There are two main methods for teeth whitening.

There are two main methods for teeth whitening (which are sometimes combined), and which are conducted at home and / or in the dental office.
Bleaching at home is the use of special guards we make in the laboratory so that you go to the extent of each patient. To save these patients have added a car amide peroxide gel to 10% before going to sleep at night, and use them throughout the night until they wake up in the morning. Brush your teeth, clean their guards, and repeat the same procedure during the night. Typically, patients will complete their syringes with car amide peroxide gel in 2 to 3 weeks of daily use, except those patients who show sensitivity and it takes a little longer (a month). Other patients decide they no longer want to whiten your teeth but most have not completed their syringes, thus suspending their treatment at that time.
Bleaching at home usually consists of three appointments. The first is to take the prints to send to their guards to the laboratory. The second is a cleaning paste for prophylaxis, and the color is determined by taking the initial picture of the teeth that are going to launder. Also at this event were handed their guards and whitening kit with instructions for use at home. The final appointment is made for the implementation of fluoride and making the final photograph of the patient's teeth. The application of fluoride is not done because the enamel is lost with the bleaching, but because it wants to avoid having a greater susceptibility to the generation of tooth decay treated.
The bleaching in the office usually consists of two quotations. It is done in the office since it uses a paste with car amide peroxide at 35%, which can only be applied professionally as they can not come into contact with the patient's gums because they are burning. In the office, completely protect the patient's gums during the implementation of this product.
