For example, if we use the Power whitening strips, we’ll need to wear them for 60 minutes a day over a period of 7 to 14 days, whereas with the additional use of the LED accelerator, we’ll be able to wear them for just 15 to 30 minutes a day over a period of 7 to 14 days.

• Note that if your LED WaveLight Accelerator doesn’t seem to charge when you plug it in, you can try placing the charging wire the other way around, in other words over the mouthpiece and not towards the end of the handle.

Teeth whitening products are designed to whiten natural teeth. Stains on bridges, inlays, fillings, etc. may fade, but the filling will not whiten any further than its original shade.

The level of whitening varies from person to person, depending on the thickness of the enamel and dentin (the layer beneath the enamel). Generally speaking, it’s possible to achieve 8 to 14 shades whiter than the original colour of your teeth after treatment.

No. Thanks to the PAP Power formula, enamel is bleached by the action of active oxygen on the colorants stored in it. This process is called oxidation. It only affects the colour pigments, but not the enamel, which consists of about 96% of a mineral, inorganic hydroxide apatite substance. Therefore, nothing can be changed on the tooth itself, and therefore nothing can be damaged. This chemical fact is the reason why whitening is so effective and safe. The enamel is neither thinner nor weaker or negatively affected in any way.
