It’s not surprising that Teeth Whitening has become so popular. It’s hard to feel self-confident with stained, darkened teeth. Feeling uncomfortable about smiling can cause others to mistakenly think that we are aloof or cold. A wide, friendly smile, on the other hand, makes meeting others a joy and leaves a positive impression.
Patients can brighten their smiles with treatments received in the dental office, at home or both. In-office treatments whiten teeth faster, but using trays at home is often recommended. A whitening gel is used to remove the stains from teeth. The whitening process done in the office uses a high intensity light to activate the whitening get. At home, the patient will use customized trays to keep the whitening get in contact with the teeth for a set length of time.
Another service used to achieve wonderful smiles is Invisalign braces. Many needed braces when they were children but were unable to have them and have subsequently always been bothered by their uneven teeth. Unlike the metal and wire braces of the past, Invisalign braces are barely seen and comfortable. While perfect for adults who want straight teeth but don’t want their braces to be obvious, Invisalign braces are also great for teens.
