| Determining
which system delivers the best teeth whitening results for your
money, begins with identifying what is available to you as a
consumer and then understanding the pros and cons of each.
First of all, how does teeth whitening work?Basically, teeth whitening products work by either bleaching the
*natural tooth enamel beyond its surface with peroxide based
formulations OR via physical or chemical agents such as sodium
bicarbonate, that work at the surface level removing stains etc. , these are typically
whitening
tooth pastes. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), the most commonly used "in home" active ingredient in teeth bleaching products is carbamide peroxide. This is also what dentists use. Of coarse, the concentration level of the peroxide is the key to the cost, speed and effectiveness of the whitening and varies from product to product, particularly store bought whiteners. Get whiter teeth within days ... Professional teeth whitening results, at a dramatically reduced cost and a 100% money back guarantee.
Glycerin is often found in even some of the best teeth whitening formulations and although it is not dangerous, it is said to be the culprit behind temporary tooth sensitivity. There has also been the odd report of minor gum irritation and bleeding (although likely a result of product method ie. improper fitting tray in combination with too much product).
What teeth whitening systems are available? With
a recent Harris survey establishing Teeth whitening can be performed professionally at a dentists office or in the comfort of your own home. However, all products are not created equal, in fact they can be far from the best teeth whitening systems. Their are basically three different types of teeth whitening products: 1. Brush On Whitening- An easy, inexpensive "in
home" concept to grasp and use but with some pitfalls .
The idea is to paint the product onto the teeth, let it dry and work
its magic. Used over the coarse of two weeks, moderate results
can be seen. However, letting something dry and stay dry in
your mouth is not an easy venture. Variables like this, in
addition to missing spots upon application or spots rubbing off can
deliver blotchy results. This type is far from the best teeth
whitening available. Products you may be familiar with
include Colgate Simply White Simply White Night Clear Whitening Gel
The Exception-GoSMILE Tooth Whitening on the Go, Ampules
2. Strips Applied To Teeth- Again, an easy, inexpensive "in
home" product with pitfalls. When applied, it will
be easy to miss grooves between teeth since the surface you are applying the
strips to isn't perfectly flat. In addition the results are
far from dramatic. The best teeth whitening products in this
group, that are popular and doing well
include Crest Whitestrips Dental Whitening System Strips
3. Trays With Bleaching Gels-This is the best teeth whitening system for cost versus results tradeoff when done "in home". This system originated in dental labs for dental professionals to perform. A custom fit tray for your teeth was developed, and the dentist would use a lower concentration of peroxide in the tray that you would wear two hours at time over the course of 3- 4 visits. The price for this system was in the $ 500 dollar range. This system has improved in office and has a higher price tag (click here for information on zoom teeth whitening), but also an improved system is now available direct to the consumer. The best teeth whitening systems are now available out of office. The same dental labs that make trays from the impressions that dentists send to them, will now perform that service for you. In addition they will supply the exact same bleach formulation that dentists use, to you.TIP: Stay away from awkward "fits one, fits all" trays. You need to ensure all surface areas of your teeth are being saturated with the bleaching solution in order to get the best teeth whitening results.
Not long ago, the best teeth whitening results were only achieved in a dental office. However, the recent arrival of dental lab direct molds to the consumer has changed this. Now, any consumer can get excellent results at a fraction of the cost of the dentist, by purchasing these professional whitening systems direct (you are not paying for the dental practice overhead in your price). Virtually the same labs custom developing teeth molds into trays and supplying dental practices with bleaching formulations, are now delivering that same service direct to the consumer. This has made teeth whitening affordable to the masses. One highly rated teeth whitening system stands out in particular. Why do I like it?

One
other recommended system I will note is by leading breath battling
frontier dentist, Dr Katz and his highly acclaimed Therabreath
products. Dr. Katz has now introduced a teeth whitening
system using tray and bleaching gel. What I like about this
product? An
alternative to bleaching your teeth, is of coarse, using milder
surface effective tooth pastes that will diminish stains, brighten
and polish your teeth. Although not among the best teeth
whitening products, you may not need industrial strength to serve
your purposes. As mentioned above, chemical or
physical agents such as baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) or the patented calprox
(calcium peroxide) found in Supersmile Whitening Fluoride Toothpaste
