How does tooth whitening with trays work?

• Mouthpiece manufacture: The dentist takes an impression of your teeth to create custom-made mouthpieces. These transparent trays are designed to fit your teeth perfectly.
• Application of whitening gel : A gel containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide is placed in the trays. These bleaching agents penetrate enamel to dissolve stain-causing pigments.
• Wearing the trays: The trays are worn for a set period of time, often between 30 minutes and several hours a day, depending on the product and the dentist's recommendations. Treatment can last from 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the level of whitening desired.

Advantages of bleaching with trays

• Customized results: The treatment is tailored to the current shade and the desired result.
• Safety: Performed under professional supervision, it minimizes risks to enamel and gums.
• Comfort: custom-made gutters are discreet and easy to use at home.
• Durability: With good oral hygiene, results can last several months to a year.

Indications for tooth whitening

• Teeth yellowed by drinking coffee, tea, red wine or tobacco.
• Stains due to age or natural wear of the enamel.
• Aesthetic desire for a brighter smile.

Tips for optimum results

• Avoid coloring foods and beverages (coffee, tea, red wine) during treatment.
• Maintain good oral hygiene (brushing, flossing).

This type of whitening offers an effective, discreet way of restoring a radiant smile while respecting your oral health.
