BriteSmile Teeth Whitening – Worth it or just hype?
Other teeth whitening options that are available cannot even hold a candle to the BriteSmile Teeth Whitening procedure. BriteSmile, when compared to other methods, stands out in consistency, longevity, quality and whitening improvement.
This whitening system incorporates the BriteSmile ® Procedural Gel for its whitener. It is a bleaching compound that is hydrogen peroxide-based and it comes all ready to use because it is prepackaged. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 15% and it has a pH of 6.5. Along with the BriteSmile Teeth Whitening procedure, an accelerator is used before applying the gel for the second as well as the third times. This step is what enhances the whitener’s effect.
The BriteSmile Teeth Whitening procedure includes using a gas plasma or a light-emitting diode (LED) light for bleaching. These lights are also manufactured by BriteSmile, Inc. and are used especially with their unique in-office bleaching system.
These two lights have something in common. They both give off a light that has a wavelength between 400-500mn. The light that is emitted is of a blue-green color. In a statement by BriteSmile, the light within this wavelength range will activate a “photo-initiator” that is incorporated into the tooth whitener that was developed by this company. It goes a long way to enhance the whitening effect. As the light is put into position, it has the capability of simultaneously illuminating all teeth that are being bleached. The light units that are used with this particular teeth whitening system produce no significant heating effect on the patient’s teeth that are undergoing the bleaching process.
