Colgate optic white pro series led device
An LED whitening device is used with a peroxide gel, and its effects depend on the gel, fit, exposure, and your teeth.
The short answer
The LED device is an accessory used with whitening gel; the gel performs most of the chemical whitening, while the device delivers light according to the product instructions.
How does the mouthpiece position light near the teeth?
The mouthpiece positions a light source near gel-coated teeth. Whitening changes chromogenic molecules within enamel and dentin, but fillings, crowns, veneers, and other restorations do not bleach like natural tooth structure.
What should you check before using this LED device?
Check the exact gel, mouthpiece, session duration, charging method, and cleaning instructions for your model. Keep gel off the gums, wipe away excess, and stop use if marked sensitivity or soft-tissue irritation develops.
When should teeth and gums be examined before whitening?
Arrange an examination before whitening if you have untreated decay, cracked teeth, gum recession, ulcers, or unexplained sensitivity. A dentist should assess persistent pain, burns, or uneven colour after use.
What should you ask about enamel, gums, and restorations?
Ask whether your enamel, gums, restorations, and existing stains are suitable for whitening. Ask which peroxide concentration and application time fit your teeth, and how restoration colour will be managed.
Frequently asked questions
Does the LED whiten teeth by itself?
The light is used with whitening gel; it is not a substitute for the gel or for a dental assessment.
Why are my teeth uneven after whitening?
Natural teeth, fillings, and crowns can respond differently, and pre-existing stains may not be uniform.
