(Teeth Whitening Devices)
To achieve white teeth and a radiant smile, use modern teeth whitening kits such as connected LED trays or LED lamps. Also, feel free to use disposable devices for long-lasting teeth whitening. Here are some teeth whitening products reserved for professionals but usable at home.
The Connected LED Tray
The connected LED tray, partly made of silicone, features an ergonomic U-shaped design similar to some models of U-shaped electric toothbrush. It includes LED strips that push the active ingredients of the gel to whiten your teeth without damaging your gums. You can connect it to your smartphone or USB key via a cable. Some models can operate up to 10,000 hours.
For healthy, fully white teeth, perform a proper treatment with this device after brushing. First, spread 1 ml of whitening gel inside the tray. Then connect the device and insert it into your mouth. Next, carry out the whitening for 20 minutes (once a day), ensuring the tray fits snugly against your teeth. You can apply slight pressure if needed. It is advised not to smoke or drink during the 15 minutes following the treatment. You will achieve the desired shade within 14 days (maximum) of application.
Teeth Whitening Pen
Reserved for home use for quick results, this pen-shaped device removes stains left on your enamel by tea, coffee, and tobacco. Often supplied with a shade guide, it conveniently cleans canines, premolars, and incisors. To do this, the pen spreads whitening gel (containing peroxide, sodium, glycerin, etc.) on your enamel to provide a dual action.
This home teeth whitening tool can restore the whiteness of your teeth, and thus your smile, within 3 days with 15 minutes of use per day. In short, this type of teeth whitening kit, different from a brush, is ideally recommended for sensitive teeth.
Whitening Teeth with an LED Lamp
This is an electronic device featuring LED technology that activates the ions contained in the whitening gel. Intended only for professionals, the LED lamp effectively accelerates the teeth whitening process. Generally, it allows you to get whiter and brighter teeth in just 20 minutes. Its use must be accompanied by a whitening gel and a clip-on tray.
Before treatment, it is highly recommended to apply a cleaning spray to prepare the dental enamel. The Whitecare whitening lamp, equipped with 5 Leds booster technology, is among the most used kits by dentists and can quickly restore your star smile.
Ready-to-Use Teeth Whitening Kits
To complement the exclusive use of professional teeth whitening kits by dentists, oral hygiene brands have developed ready-to-use devices that anyone can use at home. Besides being affordable, these teeth whitening kits are easily accessible at pharmacies and drugstores. And of course, they contain a specific product: whitening gel based on hydrogen peroxide. However, ready-to-use teeth whitening devices remain ineffective against stains caused by dietary habits or age-related factors.
Teeth Whitening Strips
These are transparent adhesive strips designed to perfectly fit the shape of the teeth. Whitening strips for all ages are uniformly coated with gel at about 6%. To benefit from their effects, simply apply a strip to your teeth and leave it on for 30 minutes or more. According to customer reviews, Ray Of Smile whitening strips have already proven their reliability. The same goes for Teeth Whitening products.
Gel with Brush
This teeth whitening kit proves effective for targeted treatment of a specific tooth. It allows precise removal of discoloration on certain enamel areas. This type of kit similarly acts like a toothbrush soaked with whitening toothpaste. Among oral hygiene brands, Very Good Smile produces the most practical gel with brush.
Disposable Trays
This single-use, easily portable device is used without prior adjustment and without risk of damaging the pulp or gums. More hygienic and practical, it comes with an individual dose of whitening gel for immediate application. Its use can extend up to 14 days for a lasting effect (1 year).
Whitening Powders and Whitening Toothpastes:
Although less powerful than peroxide-based gels, these products can help remove surface stains and make teeth slightly whiter with regular use.
Laser Whitening:
This method, generally performed in dental offices, uses laser heat to activate and accelerate the whitening gel applied to the teeth.
Tray Whitening Systems:
These kits include plastic trays (often moldable to your dentition) that you fill with whitening gel and wear for a specified period.
Laser Whitening:
This method, generally performed in dental offices, uses laser heat to activate and accelerate the whitening gel applied to the teeth.
Good Oral Hygiene Before Whitening...
Before whitening, it is important to adopt good oral hygiene. Simply brushing your teeth properly is enough. If you do not do it sufficiently, teeth whitening will not be effective. There is only one solution for you: the Y-Brush toothbrush. It will make brushing your teeth easier. Brushing your teeth will become child's play.
