There are many different solutions on the market that tout the ability to whiten teeth, removing stains from natural yellowing, tobacco, and other stains. These teeth whitening solutions can range in price from twenty dollars for a set of teeth whitening strips, to hundreds of dollars for a custom solution where the treatments are done in the dentist’s office. One solution that is the middle of the road is a teeth whitening gel refill called Opalescence teeth whitening gel.
Benefits and Use Of Opalescence Teeth Whitening Gel
Opalescence teeth whitening gel is used within a mouth tray that is either made by the individual, or is one that has been custom made by a dentist’s office. Either way, the mouth tray provides the base into which the Opalescence teeth whitening gel is poured through an easy to use syringe, and the tray is inserted into the mouth. The solution is somewhat sticky so that the gel easily sticks to the teeth and helps to hasten the teeth whitening process.
The Opalescence teeth whitening gel comes in three different flavors to suite individual tastes, such as mint, melon and even an unflavored version. Depending on the strength of the bleach in the gel, the price of Opalescence teeth whitening gel can range from forty dollars for four syringes of the gel in a thirty-five percent solution, to just under thirty dollars for a ten percent solution. Although the thirty-five percent bleach solution costs slightly more, it works more quickly on the teeth and is usually the better choice economically speaking.
Since some people’s teeth are more sensitive to bleaching solutions, Opalescence teeth whitening gel has be formulated so that it does not cause as much sensitivity for users. Also, since some people do not have a tray to use with the refill, the Opalescence teeth whitening gel is made so that it sticks to teeth even if applied directly to the teeth, rather than using a tray. Although the person has to be more careful not to disturb the gel in this method, if they can stay still while it works, it will still whiten the teeth the same way as with the trays.
In addition, Opalescence teeth whitening gel can be used for all types of tooth discoloration, including some discoloration that is due to traumatic or congenital tooth discoloration. The formula is also made to help prevent re-coloration caused by different staining food, drinks and cigarettes so that the bleaching lasts longer for each person.
