If you overlook the procedure for getting your teeth white, there is an option of teeth whitening trays which are used at a professional level and form a part of the home teeth whitening kits too. There are different kinds of whitening trays available in the market and outside the dentist’s shop. Hence, you can buy them easily and use them at your home itself for getting your teeth whitened, without visiting your dentists regularly.

How teeth whitening trays work?

Teeth whitening trays work only for a single purpose and that is to hold the tooth bleaching gel against your teeth. The bleaching gel is thus, present to work towards your teeth whitening. You just need to wait for the mentioned time depending upon the tray requirements and the results will be in front of your eyes.

When you meet someone,  it’s not just your eyes that get noticed first but also your smile. So,  just imagine how awkward you would feel if you had a crooked tooth,  or uneven and discolored teeth. Teeth whitening strips are considered to be among the best whitening products available today and are a good alternative to the earlier tray based whitening method.

How teeth whitening strips work on your teeth: These strips are made of slim polyethylene strips, coated with hydrogen peroxide which serves as the bleaching agent. Each kit of whitening strips comprises two sets of strips, one for the upper teeth and another for the lower.

Modern-day research proves that teeth whitening products and particularly teeth whitening strips are largely responsible for the loss of a good amount of dental enamel, particularly if done at home. This could well range between 1.2-2 nanometres on the teeth that have been treated.

This teeth whitening damage is due to the varying potencies of bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, contained in teeth bleaching strips, among other products. These agents give rise to free radicals that attack pigment molecules contained in the organic parts of tooth enamel and weaken it. When the pigment is reduced, it means that the molecules do no reflect light anymore, and as a result, the teeth appear whiter than before.
