tooth whitening
The most common and effective method to whiten ones teeth involves the use of custom made trays. These thin, clear, flexible and comfortable trays fit over ones teeth like a glove over ones hand. These trays carry a whitening solution similar to hydrogen peroxide that lightens the teeth generally while you sleep. The results do vary from person to person but usually we have good results when used properly. There are no known significant risks with this method although about 10% of users do experience some transient sensitivity to hot and cold during the process. The whitening is a permanent color change but can go "backwards" with the use of coffee, tobacco, wine and other agents that can stain teeth.
By the way you might have heard of certain systems that incorporate the use of a light or laser in the bleaching process however studies show that the light has no effect- the results are from the bleaching solution only.
