Q: How does Twilight Teeth work?
A: 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 accelerated by 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. Twilight Teeth has addressed two specific problems that occur with other teeth whitening systems:
PROBLEM - FIT. That's right, you wouldn't think about it but, even with a professional tray made for your mouth, uneven distribution of the bleaching gel is likely. How? Even the slightest pressure variance between the tooth surface and the tray caused by biting too hard or even being too relaxed, can cause the gel to be displaced too thin to be effective.
SOLUTION - A universal mouthpiece that does not have contact with the tooth's surface yet allows the UV light / heat direct access to the surface and the heat activated gel.
BENEFIT -A more uniform result. Lower cost because it's universal. Time/money saver.
PROBLEM - GEL. Some are too low of a percentage of carbamide solution to be effective. Some are not thick enough to stay in place, and some have a undesirable taste.
SOLUTION - A thick, mint flavor, heat activated, 25% carbamide peroxide (industry leading) whitening gel.
BENEFIT - A system designed for the tanning industry. Utilizing the unique environment of tanning sessions. Offering "The Original Tanning System for the Tanning Industry."
Major difference: The enormous savings of money by not going to the dentist to have the trays made or spending the time required from other systems. Let's face it you have already allocated your time for tanning why not do two things at the same time. These savings can literally mean hundreds of dollars.
Q: How long is the process?
A: The whitening process can be achieved through regular tanning sessions, and most people begin to see results within a few sessions. Twilight Teeth is designed to use in 10 sessions, ideally every other day. It can, however, be used every time you tan, as long as there is no irritation and you can stand the tan. It is important to note that Twilight Teeth can be used up to once a day. The system is also designed to be used between 8 and 30 minutes. If you are tanning in the 8 to 12 minute range, it would be assumed you are using a high-pressure bed. Otherwise, regular beds (low pressure) will be just as effective but may take up to 25 minutes. Continue the process until you achieve the desired level of whitening. After initial treatment, most people do touch ups twice or so a month.
Q: Does the process work on dental restoration?
A: No. The Twilight Teeth 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.
Q: Will Teeth Whitening or Twilight Teeth harm the teeth?
A: No. Research continues with regard to the tooth bleaching procedure. However, research data to date shows that there is no apparent risk to the teeth.
Q: Will Teeth Whitening or Twilight Teeth hurt the soft tissue?
A: People with periodontal disease (gum disease), or excessive caries (cavities), should be treated for these conditions prior to undergoing the vital tooth bleaching procedure or using Twilight Teeth. The active ingredient in the bleaching gel itself is safe, but if sensitivity to the soft tissue does occur it typically flags an existing problem not normally associated with the bleaching product itself, but rather with the dental or oral health condition of the person using the product.
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: 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
