INTRODUCTION:
Whitening your teeth is one of the easiest and most cost effective
procedures you can do to improve your appearance. Many of us spend hours
in the gym, agonize over diets, pay countless visits to the tanning and
hair salons, change our wardrobes, and yet never give a second thought
to the colour of our teeth. And if we do think about, the cost is
phenomenal. Why not save time while relaxing in a tanning booth by
whitening your teeth comfortably for a minimal cost?
The simple fact that there is now a procedure that enables almost all
people to have whiter and brighter teeth is so overwhelming not all of
the general public believes it. This is how human nature works;
accepting something new is sometimes difficult. The introduction of
teeth whitening products has given way to a lot of hype in advertising,
false claims, inferior quality product, which sets the stage for
consumer scepticism, and complaints on the procedure and associated
products in general.
How long is the process?
The whitening process can be achieved through regular tanning sessions,
and most people begin to see results within a few sessions. Continue the
process until you achieve the desired level of whitening. After initial
treatment, most people do touch ups once a month.
Will Tooth Bleaching or Twilight Teeth hurt the teeth?
No. Research continues with regard to the Tooth bleaching procedure.
However, research data to date shows that there is no apparent risk to
the teeth.
Does the process work on dental restoration?
The Twilight Teeth Platinum was developed specifically to whiten natural
tooth enamel. Therefore, this system will not whiten or alter any dental
restoration such as fillings, crowns, veneers, bonding, or bridgework.
How does
Twilight Teeth Platinum teeth whitening work?
The surface of your teeth contains millions of microscopic pores. Over
time, organic compounds from food, beverages, and tobacco settle into
these pores and cause discoloration of the tooth enamel. Twilight Teeth
removes these stains with a powerful teeth-whitening process. The active
ingredient in the system is Carbamide Peroxide, the same active
ingredient used in professional dental offices nationwide. The whitening
gel penetrates the pores in the surface of the teeth and removes stains
by the process of oxidation. Because Carbamide Peroxide is known to be
activated by low amounts of heat, The Twilight Teeth mouthpiece works to
allow the UV light which already bleaches the teeth to heat and activate
the whitening gel creating an easier, faster process for whitening
teeth.
Does
Tooth Bleaching really work?
Yes. Almost all “Natural” teeth respond to the process. However, there
are some individual’s teeth that just do not respond to any bleaching
product. Research has not figured out exactly why, but there appears to
be about a 2 to 3 percent non-success rate. This is thought to be due to
a chemical/mineral structural difference in their teeth.
How long will the results last?
Teeth whitened with Twilight Teeth Platinum will stay noticeably whiter
for up to a year, however, periodic "touch ups" should be performed to
keep your smile its brightest. Your unique combination of age, foods,
beverages, and tooth structure will influence the long-term results.
Why is there such a big difference in
price between some over-the-counter products at the store, Twilight
Teeth and the cost to have the dentist perform the procedure?
In simple terms, “You Get What You Pay For”. In more detail terms, the
facts are as follows:
1. Most bleaching products sold in stores uses Hydrogen Peroxide as the
bleaching agent which is a lot less cost and easier to produce, but
understandably less effective in actual bleaching teeth. These products
also come in a wide mouth jar which is susceptible to moisture.
2. The dentist uses high quality bleaching product (SAME AS Twilight
Teeth) specially produced for its bleaching characteristic and safety.
The dentist will also provide supervision and help to monitor your
bleaching progress. |
