SmilePlace Non Prescription Whitening Teeth Trays
There is a Smile Place Teeth Whitening System available from the UK at around £99 that offers customized dental trays that seems much more attractive to individuals with irregular teeth structure that have a hard time using those generic teeth trays that comes with off the shelf tooth bleaching gels, yet do not wish to invest heavily into a pair of customized teeth trays made professionally by your dentist (cost around $300).
The Smile Place Teeth Whitening System includes a set of clinical putty for making impressions of their teeth structure by the consumers themselves. The putty impressions are then mailed back to the SmilePlace company for making the final individualized dental trays. Do not worry about making a mistake and creating a poor fitting set of teeth trays. There are sufficient putty for two attempts to make a proper set of teeth impressions. This DIY approach to customizing teeth trays allow the consumers to save on the cost of the dentist factor (we are not questioning the dentist's qualifications, just wanna save some money in these tough times).
The Smile Place dental trays are packaged with a carbamide peroxide teeth whitening gel and you can choose from 3 different formulations depending on how bad your teeth discolorations are or whether you have sensitive teeth. Unfortunately, you cannot have the best of both worlds such as extra whitening strength for sensitive teeth. If you are unable to decide or this is your first attempt in DIY non-dentist teeth whitening, choose the regular one. This value in this product is definitely in the cheap custom made teeth trays, so everything else is a bonus.
How much carbide peroxide whitening teeth gel to use? How long to wear the SmilePlace dental trays?
Just squeeze sufficient gel to cover half the front side/slope of the tray which will whiten your front teeth which are noticable by others. Do not fill the tray completely with the peroxide teeth gel, or you waste too much of it and its quite messy to wipe them off your gums. Letting too much carbide peroxide gel touching the gums can lead to temporary sensitive gum problems in some people. The different gels will have different application time, so follow the instructions clearly. You should not be wearing the gel-filled trays for more than 2 hours everyday. If you start to get tooth sensitivity pains, reduce the time on wearing these dental trays but not less than 30mins. Otherwise, you get very little teeth whitening benefits. Instead, you can choose to bleach your teeth once every few days instead of daily to alleviate teeth aches.
If you feel that Smile Place is more adept at making teeth trays and not so much into the bleaching gels, then you can also choose to use your favorite brand such as the Opalescence PF 15% gel from UltraDent if it gives you more confidence.

Why do at home teeth whitening yourself
Spend less than $100 compared to any dentist teeth whitening which starts from $300 onwards. It is so affordable that a normal person should not feel any barrier to attempting to whiten their fabulous smiles.
No need to rush or apply leave from work in order to visit the dentist for in-office tooth bleaching or laser whitening. Even if we have the time, some of us still hate to see the dentist. Do you know why?
See whiter teeth results in around two or three weeks. Yes this is nothing to boast about since any laser teeth whitening procedures can get the same results in an hour, but do you want to pay 10 times more?
Tried and tested results from surrounding friends, colleagues and families. We think that since at home teeth whitening products such as SmilePlace DIY customized teeth trays, Crest whitestrips, Opalescence whitening teeth gel are much cheaper and easily bought from nearby stores and pharmacies, they get more widespread usage and you can seek feedback and comments about their effectiveness and shortcomings. If I have spent $1000 on some professional laser whitening treatment and gotten crap improvements in my teeth discolorations, I would have quietly kept my mouth shut about it. You are more likely to hear only positive reviews than negative reviews about expensive dentist teeth whitening because of this ego issue.

Opalescence Trèswhite Supreme
Instead of the usual carbamide peroxide formulation, Ultradent decided to add in 10% active hydrogen peroxide bleaching ingredient for faster whitening results. Opalescence Treswhite contains more micro potassium nitrate and fluoride which are clinically proven to remineralize the teeth, protect against sensitive tooth pains and prevent cavities. The teeth tray is quite thin and flimsy – since this is meant to be a disposable teeth tray, there is no need to design and build for durability which increases product costs. One good thing about the flimsy teeth tray membrane is that there are lesser chances of bruising your gums as you try to fit them over your teeth. We find it more comfortable compared to the other generic teeth trays out there. This can be important because you are going to wear them for at least 30 minutes daily for the next 10 days. Making it a less painful experience will help you pull through the entire at home teeth whitening treatment.
Yes, we know both over the counter and dentist teeth whitening products taste quite bad, so Ultradent made the Treswhite Supreme in supposedly delicious mint, melon, and peach flavors delight. We do not find any of these particularly delicious, which is actually important such that you do not conveniently forget and start swallowing them. Anyway, we find the mint flavor the least repulsive and "natural" because we are so used to mint toothpastes.
The fine print warns that Opalescence Treswhite Supreme is not able to bleach or improve the color of teeth crowns, fillings, dentures, braces or cavities etc. If you have grayish or brownish teeth due to internal discolorations, they will not get the same improvements as well as yellowish stains caused by diet and smoking. Yes, this is another product plug by http://dentistwhitening.blogspot.com

