BriteSmile is the name of a patented system for teeth whitening while in your dentist’s office. The BriteSmile Teeth Whitening System combines the bleaching effect of a peroxide gel with the accelerating effects of a blue light to help whiten your teeth in one visit to your dentist.

The BriteSmile Teeth Whitening System is advertised as being “safe and gentle.” What this means is that there is no scraping of your teeth involved. Nor is there any heat applied. And, unlike some systems that use laser-light, the BriteSmile system uses a “gentle blue light” that speeds up the whitening process started by the gel that is applied to your teeth.

The advertised benefits of the BriteSmile Teeth Whitening System are that the whole thing takes approximately one hour and lasts for a long time.

The BriteSmile Teeth Whitening System has been clinically tested and found to be safe for the soft tissues in your mouth including your gums. It is also safe for the enamel of your teeth. The light is not hot, nor does it let off ultraviolet (UV) rays. The system is designed to shine on, and whiten, all the teeth in your smile – top and bottom – uniformly.

The BriteSmile Teeth Whitening gel is relatively mild compared to some other gels on the market. BriteSmile’s gel has a concentration of 15% peroxide (compared to 35%-50% concentration in other systems). This means that the whitening process is gentler and less prone to irritation. The pH value (a measure of acidity) of the gel is nearly neutral which also adds to the comfort factor. Lastly, the gel contains ingredients that actually keep your teeth from dehydrating.

Conclusion

If you want to whiten your teeth with a minimum of time and discomfort, the BriteSmile Teeth Whitening System might be for you.
