40% Carbamide Peroxide and 10% Hydrogen Peroxide are the two main active ingredients in the teeth whitening gel. The LED light technology used is both red and blue lights. The gel absorbs the blue LED light which activates the peroxide molecules into breaking down faster, lifting the existing stains off the teeth. The process only penetrates the tooth enamel and does not cause damage to it. Meanwhile, the red LED light emits a wavelength that stimulates cellular energy that can help heal small cuts or abrasions in the mouth. Together, the two lights and the peroxide gel create a system that both whitens and heals. The light is designed to operate at room temperature, providing a narrower band of light opposed to the lights used to whiten at a dentist’s office. To limit sensitivity, we do not use bleach or harsh lighting to bring the teeth past their original whiteness. Our teeth whitening system is pH neutral, silica, gluten and lactose-free, making it available to anyone who has teeth or digestive sensitivities.
Best results are achieved within 30 days of a dental cleaning. If you have not recently had a cleaning, you may still do a teeth whitening session. Please be aware the product will have to work to break down plaque prior to working on surface stains and results may not be as dramatic.
Your genetics and oral hygiene habits will greatly affect your results.
