The best option for at home teeth whitening is the use of custom fitted mouth trays that have been cast from molds of your upper and lower teeth arches. It is far from the cheapest option, though, because usually it’s your dentist having those trays made for you. People that choose this teeth whitening option then purchase the bleaching gel that goes in the tray and acts to whiten your teeth when you affix those trays to your teeth.
It’s a proven method for teeth whitening. The at-home teeth whitening kits that use the mouth tray method typically use one-size-fits-all trays, which generally don’t fit anybody very well. The bleaching action that these trays provide is often unsatisfactory.
Now there’s an option for mouth trays that are molded to fit your teeth and that isn’t produced in a professional teeth whitening process. The Movie Star Look teeth whitening system provides trays that you are instructed to dip in boiling water for five seconds and then put in your mouth and bite down. Apparently the boiling water activates some sort of molding material that then takes the shape of your dental arch when you put it in place while hot. When it cools, you have a mouth tray that’s shaped to your dental pattern.
That solves the problem of obtaining an expensive tray from your dentist. The Movie Star Look kit comes with a bleaching gel that contains 22% carbamide peroxide, the usual bleaching product for home kits. It has about one third of the bleaching power of hydrogen peroxide, the product that is used in professional teeth whitening procedures. That criticism is one that applies to all over the counter, in-home teeth whitening products however. High levels of hydrogen peroxide can do damage when they are not handled by a professional.
Another potential flaw in the product is the free trial offer. There are a number of teeth whitening products being marketed on the Web today that offer free trials and then start billing credit cards monthly for product shipments that haven’t been ordered. If the Movie Star Look teeth whitening system looks good to you, be sure and read the fine print during the ordering process.
