Custom Fit Tray Bleaching

Custom Fit Tray Bleaching is the most popular method of teeth whitening as it is less expensive and simple to perform. The dentist will acquire an impression of the patient’s mouth to create a plastic tray that will perfectly fit his teeth. When the customized tray is ready, a concentrated peroxide gel is partitioned into the tray and interpolated onto the teeth. This is made to correct discoloration of the teeth by extricating the brown and yellow stain. When the patients have severe discoloration or deep teeth stains, tray bleaching method is sometimes executed in combination with the laser bleaching.

The gradual whitening effect of this treatment may become visible after a few days but the final whitening effect of this method is usually achieved in two weeks time or after two to four visits to the cosmetic dentist. Stains that will be dislodged will never come back but depending on the patients eating habits, lifestyle, and oral hygiene, occasional maintenance may sometimes be needed to restrain the teeth whiteness.

Custom Fit Tray Bleaching can be also done at home. Patient may select to wear the bleaching trays during the day or at night while sleeping for around two hours each day but the patient should ensure that the gel is distributed to the teeth properly because uneven gel distribution might produce teeth that are unevenly white.

Although this method is safe and effective for most people when properly used, bleaching is not for pregnant women, persons who have sensitive teeth or gums, allergies, braces, and poor oral hygiene. Patients must read, qualify, and sign a consent form prior to whitening treatment.
