Teeth
whitening (also referred to as "teeth
bleaching") utilizing at-home
tray-based teeth whitening products has become the most
popular way for dentists to help their patients obtain whiter
smiles. These teeth
bleaching systems utilize a clear plastic tray that
is filled with whitening gel and then placed on and slipped
over the patient's teeth. The bleaching tray is then worn
for multiple hours per day (or else overnight), for some
weeks, while the effects of the teeth whitening process
take place.

What
are at-home tray-based teeth whitening systems?
While
several systems for teeth whitening (teeth
bleaching) exist, in the last decade tray-based whitening
has become the most widely utilized type of at-home bleaching
product. This technique utilizes a plastic tray that has
been fabricated so to fit comfortably over a person's teeth.
The person places bleaching gel (carbamide peroxide) into
the tray and the tray is then worn for multiple hours a
day (or else overnight), for some weeks, as the effects
of the whitening process take place.
At
home tray teeth whitening is a safe and effective way for
a person to bleach their teeth but anyone utilizing this
type of system needs to realize that the majority of their
whitening activities will not be directly supervised by
a dental professional. Because of this, anyone bleaching
their teeth must be certain that the specific whitener they
are using is safe, and that they know how to use this product
in an appropriate manner. Failure to meet either one of
these conditions could result in damage or harm.
