Teeth Bleaching Trays – Will They Get Rid of Your Yellow Teeth?

If you’re anything like I used to be, you’re struggling to find a cost effective way to get that white smile you know you deserve. I know when I had yellow teeth, I would spend a lot of time preoccupied with how I was going to sit down for another Holiday meal without smiling. In fact, I was so self-conscious that there were times where I’d continuously smile in washroom mirrors just to check if my teeth had become even more yellow than they already were. To that end, I decided enough was enough. I was going to find a way to get a whiter smile without spending all my money. So eventually I did some research on teeth bleaching trays and found some very interesting information…

How Do They Work? Teeth bleaching trays contain a form of peroxide, usually Carbamide Peroxide. This peroxide eventually breaks down into Hydrogen Peroxide which acts to remove deep rooted stains in your teeth through the process of oxidation. You can purchase teeth bleaching trays with 10-30% peroxide content for a very low price. What’s important to note is that the higher the peroxide content the more effective the tray. Anything over 25% is too much though.

How Long Do You Leave Them On? Generally, you’ll leave the teeth bleaching trays on your teeth for approximately 15-20 minutes at a time depending on the instructions. You’ll do this twice per day for two weeks (in some cases more than two weeks).

Are There Any Side Effects? The only negative side effect accompanying teeth bleaching trays is that your teeth may become sensitive for up to one week after you stop the whitening process. If you find that your teeth are becoming very sensitive, lower the amount of time you leave the trays on. Or you can start brushing with Sensodyne.

How Do I Find the Best Teeth Bleaching Tray? Instead of visiting your dentist and asking him to sell you a take home tray (for hundreds of dollars), your best bet is to do some searching online. Personally, I found two teeth bleaching trays that did a phenomenal job of whitening my teeth, and they were given to me as a free trial. By searching online, you can find some really good deals…
