The spa-like Britesmile teeth whitening solution uses a state of the art proprietary laser light to activate the bleaching process in the high concentration hydrogen peroxide teeth. Working in conjunction, these two effectively remove external stains on your teeth and improve your dental hygiene. Unlike other types of laser teeth treatments, the BriteSmile laser system emits light with neither heat nor UV rays which can be harmful to our bodies. Each treatment lasts only about an hour and the best part is that dramatic whiter shade results can be seen almost immediately. If you are rushing for a important photo shoot or hot date, you just need to pay more for getting a confident smile. A unsubstantiated study in Boston claims that patients undergoing BriteSmile procedure also improved the health of their gums. We are not convinced it is really directly due to the laser and bleaching treatments. Most likely these people felt the pinch of the expensive Britesmile process and are angry with their previous poor oral hygiene that led to yellowish teeth. To avoid paying through their nose again, most decided to take more proper care and brush their teeth regularly to prevent stain buildups.

If you have been using teeth gels for whitening your teeth but is not very successful, you are probably missing the other side of the complete equation - the teeth trays. These plastic molds that fit over your upper and lower set of teeth can help to prevent your saliva from diluting and washing away the teeth gels coated on your teeth. A good set of teeth trays fit securely over your teeth without causing too much discomfort.
