iWhite Light Activated Teeth Whitening Kit
A new concept in OTC take home teeth whitening products has been introduced in the form of iWhite Light Activated Teeth Whitening Kits. This system introduces light technology in a compact mouthpiece. The iWhite kit is made by Remedent which is a Belgium-based company.
The iWhite Light Activated Teeth Whitening Kit uses iWhite foam strips that are placed in the mouthpiece for each bleaching session. The bleaching agent is a gel that contains 6% Hydrogen Peroxide. The gel is activated by a light that is embedded in the iWhite tray that is powered by a 3-volt battery. The bluish light pulses the light into the whitening foam strips which catalyses the whitening reaction, speeding up the whitening process.
Treatment time is twenty minutes and it is recommended to follow a 5 day treatment. The whitening foam strips are discarded after each whitening session.
Each iWhite Light Activated Teeth Whitening Kit contains a 3-volt light activated tray and 10 disposable whitening foam strips.
There have been some reviews in about iWhite and those that have used it have expressed their satisfaction with the product finding that it has given good whitening results after only 1 or 2 treatments. There have only been a minority of people who have claimed that the product did not work at all, but there is always going to be a percentage who do not see a benefit.
Sensitivity does not seem to be an issue but because the product contains Hydrogen Peroxide gum inflammation can be an issue if the gel makes contact with the more sensitive parts of the mouth.
Overall these appear to be worthwhile teeth bleaching kits that are worth consideration. The price is around the $40 mark for a 5 day whitening treatment.