Opalescence PF 15% Peroxide Teeth Gel
Because of its unique properties, the Opalescence whitening gel is recommended for use with specially designed teeth trays that are customized for each patient at the dental whitening clinic. Although you can try to use generic teeth trays, you will get less whitening benefits. The Opalescence teeth tray has unique scalloped reservoirs designed to minimize contact with the soft gum tissues. The tray and its contained peroxide bleaching gel are designed to touch only the teeth surface and not the gums in order to minimize bruising and gum sensitivity aches.
Any teeth bleaching gels with higher than 20% carbamide peroxide should not be worn overnight or you risk severe teeth sensitivity pains. In fact, you should only use them on your teeth for up to a maximum of 1 hour per day. All Opalescence gels are not meant to be used overnight because of their higher potency content compared to other brands. So make sure you read the product instructions carefully and do not mix up their usage. If the recommended treatment time is 30 to 60 minute per daily session, try to hit as long as 60 minutes unless you feel pain or discomfort that makes you wanna quit. If you cannot put on the gel for at least 30 minutes, try buying another product with lower carbamide peroxide content. It is not just the amount of peroxide that determines how well your teeth whitening experience goes, the amount of time the peroxide gel stays on your teeth surface can be just as or even more important. Milder formulations such as the Opalescence 10% PF gel can be worn and tolerated for longer periods of time by patients with sensitive gums and teeth. If you happen to be one of these, http://dentistwhitening.blogspot.com advises that gentle, slow and safe teeth whitening treatments are the right way to go.

Cheap DIY And Dentist Teeth Whitening Guide
Before that, we need to remind you of the common side effects that can occur among people who are undergoing teeth bleaching. Many people experience tooth sensitivity and mild irritation of the gums during the early stages of the bleaching treatment, often right away the first day. This should be temporary and will disappear within 1 to 3 days after you stopped the whitening treatment.
Over-the-Counter Teeth Gels
Whitening teeth gels are applied directly to the surface of your yellowish teeth using with a tiny brush or pen. It is an important component in nearly all types of teeth whitening treatments. Expensive laser whitening treatments involve the use of teeth gels and the affordable $10 crest whitestrips contain them as well. If you are wondering how the gel is supposed to stick to your teeth since the mouth is always wet, yes it is not supposed to work by itself alone. You either wear a teeth tray or strip over the gel in order to shield it from your saliva. For at home teeth treatments without any laser equipment, you need at least an hour for the carbide peroxide teeth whitening gel to start injecting oxygen into your teeth dentin. The amount of active bleaching ingredient hydrogen peroxide and carbide peroxide contained in the different brands of tooth gel directly affects the duration of the tooth whitening treatment as well as the amount of shade improvements you can achieve. Over the counter products and mild formulations with less than 10% peroxide-based gels generally require at least 14 to 21 days to see any visible results.
Cheap Whitestrips
These costs around $10 to $50 depending on the strength formulation of the hydrogen peroxide. They are about the cheapest teeth bleaching product you can try on your own. Crest whitening strips looked like very thin pieces of tape that you stick over your front teeth area - the part where you show while smiling. As mentioned, the strips only serve to apply the peroxide bleaching gel onto the teeth surface and prevent saliva from diluting the teeth gel. How fast and how much whitening can be achieved depends on the tooth gel again. Generally, it is not as fast as you would like and you really need 3 weeks of patience. White teeth can be sustained for about 4 months as long as you do not smoke, drink coffee and sour acidic stuff frequently.
Customized Teeth Trays
Whitestrips are only used for the front teeth areas shown during a smile. If you have a really wide smile, using Crest whitestrips will only reveal an obviously uneven smile - some parts white while the canines and premolars are yellowish. If you want to whitening all your teeth including the molars and wisdom tooth as well, try teeth trays which can be used to apply bleaching teeth gel to your entire teeth surface. It is a plastic mould that fits over your upper and lower set of teeth to avoid saliva from touching and washing away the applied teeth gel. You can buy some cheap generic teeth trays from the pharmacies or large departmental stores for less than $20. These may or may not fit well over your teeth structure. If you have some teeth irregularities, they may not even be worn properly over your teeth at all. Do not try to force the teeth tray over or you risk bruising the delicate gum tissues and lead to further irritation and sensitivity aches when the bleaching agent seeps into the gum tissues. In that case, you can order a set of customized teeth trays from your dentist costing around $150. With cheaper semi individualized smileplace non prescription teeth trays, you can also allow the teeth gel more time to deeply bleach and clean the external stains off your teeth.
Dangerous Whitening Toothpastes
These toothpastes help remove stains from the teeth surface with some mild abrasive content. Many dentist warn against frequent use of such abrasive toothpastes because they can remove too much of the teeth enamel protective layer along with the yellow stains. When that happens, the tooth dentin material is easily damaged. You get yellowed teeth and cavities more easily and faster compared to the time before you abused such whitening toothpastes. Anyway, these toothpastes tend not to contain any bleaching peroxide, hence their whitening effects are very limited and not worth the risk or trouble to harm your tooth enamel.
Since there are so many teeth whitening products available on the shelves of pharmacies and supermarkets, it can get really confusing for a first time customer to choose a suitable DIY whitening product. Try to ask around for the opinions and feedbacks of friends and colleagues that have already tried some of these brands. You can try searching for reviews online, but it is easier to look at the teeth of people around you to get confidence about the product you are going to pay for.
In-Office/Dentist Teeth Whitening
In-office teeth whitening by a qualified dentist is definitely the quickest and safe teeth whitening treatments to improve your teeth color and smile. The most well known procedures include Zoom, Britesmile, Fabulous Smile, etc and other laser based teeth whitening solutions. Although teeth gel is also used in these dentist whitening treatments, this gel often contain much higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, around 30%. A special medical laser light is shone on the teeth gel in order to quicken the bleaching process. Results can be and are indeed often seen after a single 60 minute session. Yes, you do get what you paid for, and that is around $100 per treatment. If you cannot wait, make sure your wallet can pay. Most people said that it is well worth the money and time saved on the slower teeth treatments. Most people pay around $500 to $1,000 for the entire dentist teeth whitening treatment.
