LED Teeth Whitening

LED
Whitening

LED teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that combines a bleaching agent, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, with light-emitting diode (LED) light to enhance the whitening process. The LED light activates the bleaching agent, accelerating the chemical reaction that breaks down stains on the teeth, resulting in a brighter smile.  Overall, LED teeth whitening offers a modern approach to achieving a brighter smile, combining the efficacy of bleaching agents with the accelerating power of LED light.

How It Works

  • A whitening gel containing the bleaching agent is applied to the teeth.
  • A blue LED light is directed at the teeth, activating the bleaching agent and speeding up the stain removal process.
  • Treatment times can vary but typically involve multiple sessions to achieve the desired level of whiteness.

Effectiveness

LED teeth whitening can produce noticeable improvements in tooth brightness, especially for extrinsic stains caused by foods, drinks, or smoking. However, results can vary based on factors such as the initial tooth color, type of stains, and the quality of the whitening system used.

Safety Considerations

When performed correctly, LED teeth whitening is generally considered safe. Some users may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation, which typically subsides after the treatment. It’s advisable to consult with a dental professional before starting any whitening regimen to ensure it’s appropriate for your dental health. 

Pros and Cons

  • Quick Results: LED whitening can deliver faster results compared to some other whitening methods.
  • Non-Invasive: The procedure doesn’t require drilling or removal of tooth structure.
  • Temporary Sensitivity: Some individuals may experience increased tooth and gum sensitivity following the procedure.
  • Variable Outcomes: Results can differ based on individual factors and the nature of tooth discoloration.
Teeth Bleaching

Step 1: Brush and Dry Your Teeth
Before starting, brush and floss your teeth thoroughly to remove any plaque or food particles. Pat your teeth dry with a tissue or towel to improve gel adhesion.

Step 2: Apply the Whitening Gel
•Open the whitening gel syringe.
•Apply a small amount (a thin line) of gel evenly inside the top and bottom trays of the mouthpiece. Avoid using too much gel to prevent gum irritation.

Step 3: Insert the Mouth Tray
•Place the mouth tray into your mouth, ensuring the gel-coated areas cover your teeth.
•Gently bite down and hold the tray in place.

Step 4: Turn on the LED Light
•Press the power button on the LED light to activate it.
•The blue light will begin working to accelerate the whitening process.
•Keep the device in your mouth for the recommended time (usually 15-30 minutes).

Step 5: Rinse and Clean
•After the session, remove the tray and rinse your mouth with water.
•Use a soft toothbrush to remove any excess gel from your teeth.
•Rinse the mouth tray and LED light with lukewarm water and let them dry completely.

Step 6: Repeat as Needed
•Follow the whitening schedule recommended by VIVA STYLE (typically once daily for 5-10 days).
•Avoid eating or drinking staining foods (coffee, tea, red wine) for at least 30-60 minutes after each session.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use consistently for optimal whitening.
  • Store the whitening gel in a cool, dry place.
  • If sensitivity occurs, reduce usage frequency.
  • Avoid swallowing the gel.

By following these steps, you’ll achieve a noticeably whiter smile safely and comfortably from home. Enjoy your results with VIVA STYLE LED Whitening System!
