Over time, the natural aging process, lifestyle, and the foods that one eats or drinks, can stain and yellow a patient’s teeth. There are many tooth whitening methods. The patient should choose a method that has long-lasting effect, results in a natural and uniform look of the teeth, is safe and effective, uses the least amount of active ingredient (hydrogen peroxide) to achieve the desired result, and is administered by a dental professional.

Teeth Whitening Trays (Bleaching Trays)

Tray whitening makes an excellent choice for those people who like to do things themselves. It’s the original at-home method, and the one that’s still considered to be the most effective and predictable of them all.

Tray-based systems (like those dispensed by dentists to their patients) work like this:

• Plastic bleaching trays are made that fit over the user’s upper and lower teeth.
• To perform treatments, the user places whitening gel in the trays and then seats them over their teeth.
• The trays are then worn for a prescribed period of time (often multiple hours per day, or else overnight), for a series of days or weeks, as the effects of the whitening process gradually take place.
