Tooth Whitening Kits – How They Have Progressed Through The Years
The 90′s brought us many things such as big hair, the grunge fashion style, alternative music and a plethora of tooth whitening kits. Everyone was bowled over by the idea that a white smile was just a plastic tray and some gel away. All the stars in Hollywood had sparkling grins, so why couldn’t the rest of the world? That decade is over, but the fundamentals of teeth whitening procedures have evolved away from those molded cups and gels. When you consider the difference between bulky mouth trays versus a strip, you will not long for the good old days of big hair and grunge fashion.
The first commercial teeth whitening system was a plastic cup designed to be molded to your teeth and a whitening gel that would fill the cup. You first had to boil the cup and then shape it specifically to your mouth. Each night at bedtime, you would fill the cup with the proper amount of gel and then you would sleep with the contraption in your mouth. The gel would do the work while you slept. Simply wake up and take the pieces out. Sounds really easy, right?
Chemistry and science proved to be the downfall of the early tooth whitening kits. There was no scientific reason to wear the mold and gel all night. The bleaching gel lost its effectiveness after an hour or so and could actually cause throat irritation. The effects of the complicated kits were not worth the risk of permanent damage to the teeth, gums and throat.
Scientists, after making the discovery that the primary ingredient in the gel lost its effectiveness after an hour, devised different kits that meant the user would wear them for a less amount of time. Today’s kits contain a higher concentration of the whitening agent used in tooth bleaching. Most kits are now strips that the user wears for a very short amount of time, either in the morning or the evening.
Tooth whitening kits have certainly come a long way. The 90′s big hair styles are gone and so are the complicated teeth whitening systems that took all night to work. Even the kits have dropped dramatically in price. Whitening strips combined with effective toothpaste are now the commonly found items in consumers’ bathroom cabinets. They take less time and are less messy. The one downside that still remains is that awful tasting gel. Maybe if it were cookie flavored more people would have whiter teeth.
