The Science of Teeth Whitening

Research has shown that there are five elements to successful teeth whitening. The more of these factors included in a bleaching treatment, the greater the results that treatment will achieve. These five factors are:

Peroxide | Light | Pressure | Heat | Exposure

Peroxide This is the active ingredient in virtually all dental whitening products. It comes in many forms, but ultimately breaks down to hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide reacts with light and oxygen to form hydroxyl radicals, which penetrate the tooth structure, breaking down stains into progressively smaller particles as they go. So far, so good.

But peroxide is strong stuff, and can burn gums and cause tooth sensitivity. Typically, this is dealt with simply by diluting the peroxide; the lower the concentration of peroxide, the fewer the side effects, but the less effective it is at whitening teeth. The main reason for the side effects is that the pH (degree of acidity or alkalinity) of peroxide is too far away from neutral. Some tooth bleach manufacturers artificially lower the pH of their peroxide to make it more stable. But this increases its side effects. There is a better way.

Light The conversion of hydrogen peroxide to hydroxyl radicals can be accelerated and sustained by exposure to certain wavelengths of light, basically from about 400 to 560 nanometers. This is well within the safe visible light spectrum, far away from dangerous ultraviolet light. By exposing the teeth to light concentrated in this spectrum while the peroxide is on the teeth, the whitening action is accelerated and intensified, increasing the release of hydroxyl radicals, even the neutral pH peroxide.

Pressure Peroxide is of little value if it doesn’t get into the structure of the tooth. Mild pressure is required to accomplish this. Dentists apply pressure by molding a tray that is custom fit to your teeth. The peroxide gel is placed in the tray, and forced into place. SpaWhite accomplishes this action with a patented pressure pad that forms to the shpae of your teeth without the need for an expensive, custom tray.

Heat Peroxide activity increases with temperature, releasing more of its powerful hydroxyl radicals than would occur at lower temperatures.

Exposure The longer you expose your teeth to a combination of peroxide, light, heat and pressure the whiter your teeth will get — to a point. Peroxide eventually breaks down into water. It “wears out” rather quickly, and the more light and heat it is exposed to, the faster it wears out. So a balance must be struck between repetition of applications and exposure time.

How SpaWhite Delivers the Five Key Elements of Teeth Whitening

Peroxide Innovative, patented foam pads are saturated with specially formulated neutral pH peroxide gel. As the peroxide breaks down stains, the foam pads attract the stain material, so, when you remove the pads, you also remove the stains.
Light An advanced, spectrum-controlled light specifically developed for the Spa White process is positioned to apply its energy just outside of a clear lens positioned between the teeth. This unique, patented lens not only acts to guide the light into the peroxide, it also helps with delivering the next factor: Right: The DayLight 5k is a precision computerized light that emits “cool blue” light in the 430-470 nanometerspectrum for optimum SpaWhite results.
Pressure The pads are placed into pressure pockets in the lens, which squeezes them between the lens and teeth, forcing the peroxide gel into the tooth structure. Right: Spa White’s patented lens with upper whitening pad in place.
Heat The combination of the foam pads, pressure, and light streaming through the lens reacts with internal mouth temperature (that is where the doctor takes your temperature, after all) to raise the temperature of the peroxide.
Exposure For most people, one or two Spa White sessions of 15 minutes each is sufficient for an initial treatment.

SpaWhite Express

SpaWhite Express is perfect for clients who would like to brighten their smile with a quick, easy, and affordable treatment. This basic teeth whitening treatment takes only 15 minutes and will typically lighten your teeth by 2-4 shades.

SpaWhite Silver

SpaWhite Silver is appropriate for clients in need of additional whitening. It is a common choice for smokers, heavy coffee, tea, and/or red wine drinkers, or anyone whose teeth have been significantly darkened over the years.

SpaWhite Silver combines two Express treatments together one after the other. The first 15 minute cycle will remove surface stains. The second 15 minute cycle will penetrate deeper into the teeth for increased whitening. The treatment will typically light your teeth by 4-7 shades

The SpaWhite Silver treatment also includes a complimentary WhiteIce maintenance stick (a $69 value) to help maintain your new smile!

Keeping the Smile of a Lifetime with White Ice.

After you detail your car, you don’t expect it to stay clean, do you? The day-to-day environment is full of stuff that conspires to make your car look less than its best.

And so it is with teeth. You may have a beautiful smile after a whitening treatment, but how long will it last? Unfortunately there are many things like red wine, coffee, tea, tobacco, berries, beets that will darken your beautiful new smile.

Until now, the only way to really maintain a white smile is to continue to bleach your teeth using trays and syringes from the dentist. There needed to be a better alternative.

That’s why White Ice was developed. It packs real whitening power in the most convenient form ever — there’s even a built-in mirror so you can use your White Ice anywhere. It fits in your pocket or purse, and is as easy to use as lip balm. Simply remove the cap, give the base a twist and rub a thin glaze of White Ice on your teeth. It combines with the heat and moisture in your mouth to release its potent whitening agent. Then, after it’s done its job — usually about ten minutes — it disappears, leaving you with a bright smile and a minty-fresh breath.

The breakthrough that makes White Ice possible is the science of microencapsulation. White Science uses a patent-pending method that encapsulates real peroxide inside tiny cells. This keeps the peroxide in a stable and storable state until it combines with the moisture and heat of your mouth. Then the tiny cells break down at varying rates, causing a time-release of peroxide on your teeth. The special binder that holds the cells in stick form also holds the peroxide tight against the teeth, using the slight pressure needed to apply the stick to your teeth.

As handsome as it is, White Ice is much more than a piece of cosmetic jewelry. It’s got real peroxide in an effective yet safe concentration. Its clever design lets you supply pressure, your body supplies heat, and exposure comes from using White Ice as often as daily. So you’ve got four out the five elements needed for successful whitening. All that’s missing is light. And, with your new smile, there’s bound to be plenty of spotlights on you.
