Teeth whitening is one of the simplest cosmetic procedures if done right. Doing it right means using a proper whitening agent (that is, a good peroxide gel) and an appropriate accelerator. The most practical accelerator is a lamp using cold blue light with a wavelength of around 500 nanometers. This wavelength of light is ideal for accelerating the whitening process of different peroxides, such as hydrogen peroxide and car amide peroxide.

After Omega White!

The procedure is very simple. Peroxide gel is added to a clients teeth. The customer inserts the tray into the mouth, allowing the front of the teeth to contact directly with the gel. A blue cold light lamp is placed directly in front of the customer's open mouth and run for 15-20 minutes. Results are impressive. A 15-20 minute treatment yields an improvement of between 2-7 shades. The more treatments a person does, the whiter the teeth get.

It is important to note that not all lamps and gels are created equal. Even lamps with similar wavelengths will not produce the same results. Although the wavelength is important, the power output and intensity of the light produced by the lamp are very important too. The stronger the output and intensity, the quicker the gel is activated, which means that you get more action over a certain period of time. The temperature of the light is important for the comfort of the customer - the light must be cold. Some lamps produce warm or hot light that can burn the customer's face and it is not as effective at activating the peroxide in the gel.

Just as all lamps are not created equal, neither are whitening gels. Twelve percent hydrogen peroxide or 35% car amide peroxide gels provide the best results, but the gel has to be properly formulated to avoid tooth sensitivity. Our patented whitening gel is water-based, which means that it hydrates the teeth throughout the whitening procedure. Hydration of the teeth is what prevents sensitivity. At the same time, we optimized our whitening gels to work with the particular wavelengths and the pulses that our lamps produce. That is why Omega White's Teeth Whitening System is considered by industry insiders to be the best, namely the perfect combination of the best LED light and ideal gel formulations.

Who should NOT undergo teeth whitening?
Any of the following:

• Pregnant or lactating women
• People with poor enamel or decalcification caused by excessive use of fluorides
• People with periodontal disease including gingivitis or gums in poor condition
• People who wear braces or who had their braces removed less than 6 months ago
• People who recently had oral surgery
• People with decaying teeth or exposed roots
• People with open cavities
• People with a history of allergic reactions to peroxide products
• People with silver fillings in, near or behind the front teeth
• People under the age of 16

People with such conditions are rare so it can be assumed that over 90% of people can undergo and benefit from teeth whitening.

Can all teeth be whitened?
When the inner structure of the tooth becomes darker or yellowed, the stain is more difficult to remove or, depending on it's cause, may not be able to be removed at all. For example, tetracycline (an antibiotic) causes intrinsic (meaning that it affects the inner structure of the tooth) staining, when used by children under age 8 or women in the last half of their pregnancy. These stains cannot be removed by bleaching.

Fluorosis, a cosmetic dental condition that results from overexposure to fluoride during tooth development, also is not always successfully removed by bleaching. Mild to moderate fluorosis, characterized by white lines, streaks or spots, can be made less obvious by using whitening products or methods. However, in more severe cases of fluorosis, bleaching will not work.

A third type of stain is called "age-related." It's a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. As we age, the dentin (the inner portion of the tooth) gets slightly yellow. This can become visible through the outer enamel as it gradually becomes thinner over time. Yellow stains are the easist to remove with bleaching. Gray or black stains tend to be more difficult. Generally, stains that have just formed are easier than stains that have been on your teeth a while.

It is not possible to turn teeth whiter than their original natural white. In some cases, even normal teeth will achieve only minor whitening improvement no matter what product you use because they just don't react to the peroxide gel.

Artificial dental work such as crowns, bonding, caps, veneers, bridges, or composite fillings will also NOT respond to bleaching. Teeth Whitening gel will only whiten natural teeth. Artificial teeth will not be whitened yet they will not be damaged by the peroxide. Customers with artificial teeth wishing to whiten their natural teeth can use our products.

In general, results will vary from customer to customer depending on the types of stains present.

How long do results last?
In theory results can last up to 2 years, but in practice they last less. Depending on a person's consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, colas and other darkening agents such as tobacco, most people could probably use another whitening session 6 months later. It also depends on the quality of the enamel. If someone has non-porous enamel, results will last longer. Those who have porous enamel will be more vulnerable to staining beverages and food. These 2 factors will determine how long results will last.

Generally one can say between 6 months (if the customer has porous enamel, drinks staining beverages and/or smokes) and 2 years (if the customer has non-porous enamel and habits that do not include staining beverages and/or smoking).

What is the difference between the hydrogen and carbamide peroxide gel?
Which is the better choice?
This is a 3 to 1 relationship between carbamide and hydrogen. This means that 12% hydrogen peroxide is equivalent (in theory) to around 36% carbamide peroxide. Some people prefer carbamide because it is softer on the gums. However, in practice we have found that hydrogen peroxide works much better than carbamide.
