Brite Smile versus bleaching trays?
Brite Smile is a fast and effective way to whiten your teeth. It is a combination of highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide gel applied to your teeth and a high-powered light system that is used to activate the bleaching process. It takes about 2 hours for the entire appointment. Some patients experience some sensitivity a few hours after the bleaching, which can be easily reduced with ibuprofen, and is usually gone the next day. Teeth whitening trays are a take home method of whitening. The trays are custom made to fit your teeth. You disperse a small amount of the bleach provided by our office into the trays and wear them for approximately one hour per day. Depending on each patient’s needs, there are different instructions as to how long you leave the solution in and how often you use the trays. You may choose to have custom bleach trays made after your Brite Smile to “touch up” and maintain the brightness of your teeth.
