Are dental bleach teeth whitening the same as dental bleach trays? The answer to this question is both yes and no. The reality is that one of the terms has been misnamed, and was initially intended to replace the other.
Dental bleach whitening is the more outdated and still fairly popular method of whitening ones teeth. As people age, their teeth may contract stains and become discoloured on its outer layer due to foods, the consumption of specific beverages and smoking. The outer layer is referred to as the enamel.
Fact: Dental bleach works by stripping layers of your enamel way in order to eliminate the stains, and then penetrates the teeth in order to counter the stains that exist deeper within the teeth.
While this method is effective at getting rid of stains, its very painful and is generally bad for your teeth, on a number of different levels.
Along the way, other methods have been devised in order to effectively whiten teeth. Whitening strips, which you stick to your teeth and they absorbs the stains that exist on it was a cool new idea, but just like the whitening toothpaste, was only capable of removing stains that existed at the surface of the tooth, temporarily. Since the only way of cleaning stains that exist inside the teeth was by using dentist bleach, the price was significantly high, and the home kits that were made available at the time cost even more. This is when later technology came into action.
Dental bleach gel tray is in fact a peroxide gel substance. Unlike the bleach, it works by absorbing into the teeth; eliminating the stains that exist on it. This enables it to do the same task without damaging your teeth, a method that has been approved by the FDA as a safe method of whitening your teeth at home.
