Teeth whitening at home can be comfortable, gentle and at the same time very effective if it is carried out under the supervision of a dentist. One of the most effective and safest options is the use of individual trays into which a professional whitening gel is applied. It is selected separately for each patient, taking into account the condition of the enamel, the level of sensitivity and the desired result.
The tray is fabricated based on precise impressions or digital 3D scanning, therefore it fits tightly to the teeth and ensures correct distribution of the gel. Thanks to this, the lightening of the enamel occurs evenly and provides the expected result.
If you want to make trays for teeth whitening, make an appointment with a dentist for a consultation — the doctor will select the optimal whitening option specifically for you.
Individual whitening trays are soft transparent overlays on the teeth, made specifically for each patient. Their shape is created from precise impressions or digital 3D scanning, so the trays replicate the anatomy of the dental arches and ensure comfortable use.
The main role of the tray is to hold the professional whitening gel in the required concentration and provide its stable contact with the enamel. The gel contains active ingredients that penetrate into the superficial layers of the enamel and break down pigmented molecules. Thanks to this, the enamel gradually becomes lighter, while the natural structure of the tooth is not damaged. Such teeth whitening with trays is a gentle and controlled way to improve the shade of the smile.
Unlike universal trays, individual models are created based on impressions or 3D scanning data, therefore they:

Whitening proceeds gently, without excessive impact on the enamel.

The doctor determines the concentration of the gel and the duration of the course, which makes the process predictable.
Whitening trays for teeth are suitable for patients who want to gently improve
the shade of the enamel and obtain a predictable result.
This method is recommended in cases of:
enamel darkening associated with the consumption of coffee, tea, red wine or tobacco;
age-related yellowing or loss of the natural brightness of the enamel;
uneven shade or the desire to gently lighten naturally darker teeth;
the need to maintain the result of professional whitening performed in the clinic.
The fabrication of an individual tray consists of several consecutive stages.
The doctor examines the teeth and gums, assesses the condition of the enamel and the level of sensitivity. This is necessary to select a safe concentration of the whitening gel and determine the duration of the course.
Next, an accurate model of the dental arches is created. For this, traditional impression materials or digital scanning are used — both methods make it possible to obtain a maximally accurate shape for the future overlay.
Based on the data obtained, a soft transparent overlay is manufactured that repeats the anatomy of the teeth. Thanks to its precise shape, it is comfortable to use and ensures proper contact of the gel with the enamel.
The patient receives the finished tray and a set of professional gel. The doctor explains how to apply the product, how long to wear the tray and how to care for it during the course. Correct implementation of the recommendations ensures even and natural lightening of the enamel.
In order for whitening to be safe, it is sometimes recommended to postpone it until certain conditions are resolved. Temporary contraindications include untreated caries or enamel damage, gum diseases in the acute phase, pronounced tooth sensitivity.
After treatment or stabilisation of these conditions, the dentist selects the optimal whitening option.
Proper use of individual trays provides safe and even lightening of the enamel. The dentist selects the regimen of application for each patient individually, but there are general recommendations that should be followed.
Following these simple rules helps to obtain an even whitening result and keep the tray in excellent condition for a long time.
