Home Teeth Whitening

Váš krásný úsměv offers professional home teeth whitening using custom-fabricated bleaching trays and a take-home whitening gel kit. Custom trays are made from impressions or digital scans of the patient's teeth to ensure even gel distribution and gum protection. The at-home method delivers gradual, controlled whitening over 10–14 nights and is a popular complement to orthodontic treatment — many patients whiten after completing aligner treatment when they have achieved their desired tooth alignment.

Home teeth whitening using custom trays and professional-strength carbamide or hydrogen peroxide gel is the most effective and dentist-controlled whitening method available outside of the surgery chair. At Váš krásný úsměv, the home whitening kit covers both arches and uses custom-made trays for precise, even gel delivery. **How it works:** - Impressions or digital scans of upper and lower arches taken at the clinic - Custom thermoplastic bleaching trays fabricated in the lab — a precise fit prevents gel from contacting the gums, minimising sensitivity - Professional whitening gel (typically 10–16% carbamide peroxide for home use) dispensed to the trays - Patient applies trays at home nightly (or as directed) for 30–60 minutes per session, over 10–14 nights - The peroxide active releases nascent oxygen that penetrates tooth enamel and dentine, oxidising the chromogenic (colour-bearing) molecules in the tooth structure, lightening them **Results:** Most patients achieve 2–8 shades lighter depending on baseline tooth colour, the nature of intrinsic staining, and compliance with the protocol. Tetracycline staining and fluorosis are less responsive and should be discussed at consultation. **Post-orthodontic whitening:** Whitening after the completion of clear aligner treatment is a popular combination — patients straighten first (aligners), then whiten, for a complete smile transformation. **Sensitivity:** Some patients experience mild tooth sensitivity during the whitening course, particularly to cold. This is temporary and resolves within 24–48 hours of stopping treatment. Using sensitive toothpaste during the whitening period reduces this effect.
