Best Teeth Whitening System
At-home system requires you to buy over-the-counter products and use them at home yourself. The at-home kits generally consist of whitening toothpastes, whitening gels with mouth trays and whitening strips. Barring whitening toothpastes, the main component in all these products is either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. Since the customer himself without any supervision usually applies these gels and strips, they use low strength hydrogen peroxide (5%-10%).
Usually at-home whitening system gives results after few weeks. Typically, regular application for 14-15 days and sometimes even a month gives results. Also, many people find trays and strips too messy and uncomfortable to use. The trays can be very ill fitting as they are not custom made. Whitening toothpastes are not very successful, as they do not contain any bleaching agent. They remove surface stains by some abrasive action. These toothpastes are not effective in removing intrinsic stains.
The other option available with the customer is the in-office system, which means that a certified doctor performs whitening treatment. There are certified whitening centers also. Dentists too use peroxide gels to whiten the teeth but they use a stronger concentrate of hydrogen peroxide normally above 15%.
Also called professional tooth whitening, the in-office systems give results immediately. These days' new procedures like BriteSmile and Zoom! Chairside whitening systems are gaining popularity. These are almost like regular whitening procedures involving application of paint-on peroxide gels but then using light or laser, the bleaching agents present in gel is activated. This quickens the treatment even further reducing the time to half an hour.
Though they are more expensive, the in-office systems are the best teeth whitening system available to consumers today. Since they are conducted under the supervision of a dentist, they are very safe. As compared to whitening toothpastes, whitening gels, peroxide strips; professional tooth whitening especially laser aided whitening gives the most astounding results. The results are also immediate. In just an hours time the treatment can lighten the teeth by 8-10 shades. Moreover, the results are long lasting and dentists too prefer it.
