whitening product comparison. The definition of best here is not the best in the market in terms of ingredients, or cost, or availability – it is the best that suits YOU.

Then, coming back to our search – is it feasible to use a tooth whitening system comparison to solve this puzzle? Maybe, but I rather doubt. Rather, you should seek out a perfect match between what you need for the whitening of your teeth and what is available in the market. When you make this decision you should take into consideration the type and concentration of bleaching agent, the amount of fluoride required to counteract the sensitivity of teeth post-treatment, what type of stains it removes, how many days or weeks you’ll need to apply the treatment, and how long the results can be expected to last.

Once you determine these details you will be able to conduct a home tooth whitening system comparison of your own. Remember that the best of the best will not be suitable for everybody. What then is the use of identifying the best? In this context, the best recourse is to search for the product that suits you best.

The best tooth whitening product for you may not be the most popular brand on the market; it does not matter. What matters is that you achieve the results that you want and expect at a price you can afford. Only then you can say that the product is the BEST.
