Custom
Teeth Whitening Trays by SmileBrilliant!
SmileBrilliant! was created by Betty Shah, a
30 year veteran in the dental industry. Realizing that much of the cost and
time associated with professional teeth whitening revolved around trips to the
dentist, Betty began experimenting with a system to allow customers to make
dental impressions themselves!
In
less than a year, she perfected the product and was working with some of the
world’s leading manufacturers of professional strength whitening gel.
With the support of her sons and close
friends, she began delivering product and creating trays from a make-shift lab
in her home basement.
It was not long before the world took
notice. Many people who saw meager results from over-the-counter products began
searching for better results. For most people, the $500+ price tag of
custom-fitted trays from a local cosmetic dentist was simply too much.
SmileBrilliant! began to take
off as fashion/beauty writers reviewed the product and customers told their
friends. Over the past 2 years, SmileBrilliant! has grown to service thousands
of customers worldwide.
The safest, most effective means of removing
stains from your teeth is with the use of hydrogen peroxide (HP) or carbamide
peroxide (CP). It’s not to say there are zero risks associated with the two but
the HP and CP risks are temporary and are limited to tooth sensitivity and gum
irritation. Personally, I have super sensitive gums so this product is not for
me. I have always had sensitive gums from childhood, primarily from not
flossing well. (So floss kids, floss!)
Hydrogen peroxide generally is only used by
dentists because the dentist can control the distribution of the gel using
“dental dams” and cheek protractors which holds the hydrogen peroxide on the
tooth and prevents it from coming in contact with the gums.
Gel freshness and packaging is of critical
importance when using hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. Both carbamide
peroxide and hydrogen peroxide have a shelf life of 1 year when stored at room
temperature and 2 years when stored in the refrigerator. The longer is sits on
a shelf the lower its rate of effectiveness.
TOOTH SENSITIVITY
It is estimated that tooth sensitivity will
occur in 66% of all teeth whitening users (I'm included in that count); however for the vast majority the
severity will be very mild.
Cause: Even though there are at least a
dozen causes of tooth sensitivity, there’s really only one thing going on: the
inside of your tooth is getting exposed to the harshness of the
outside world. In this scenario it is
hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.
Teeth are mostly made up of dentin, which
itself is filled with little tubules rife with sensitive nerve endings.
Normally, these tubules in the dentin are blocked off by enamel, a protective
layer on the outside of every tooth. Dentin hypersensitivity kicks in when we
have receding gum lines, grind, decay or have thin or
cracked enamel, exposing our teeth’s delicate insides.
Solution: Desensitizing gel is a pre-whitening
application that the user applies to the teeth whitening trays and wears for
30-60 minutes before using the teeth whitening gel. The desensitizing gel has
chemicals specifically designed to fill the exposed tubules in the dentin thus
blocking the bleaching agent from coming in contact with the dentin.
What About Those Other Teeth Whitening Products I've Tried?
Whitening Tooth Pastes and Mouth Washes
typically do NOT contain hydrogen peroxide and even if it did it would not be
very effective because in order for it to remove the stains from the surface
and within the tooth it would need to maintain contact with the tooth for a
minimum of 45 minutes. Another downfall to whitening tooth paste is it usually
contains abrasive material that wears down then enamel. Enamel cannot be
restored and will result in increased tooth sensitivity.
Whitening Strips will remove all surface
stains from the tooth it comes in contact with over time; however strips are
not adequate for combating those stains found in the crevices where the teeth
adjoin (especially when the teeth are not perfectly straight). Strips are also
NOT effective around the gum lines, nor do they reach the molars.
In-office Power Bleaching with a laser is
considered the most efficient means of whitening your teeth. Can't afford it? Try SmileBrilliant!
CUSTOM FITTED TEETH WHITENING TRAYS
Custom fitted teeth whitening trays are
without argument the most effective means of whitening/bleaching teeth because
they hold the gel to the surface of the tooth, crevices, and gum lines for
hours without interruption.
The trays are fabricated using an exact
impression of the consumer’s dental structure. Once the impressions have been
taken they are sent to a dental lab where a lab technician will pour a plaster
molding into the impression. Once the plaster has hardened they remove the
impression from the plaster molding and begin fabricating the custom fitted
teeth whitening trays.
Benefits of Custom Fitted Teeth Whitening Trays:
1) Last for years: maintaining stain free teeth
can cost as little as $20 a year.
2) Ensures all stains on the entire tooth
(molars, crevices, and gum lines included) are removed.
3) Treatments can be applied while sleeping.
4) Results will be the same as in office power
bleaching with laser
Tooth sensitivity solution available.
5) More effective than strips and in the long
run there is a cost savings.
Where to Buy
In the past, custom fitted teeth whitening
trays were only fabricated and sold by dentist for over $400. However, SmileBrilliant! shook the industry with their lab direct process. By removing
the dentist from the tray creation process SmileBrilliant! has lowered the
retail price of custom fitted teeth whitening trays!
