The Science Behind LED Teeth Whitening: How It Works
LED teeth whitening has become one of the most popular and effective methods for achieving a bright, white smile. At New Age Spa, we use advanced hydrogen peroxide gel paired with LED blue light technology to deliver safe, fast, and visible results in just 45 minutes. But how does this innovative treatment work? Let’s explore the science behind LED teeth whitening and why it’s such a powerful solution for stained or discolored teeth.
Understanding Teeth Stains and Discoloration
To understand how LED teeth whitening works, it’s essential to know what causes tooth discoloration. There are two main types of stains:
1. Extrinsic Stains
These are surface-level stains caused by external factors such as coffee, tea, wine, smoking, and poor oral hygiene. These stains build up on the enamel and are often the easiest to remove.
2. Intrinsic Stains
Intrinsic stains are deeper discolorations within the tooth structure, often caused by aging, medication, or excessive fluoride exposure. These stains are more challenging to treat but can still be effectively targeted with professional whitening solutions.
The Role of Hydrogen Peroxide Gel
The whitening process starts with the application of a hydrogen peroxide-based gel. This gel acts as the active ingredient, breaking down the molecular bonds of stains and discoloration.
How Hydrogen Peroxide Works:
- The gel penetrates the enamel to reach stains embedded within the tooth structure.
- It releases oxygen molecules, which react with stain particles to break them apart.
- This oxidation process effectively removes stains, leaving your teeth visibly whiter.
How LED Blue Light Enhances the Process
While hydrogen peroxide gel is the primary whitening agent, the LED blue light plays a crucial role in speeding up and enhancing the process.
Why Blue Light?
- Wavelength Efficiency: The blue light emits a specific wavelength that activates the hydrogen peroxide gel.
- Faster Oxidation: It accelerates the chemical reaction, allowing the gel to break down stains more efficiently.
- Even Whitening: The light ensures uniform activation across all teeth for consistent results.
