How Does A Teeth Whitening Treatment Work?
Top Nova Orthodontics offers personalized services in professional teeth whitening treatments depending on specific needs and preferences. When administering teeth whitening treatments at Top Nova Orthodontics, we ensure they meet the highest precision standards to achieve maximum results.
During the treatment, an agent containing bleach from hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide is applied to the tooth surface. These bleachers break down color-binding molecules responsible for staining, thus revealing lighter enamel beneath. In-office whitening methods usually involve painting teeth with highly concentrated whitening gels, which are then activated by a particular light or laser. This activation hastens the whitening process so that even within one visit, proper results will be achieved faster.
Types of Adult Teeth Whitening Treatments:
- In-Office Teeth Whitening: This professional whitening procedure is carried out within a dentist's office, whereby strong dental bleaching gels are applied to the patient's teeth.
- At-Home Teeth Whitening Kits: These kits usually contain customized trays and a milder whitening gel that patients can apply at home.
- Over-the-counter Whitening Products: You will find many over-the-counter (OTC) whitener types, such as strips, toothpaste, and gels, for sale in grocery stores or pharmacies.

Detailed Procedure of Teeth Whitening Treatment
- Initial Assessment: Before starting any teeth whitening treatment, our experienced orthodontic practitioners will thoroughly examine your oral health and help us to determine if you qualify for such an operation. This can be done by reviewing dental records, visually inspecting teeth, and taking radiographs to evaluate tooth enamel health.
- Pre-Procedure Readiness: If you qualify for teeth whitening, our orthodontists will ensure you are ready for it. This may involve impressing your teeth to produce custom-made trays and barriers to protect your gums from the gel.
- Bleaching Application:: At this point, we start the whitening process after the preparation phase. Depending on how you want the treatment conducted, i.e., in-office or at-home basis, our orthodontists will either fit you with a mouthpiece filled with a particular whitener or use a specifically designed one.
- Activation (if applicable): For office bleaching procedures, dentists apply special light or laser treatment to trigger bleaching agents, speeding up bleaching and improving outcomes.
- Monitoring and Adjustment: Throughout tooth whitening, our orthodontic experts closely monitor your progress so as not to compromise your safety and efficiency. Adjustments can always be made to ensure less sensitivity toward achieving the desired whiteness.
- Post-Treatment Care: After completing the whitening process, they will give you instructions on how to look after your new white teeth.
Advantages of Teeth Whitening Treatments
- Improved Outlook: Most people go for teeth whitening because they want better smiles. With clean white teeth, one feels more confident while socializing with others, including workmates and employers.
- Rejuvenating Look: As an individual grows old, their enamel thins off, making it translucent, hence exposing dentine, which is yellowish in coloration, thus giving a person's dentition such appearance, pointing out the aging effect taking place naturally, among other reasons, making person' teeth appear duller along the way. Therefore, teeth whitening can be used to make one look even younger since it is capable of reversing these changes.
- For Special Occasions: People undergo whitening just before some memorable events such as weddings or graduations, hoping for excellent pictures and beautiful smiles while communicating with others.
Tooth Whitening Side Effects:
- Tooth Sensitivity: The most significant risk associated with tooth whitening is temporary tooth sensitivity.
- Gum Irritation: After teeth whitening, some patients may experience redness and slight swelling in their gums.
- Uneven Whitening: Sometimes, areas on the teeth can whiten more effectively than others, causing blotchy results.
