Intro to Enlighten Teeth Whitening

Enlighten is the brand of a particular type of teeth whitening product. This is a bleaching procedure that dentists usually use in order to quicken the process of dental brightening.

It has been already used successfully by many people. This is a short guide to let you know what to expect if you were to use it. This brief overview can also help you decide if this is the solution that is right for you or if you need to find another way of achieving beautiful white teeth.

How it Works?

The first step is for the dentist to put a mold in your teeth. This then dries in your mouth and is what is used to create custom-made trays. The solution for oral bleaching is then dispensed inside these trays.

The Enlighten teeth whitening custom tray and solution dental bleaching method is typically used for 14 nights in a row. After a two-week period of wearing these trays , you then visit the dentist.

Ideally, your dentist appointment should be made for the 15th day of the whitening process. At this time  you receive a one-hour bleaching treatment.

Expected Results

The outcome is usually more than twice as favorable as home products that lighten the teeth by 7 shades. The Enlighten procedure can induce a change of up to 16 shades, at least 14 shades.

Of course, the results vary from person to person. This is a general expectation of the outcome, which most people would find pleasing considering the fairly high cost.

Length of Effectiveness

The Enlighten system is expected to last indefinitely, especially when the custom-made tray and gel is applied once every eight weeks after first application session is completed.

Keep in mind that the maintenance applications only require one session of deep bleaching versus two weeks’ worth. With regular maintenance, this is meant to be a permanent solution.

Risk

Because of the fact that the bleaching trays are customized it cuts down on burning and irritation of the gums. It also helps cut down on tooth sensitivity.

If a patient does experience a problem it usually is very minor as long as the Enlighten process is done correctly. If you have any further questions regarding risk you can talk to your dentist.

Cost

As you probably already know, the cost is higher using the Enlighten teeth whitening process. However, the rewards are also greater but yet there is minimal complication. It may not be right for everyone but it may be right for you.
