The system that White 'n' Bright Teeth use starts with

 you cleaning your teeth, then  applying special teeth

whitening gel to the mouthpiece. This whitening gel

 contains stronger bleaching agent compared to the gel

used in over-the-counter tooth bleaching products,

 which ensures better results. After the whitening gel

has been applied, the consultant uses our patented Cool

Light  system to activate the photo receptors, which

 facilitates better gel penetration through the teeth

 enamel. The teeth whitening procedure usually lasts

 about 20 - 40 minutes (depending of the severity of

staining) and the results can be seen immediately after.

 

How effective is the system used by White 'n'

Bright Teeth?

 

MyWhiteSmile teeth whitening system is very effective,

and produces better and faster results compared to

other teeth whitening methods. Depending on your

teeth shade and condition, MyWhiteSmile System can

whiten teeth up to 10 shades.

 

Before you consider undergoing a teeth whitening

procedure, it is a good idea to learn what causes yellow

teeth in the first place. There are many factors that affect

 the color of your teeth, and we have described the most

 important ones below:

 

Getting Older.

 

Getting older affects your entire body, including your

teeth and their color. As you age your teeth are turning

yellow and this is a perfectly natural process that can be

reversed with White 'n' Bright Teeth.

 

What you eat and drink affects your bright smile.

 

That's right, the food and drinks can greatly influence

the color of your teeth. There are foods and beverages

that make your teeth darker, the worst offenders being

red wine, cigarettes, soda drinks, coffee, chocolate, and

 berries. With a visit from White 'n' Bright Teeth, you

can have your cake and eat it too!!!

 

Accidents.

 

If you bump a tooth, you might damage it, and this can

cause the tooth to get darker.

 

Antibiotics.

 

Consumption of certain antibiotics during your early

years can result in yellow teeth.There are several

situations where your professional might advise you not

 to undergo teeth whitening procedure. One of these

cases is when your front teeth have caps or crowns,

which simply cannot be whitened beyond their original

 colour with bleaching paste or gel.

 

Which teeth shades are easier to whiten?

 

In general if your teeth are yellow, it will be easier to

make them whiter. Gray teeth are harder to whiten. The

 easiest way to find out what to expect from teeth

 whitening is to talk to your consultant.

 

Can you bleach your teeth during

pregnancy or while nursing?

 

Teeth bleaching is not advisable for women that breast

feed and during pregnancy.

 

Will teeth whitening make my crowns,

bridges and veneers whiter?

 

No, tooth whitening only works on your natural teeth

and it will only bring your crowns, bridges and veneers

back to their original colour.

 

Can I bleach my teeth while I have

untreated cavities or gum problems?

 

It is advisable to first treat your cavities and/or gums

and whiten your teeth after that. If you suspect you have

 teeth problems and you are planning a teeth whitening

procedure, always go for dental checkup first.

 

How long do teeth whitening results last?

 

On average you can expect to have whiter teeth for 1 - 2

years after teeth whitening, but this will vary from

person to person and on your lifestyle. You can keep the

 results longer if you avoid foods and drinks that stain

 your teeth. Examples of foods and beverages that stain

 teeth are tea, coffee and red wine.

 

Can you whiten your teeth using teeth

whitening toothpaste?

 

Whitening toothpastes can be effective for removing

 surface teeth stains and to maintain your teeth whiter

 longer, after a teeth whitening procedure. Most

toothpastes offer on the market today are marketed as

 teeth whitening products.

 

 

Is teeth whitening painful?

 

Teeth whitening is not supposed to be painful, but with

that said keep in mind that it might cause tooth and/or

gum sensitivity. If this happens your MyWhiteSmile

consultant will provide you with a de-sensitizer at no

cost.

 

What is the right shade of white for my

teeth?

 

There is no "right" shade for your teeth and it all

depends on what shade do you want. It's a good idea to

 strike a balance between "movie star smile", which is

usually extremely white veneers, and a more natural

appearance of your teeth. Also keep in mind that gray,

 dark stained teeth might not respond well to teeth

whitening, while white and yellow teeth usually become

 whiter after treatment.

 

How many times a year can I have a teeth

whitening procedure done?

 

The teeth whitening procedure can be performed up to 3

 times per year.

 

What causes white spots on my teeth?

 

Usually too much fluoride during the development of

the teeth, causes white spots on teeth. If you see any

spots on your teeth always speak with your consultant

about them.

 

What is Carbamide Peroxide?

 

Carbamide peroxide is an oxidising agent, consisting of

 hydrogen peroxide compounded. The molecular

formula is CH6N2O3, or CH4N2O.H2O2. It is a white

crystalline solid that releases oxygen when it comes in

contact with water and particular light wavelengths.

 

Pure carbamide peroxide has the form of white crystals

or crystal powder, is soluble in water, and contains

 approximately 35% hydrogen peroxide.

 

Carbamide peroxide is used to

 

1. whiten teeth

2. relieve minor inflammation of gums, oral mucosal

 surfaces and lips including canker sores and dental

irritation; and to

3. emulsify and disperse ear wax.

 

Carbamide peroxide is commonly encountered in

cosmetic dentistry, where it is used to "bleach" teeth.

The active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide, which acts

to oxidise interprismatic extrinsic staining within tooth

enamel. 

 

The bleaching obtained is proportional to the length of

time the peroxide is applied to the tooth, and the

concentration used.

 

The concentration most commonly used for tooth

whitening purposes is 3% to 10% (that is available for

 over-the-counter sales in pharmacies).

 

The higher concentrations of 35% carbamide peroxide

 used by MyWhiteSmile is the same strength used by

dentists charging MANY,MANY  HUNDREDS of dollars

 more!

 

Other Comments.

 

If you have untreated cavities, problems with your gums

 (sensitive gums or gum disease), or the enamel of your

 teeth has thinned-out your professional might decide

against tooth bleaching. Another case where whitening

might not be recommended is if your teeth have dark

stains, as these are harder to bleach. The closer to

yellow your teeth are the better chance to achieve

strong whitening results.

 

Tooth bleaching is not recommended under the age of

16.
