TEETH WHITENING

What type of tooth whitener is used with the Laser teeth whitening system?
The Laser teeth whitening system uses a hydrogen peroxide-based bleaching gel. This whitener comes prepackaged and ready to use. It has a 37% hydrogen peroxide concentration and a pH of around 7.
What kind of laser is used with the teeth whitening process?
The Laser teeth whitening system requires the use of their T diode laser. As you might expect, the emission spectrum of this light unit is very precise. Its emissions lie in the 798 to 815nm range which is part of the near infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The requirement that this laser must be used implies that the company believes that emissions of this specific wavelength "photo-activate" the Teeth whitener and therefore increases the efficiency of the whitening process.
Does the laser produce has heating effect on the teeth being whitened?
Since the emissions of the t laser lie in the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum there certainly could be concern that a heating effect might be produced. As it turns out however, during the teeth whitening process a heating effect is avoided because the laser is only exposed to a few teeth at a time and even then only briefly (about 15 seconds). During the entire whitening process (about 24 minutes) it is likely that each tooth will only receive about 2 to 4 minutes of exposure to the laser's output.
How long does it take your dentist to perform a Laser teeth whitening treatment?
Laser teeth whitening treatments usually take less than an hour from start to finish. Each bleaching session is broken down into two individual applications of the teeth whitener, with the duration of the first application being 16 minutes and the second 8 minutes. This means that the cumulative exposure of the patient's teeth to the teeth whitening gel is 24 minutes. Pre and post treatment preparations and activities round the total treatment time up to about an hour or slightly less.
Does the Laser teeth whitening system make use of at-home teeth whitening treatments?
Continued bleaching with an at-home teeth whitening product after the completion of the Laser treatment is an option left up to the discretion of the dentist and the patient but is not a formal part of the system's protocol.
What are the individual steps of the Laser teeth whitening system?
The procedure your dentist follows when performing Laser teeth whitening system treatments does not vary greatly from those general steps we illustrate and describe for the typical professional teeth whitening process. Although in, a fashion different from all of the other professional teeth whitening systems, the system employs the use of a laser as the bleaching light.
Should you choose the professional teeth whitening system?This is a question that should be directed to the dentist performing the whitening treatment. In regards to the system itself, all whitening systems should be able to provide results similar in nature to those achieved with other professional teeth whitening systems. One advantage of the other system is that the treatment time generally runs less than an hour whereas most other systems require 60 minutes or more.

ORTHODONTICS (Dental Braces)

Years ago, dental braces were used only for pre-teens and teens having problems with their bite (malocclusion). Today, orthodontic treatments are not only for pre-teens and teens, but for adults as well.

Orthodontic treatment restores function and esthetics for a beautiful smile.

Close to 40% of all orthodontic patients in the Philippines are adults. Despite this growing trend towards adult orthodontics, it pays to start orthodontic treatment early for maximum effectiveness. The International Orthodontic Association recommends that children receive an orthodontic evaluation by age seven.

The Restorative and Esthetic Nature of Orthodontics.

Since malocclusion may interfere with eating and speaking, it is usually considered a restorative issue. Although, because a malocclusion may prevent the development of a beautiful, well-aligned smile or facial jaw lines, it may also be classified as an esthetic issue and categorized as cosmetic dentistry.

No matter what your age, orthodontics can protect your bite (occlusion), maximize your teeth's effectiveness in performing their functions and create a well-aligned smile. Today’s orthodontics involves repositioning of the teeth and underlying roots, providing better support for the crown of the tooth. Orthodontic treatment is now associated with the benefits of greater esthetic appeal, increased comfort and reduced treatment time.

Orthodontic treatment can also rejuvenate your facial appearance by reshaping the jaw, neck and lips, especially when combined with maxillofacial surgical procedures. In addition, well-aligned teeth make oral hygiene easier to maintain.
