Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does BleachBright work?
A: Using our patented one size fits all double
sided mouthpiece/lens,
you will receive foam strips that are impregnated with a special
whitening gel and other essential ingredients. A patented spectrum blue
LED (ADT-1500SP), with precise settings, is positioned between the upper
and lower teeth. This formulation forces activation.
Hydrogen peroxide and oxygen will break into water molecules and free
oxygen radicals. The oxygen radicals combined with carbon-based
molecules in the stained teeth proceed to make all stains clear. This
process will penetrate the tooth enamel but will not damage the enamel.
Once the stains are removed, they will then attach themselves to the
form strips. This is referred to as a physical stain removal at the
speed of light.

Q: Is BleachBright safe?
A: Research has shown that if the teeth and
gums are normal and healthy there are no adverse effects to bleaching
one's teeth. You must make sure the dosage is of legal limits and not
excessive and administered in a professional manor. People with tooth
decay and with any type of gum disease should avoid this treatment.
Never treat a pregnant woman; no know side effects are affirmed but it
is simply a precaution.

Q: Who may benefit from the BleachBright system?
A: Almost everyone will enjoy a benefit to the
bleaching process if teeth and gums are healthy. Remember, teeth can not
be bleached whiter than genetically possible. Tetracycline stain can not
be removed. Also any stains resulting from excessive fluorides or porous
teeth will have little result. Excluding the above, about 95% of our
clients experience success.

Q: I have a crown on my anterior or front teeth. Will
your product whiten my crown?
A: No, but the standard procedure is to first
whiten all adjacent teeth, wait two weeks for the color to stabilize,
then go to your dentist and have him match the crown to the new shade of
your teeth. On the contrary, if a crown is already been in place for
many years, the whitening process can return the rest of the teeth to
the original shade prior to the crown placement. The same goes for
composites, bridges, and veneers.

Q: Will the gel and peroxide you offer be the same as
from my family dentist?
A: Absolutely. Our partner in dentistry actually
supplies a great deal of product to dentist offices throughout the
nation. Our carbamide peroxide, although at legal limits, are in many
cases more potent than what your dentist will supply. The key to the
success of our whitening system is our patent blue light technology
which increases the potency of whitening in fraction of the time and
cost.

Q: Is this procedure done by a dentist?
A: This bleaching process is provided by
professionals in the teeth whitening business and are not necessarily a
dentist.

Q: What causes stains?
A: Some teeth are naturally pigmented or stained as
they develop. Typically, stains come from exposure to tea, coffee,
smoking, juices, colas, wine, age, or just about anything that would
stain a white tee shirt. This is why we highly recommend the KeepWhite
Pen to
stay bright.

Q: Are there any side
effects?
A: Some people may feel a little tingling sensation, white gum line, or
sensitivity, all of which are normal and hold no real danger. Typically,
this will only last from a couple of hours not to exceed 24 hours.
Back to top
Q: How long before I can eat or drink after my
treatment?
A: The first 24 hours we would recommend to avoid
coffee, tea, dark colored sodas, red wines, berries, candy, red sauces,
beets, or any foods that have the propensity to stain. Remember if it
leaves a tee shirt stained it will stain your teeth.
