As a result, after a one-hour treatment, your teeth get lightened by 4 shades or more. It is difficult to anticipate any exact outcome in the beginning of the procedure; it depends solely on your individual characteristics. Teeth with a yellowish shade or dull-colour teeth can me lightened most easily, whereas grayish-shaded and translucent are lightened less easily.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>The technique of photobleaching:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The treatment itself takes 60 minutes (three sessions each lasting 20 minutes), but you will have to stay in the chair with your mouth open for not less than 2 hours, as the procedure involves some preparations (thorough isolation of the oral cavity mucous membrane in order to prevent its burn); it will also take time to wait for the lamp to cool down and heat up again between the sessions. Before each session a new portion of gel is applied to teeth.
