Teeth Whitening System
If you are like most
adults, you have a tremendous problem going to the dentist. But unless
you go for your regular quarterly or half-yearly sessions, you are
unlikely to have the idea oral hygiene program you need. Also, if you
want to keep your pearly whites at their very whitest, you need to make
those visits to the dentist more regular. Or do you?
Ever since Americans discovered that white teeth can enhance t look,
feel and appeal of a person, there has been an explosion of sorts in
the teeth whitening systems industry. From complex solutions only
offered by your dentist in the confines of a dental clinic, teeth
whitening systems have become easy to use solutions that you can
administer to yourself in the privacy and convenience of your home.
There are several teeth whitening systems available in the market
today. And here, we’ll try and introduce you to the most
popular and convenient ones.
The most popular teeth whitening systems available today are the
moldable tray teeth whitening systems. Simply put, these are moldable
bleaching trays that are molded to suit the contours of your teeth.
These trays are then filled with special bleaching solutions and placed
on your teeth for periods ranging from a few minutes to as much as a
couple of hours. These teeth whitening systems come with individual
bleaching trays (which you need to mold to suit your teeth). Syringes
with the bleaching solution and often, a money-back guarantee. A lot
depends on the strength of the bleaching solution, but this kind of
teeth whitening system works purely because it is a customized
solutions, made to cater to your individual needs.
Other teeth whitening systems include powder based ones, specialized
tooth pastes, home buffing kits, rotary cleaning and sparkling kits and
even polishes which can all hide the stains and general discoloration
of teeth to make them clean and sparkling. But none of these teeth
whitening systems have enjoyed the popularity of the moldable tray
teeth whitening systems. In addition to seeming like quick-fix methods,
they also have the disadvantage that they are not customized solutions,
and are manufactured to cater to widest possible audience base. As a
result, they may not always be able to provide you with the right teeth
whitening system for your specific needs.
On of the most important ingredients that any effective teeth whitening
system must have is Carbamide Peroxide. This is the secret chemical
that whitens teeth and removes even the most stubborn of stains. Most
teeth whitening systems contain carbamide peroxide in varying
percentages, although 16% is the most widely used formula. However, it
would not be a good idea to use a teeth whitening system that contains
more than 22% of carbamide peroxide as this can result in irritation of
the gums and mouth lining. Remember that trying to concoct your own
teeth whitening system, even if you have access o chemicals like
carbamide peroxide, might not be a good idea. When we mentioned home
teeth whitening systems, we meant systems that you can use in the
convenience of your home. Not systems you can manufacture at home!
