What is a whitening tray?
teeth whitening tray is a mouth-guard like tray that is filled with peroxide based bleaching solution. You are supposed to wear the tray everyday for a few hours for about a month or even longer. There are three major types of whitening trays that are now available, one of these trays is disposable, and this is because the tray is made up of flimsy material. This tray is designed to just be used once.
The next type, has many advantages to it, one of the advantages is that the bleaching gel, that you would usually have to apply by hand is actually pre inserted, so you do not have to anything by hand. The teeth whitening bleach gel can be a fuss and a mess, so that is illuminated. It also meant that this type is actually custom-filled, which means that it will have consistent and has the exact amount of the bleaching gel. The draw back however is that since it is not custom fitted there are many times the tray would move around your mouth.
The second choice would be the non-disposable teeth whitening tray made of a rubber material that can easily conform to the shape of your mouth more efficiently than the first option. This comes with a tube of teeth whitening gel, which you would have to insert on the top and bottom of the tray before you wear it. Since these trays are bigger and wider, it is easier for the user to fit it into his/her mouth. The fact that you need to insert the gel yourself means extra work and the fact that it is not disposable means you have to clean it afterwards. You can dispose of the tray and replace it with a new after several uses or when you notice that the tray has become stretched or worn out.
The last type would be the custom fitted teeth whitening, which you can purchase directly from a dentist. Yes, it is the most expensive type of tray but it is also the most effective so your investment would be worth it. This type of tray is custom fitted to your mouth to ensure maximum effectiveness of the whitening product.
All the three types of whitening trays are available online; buying is a very good idea because you can not only save time, but you can also save money and of course energy. However you can also get great discounts on the deals on whitening products. However the third type you will need to pay your dentist a visit so the dentist can custom fit the tray to you’re mouth.
Whatever type of whitening tray that you decide to use, make sure that you pick a reliable and topnotch brand so you can be sure of quality, safety and effectiveness. Aside from that, be consistent with your use of the product and follow instructions thoroughly. Even if you have purchased a high quality product, if you fail to follow the directions, your teeth would not improve in color.
