Introduction to Take-Home Whitening
Take-home teeth whitening kits are an excellent option for those who prefer the convenience and comfort of whitening their teeth at home. At Brush and Restore, we provide customized take-home whitening kits that are specifically designed to fit your teeth and meet your whitening needs, ensuring both safety and effectiveness.
The Appeal of Customized Take-Home Kits
Our take-home whitening kits offer a balance between convenience and professional oversight. The kits include custom-made whitening trays crafted from impressions of your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit and even application of the whitening gel. This personalized approach not only enhances the effectiveness of the treatment but also minimizes the risk of gum irritation and sensitivity compared to over-the-counter whitening products.
Maximizing and Maintaining Your Whitening Results
To get the most out of your take-home whitening treatment, it’s important to follow the provided instructions carefully. After completing the treatment, maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages will help prolong the results. Periodic touch-up treatments may also be recommended to maintain your bright smile.
How Take-Home Whitening Works
The process for take-home whitening is straightforward and user-friendly:
- Custom Tray Creation: We start by taking impressions of your teeth to create custom-fitted whitening trays.
- Whitening Gel Selection: Based on your whitening goals and sensitivity levels, we provide you with a professional-grade whitening gel.
- Application Instructions: We’ll guide you on how to apply the gel to the trays and the duration for wearing them, typically a few hours a day or overnight, depending on the gel’s concentration.
- Treatment Duration: The total duration of the treatment varies, but most patients achieve their desired results within two to four weeks.
Loose Teeth
If your teeth begin feeling a little loose, don’t worry; this is normal! Your braces must first loosen your teeth to move them into the right position. Once your teeth have been repositioned, they will no longer be loose.
Playing Sports
with Braces
Game, Set, Match — we have great news for athletes! You can still play sports even while undergoing orthodontic treatment! If you do play sports, it’s recommended that you wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth and your appliance. Let your doctor know if you need help finding the right mouthguard for the best protection.
In case of a sports emergency, be sure to immediately check your mouth and appliance for damage. If you notice any loose teeth or appliance damage, please contact our office right away. You can temporarily relieve the discomfort by applying wax or rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater.
Take Care Of Your Appliances
Damaged appliances can increase the length of your treatment process, so be sure to take care of all your appliances. Your teeth and jaw can only move into their correct positions if you consistently wear the rubber bands, headgear, retainer, or other appliances prescribed by your doctor.
Loose Wires And Bands
The wires and bands on your braces may come loose. If this happens, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can check and repair your appliance. If any piece of your appliance comes off, be sure to save it and bring it to the office with you.
You can temporarily fix the loose wire by using the back of a spoon or the eraser end of a pencil to carefully and gently push the wire back into place. If the loose wire is causing irritation to your lips or cheeks, put wax or a wet cotton ball over the broken wire to relieve the pain.
