What is the difference between laser whitening and custom mouthpieces?
Laser is done by a dentist who applies a 35% Hydrogen Peroxide solution on your teeth. Once this solution is on, a light is held a couple of inches away from your teeth to speed up the chemical reaction of the Hydrogen Peroxide. The only benefit of doing laser whitening is that your teeth become white instantaneously. This procedure cost $800 plus. The problem with this procedure is that after a year of your normal eating habits (drinking coke, tea, coffee, etc.) your teeth become slightly discolored again and develops a new stain. With the laser whitening, you will have to go and pay $800 plus to repeat the procedure. With the custom mouthpieces, you already have the custom tray that you can wear a year later for a night to take off the new stain at no cost. The custom tray get your teeth whiter and for much less. The process is not as instantaneous as laser surgery, but you will achieve the same or better results after 5 – 10 applications.
