Your average home based tooth whitening system will use a tooth bleaching tray to help aid the tooth bleaching process. The tray is custom made to fit your teeth in order to ensure that the bleaching gel penetrates evenly into your teeth. Generally you wear the tray overnight for anywhere between 3 nights and a week in order to get full results. You cannot use a simple mouthguard to whiten your teeth. In some instances an aligner tray for lingual braces like Invisalign can be used as a whitening tray.
A tooth bleaching tray needs to be custom made. That is why most of these systems are sold through your local dentists office. Your cosmetic dentist can take impressions of your mouth and create the tray from those. Some of these system can be bought over the internet and provide a kit for making impressions yourself. You then send these impressions back to the company and they send you the tray in the mail. Unfortunately, taking impressions for your mouth can be more difficult than it sounds and it is often a good idea to have your dentist do it.
Professional, office-based, whitening systems do not use a tooth bleaching tray to help whiten teeth. These systems will give a patient the most dramatic results in the shortest period of time. Instead of a tooth whitening tray these systems use a whitening lamp to activate a gel placed on the teeth. Zoom 2 is arguably the best system out there right now. The original Zoom! system became the most popular system in the United States because of how good it was but Zoom 2 is even better. Zoom2 can whiten teeth an average of 8 shades in just 45 minutes and it leaves teeth less sensitive than any other professional system in use.
