Step 1: Impressions It is vital that a good impression is taken. A good impression determines if your trays will fit right and snug. Accurate impressions are taken by experienced professionals to avoid any discomfort. Step 2: Model The models are poured within minutes of taking the impression to eliminate distortions. So called "mail order" tooth whitening systems take 10-15 days to create these models and distortions can form during this delay. Step 3: Mouthpiece The mouthpiece is vacuum molded to the model and trimmed for a proper fit. We then have you test out the mouthpiece while in our office so that any necessary adjustments can be made. Step 4: Take Home Kit The take home kit is custom selected by Dr. Schwan for your specific needs. Difficult stains may need a higher concentration of Carbamide Peroxide to yield better results. Step 5: Application The application is a simple process that Dr. Schwan will review with you. Instructions are customized for you and any questions you have will be answered at the time of your appointment. Step 6: Results Within a few days of starting your program, you should notice whiter teeth. Normal treatment takes about two weeks, while difficult stains will take longer.
