Whitening your teeth is one of the easiest and most cost effective procedures you can do to improve your appearance. Many of us spend hours in the gym, agonize over diets, pay countless visits to the tanning and hair salons, change our wardrobes, and yet never give a second thought to the color of our teeth. And if we do think about, the cost is phenomenal. Why not save time while relaxing in a tanning booth by whitening your teeth comfortably for a minimal cost?

How does Twilight Teeth Platinum teeth whitening work?

The surface of your teeth contains millions of microscopic pores. Over time, organic compounds from food, beverages, and tobacco settle into these pores and cause discoloration of the tooth enamel. Twilight Teeth removes these stains with a powerful teeth-whitening process. The active ingredient in the system is Carbamide Peroxide, the same active ingredient used in professional dental offices nationwide. The whitening gel penetrates the pores in the surface of the teeth and removes stains by the process of oxidation. Because Carbamide Peroxide is known to be activated by low amounts of heat, The Twilight Teeth mouthpiece works to allow the UV light which already bleaches the teeth to heat and activate the whitening gel creating an easier, faster process for whitening teeth.

Why is Twilight Teeth as good or better than other whitening systems?

Simply put, other products either offer too little whitening gel to be effective, or lack a high enough concentration of Carbamide Peroxide in their whitening gel. Most gels are not thick enough to stay in place, and as mentioned contain very small concentrations of Carbamide Peroxide. For a whitening gel to be effective, it must contain a concentration of at least 10% Carbamide Peroxide. Twilight Teeth Platinum contains 21% concentration. Dental offices now offer Carbamide Peroxide based gels with concentrations higher than 16%, and in some cases as high as 35%, these levels are not suited for home use, and generally cost hundreds of dollars to complete the whitening process.

How long is the process?

The whitening process can be achieved through regular tanning sessions, and most people begin to see results within a few sessions. Continue the process until you achieve the desired level of whitening. After initial treatment, most people do touch ups once a month.

Does the process work on dental restoration?

The Twilight Teeth Platinum was developed specifically to whiten natural tooth enamel. Therefore, this system will not whiten or alter any dental restoration such as fillings, crowns, veneers, bonding, or bridgework.

Is this the same product sold by dentists for over $300?

Absolutely, our system uses the same active ingredient with the same strength and concentration that dentists use in take home kits. Dental offices usually require an alginate mold of your teeth from which a thin "EVA" mouthpiece is created. Because Carbamide Peroxide is activated by low heat, our Twilight Teeth mouthpiece allows the tanning bed to do its job directly to the teeth surface.

Are there any side effects?

A small percentage of users experience increased sensitivity to cold, or minor gum irritation. These symptoms will subside if the user stops the process for a few days. The Twilight Teeth dental whitening gel contains natural mint oil for a pleasant flavor, and is pH balanced to reduce, and in most cases eliminate any sensitivity that might be experienced. You can also solely use the Twilight Teeth mouthpiece with no sensitivity at all.

How long will the results last?

Teeth whitened with Twilight Teeth Platinum will stay noticeably whiter for up to a year, however, periodic "touch ups" should be performed to keep your smile its brightest. Your unique combination of age, foods, beverages, and tooth structure will influence the long-term results.

Who can benefit from Twilight Teeth Platinum?

Anyone from 15 to 100 who wants a more confident, vibrant smile. For those who are pregnant, considering getting pregnant or lactating, it is recommended you contact your physician before using Twilight Teeth Platinum.

What about "Laser Whitening"?

So-called "laser" or "high intensity light" bleaching consists of using a very strong whitening solution (usually 25% to 35% Carbamide Peroxide, which contains more traces of Hydrogen Peroxide) and "activating" the solution with a laser or other high intensity light. Because this solution is so concentrated this procedure must be undertaken in the dental office. Recent research, however, has indicated that this concentrated whitening solution is just as effective without light "activation" and, in fact, gives the exact same results when used alone. This procedure can take up to three dental office visits or more, and may cost up to $1000. As with any professional dental whitening system, follow up treatments will be needed to insure your teeth stay vibrant and white.
