Q: Why Twilight Teeth? A: Twilight Teeth pioneered teeth whitening
in the indoor tanning industry. We are the leaders in innovation for this type
of product and although we have been imitated by other companies no other teeth
whitening system offers you the most comprehensive teeth whitening system in or
out of the tanning industry except of course the expensive In office treatments
offered by your dentist. Whether you are using our customer support program or
one of our many ways to educate your tanning customer on the benefits of whitening
your teeth while they tan we believe Twilight Teeth is the best system you can
offer in your tanning salon today . Q: Can I share my Twilight Teeth? A:
It is not recommended however, Twilight Teeth has an ingredient (alcohol) that
naturally disinfects the brush every time it is placed in the container.
Q:
Can I use Twilight Teeth outside of the tanning bed? A: YES, of course
your best results will come from the accelerated properties of the U.V. light.
Twilight Teeth can be used outside the tanning bed. You will find that it works
as a great touch up in between tanning sessions. Although Twilight Teeth was designed
to be used during the tanning session, clients have reported that they have a
great success using Twilight Teeth as a touchup between tans.
Q:
Just how strong is the new Twilight Teeth Platinum 25? A: The strongest
money can buy, (other than in office visits) the formula for Platinum 25 utilizes
a 25% concentration of whitening agents. Your dentist will affirm that this formula
is as strong and even stronger than they supply with at home kits. Plus, Twilight
Teeth employs special polymers to dry and adhere to teeth during the tanning session
and whiten throughout the day long after you have left the salon.
Q:
I have sensitive teeth and have found that most systems leave me with pain after
I use them. Will Twilight Teeth leave me in pain? A: Twilight Teeth is
the first to utilize a system that doesn't submerge your teeth (virtually over
exposing the tooth's surface) in a tray. Twilight Teeth utilizes a polymer-based
system that adheres to where you apply it and starts whitening immediately during
tanning session. Although our formula is stronger than over the counter systems
it is the PATENTED U.V. TEETH WHITENING technology that reduces
the sensitivity down to virtually undetectable, very suitable for tanners with
even the most sensitive teeth and backed by a money-back guarantee. It is a known
fact most sensitivity comes from a whitening product that is applied either to
the back of the tooth's surface and/or the biting/grinding surface of the teeth.
This is where your top teeth meet your bottom teeth and the surface is constantly
ground down making it the most susceptible to sensitivity. Twilight Teeth feels
that by avoiding these areas, with our brush-on application, not only allows people
with sensitive teeth to use our teeth whitener but, does so without over applying
to areas that are not needed.
Q: Why don't over-the-counter systems
offer a 25% concentration of whitener? A: One reason is shelf life. Many
of the whitening products take months to make to the shelves and by offering a
lower concentration of active ingredient they increase the shelf life to, in some
cases, several years. It is common for a consumer to buy a product that is over
a year old. Twilight Teeth has an 18-month shelf life and guarantees freshness
to the vendor so you know you are using the strongest and freshest teeth whitening
system available today. Another reason is how they apply the teeth whiting
gel. Most systems are VERY crude in their design. They require messy amount of
gel to be placed in a tray and then squished into place only to ooze gel throughout
the mouth and all over the gums and soft tissue. Even the expensive molded teeth
trays made by a dentist can ooze undesired amounts of gel if the amount is too
great or the customer bites down too hard on the apparatus. Most teeth whitener
manufacturers keep their active ingredient down to a minimum (in some cases as
little as 1.5%) so the potential for customer dissatisfaction due to sensitivity
is reduced. The negative side to this is that most over the counter whitening
systems rarely contain enough solution to meet expectations of the today's customer.
Q:
I have heard that the mouth contains the highest level of bacteria yet the applicator
goes right back in the bottle after I have completed the application. Is this
sanitary? A: YES, Twilight Teeth contains a drying agent (alcohol) that
also acts as a disinfectant.
Q: How do I care and store my Twilight
Teeth? A: You can wash the mouthpiece in warm soapy water and store in
cool dry place away from excessive heat. Make sure applicator and gel is not exposed
to heat, such as being left in a car or exposed to direct sunlight. Doing so can
cause the product to be less effective.
Q: Does Tooth Bleaching really
work? A: Yes. Almost all "Natural" teeth respond to the process.
However, there are some individuals whose teeth just do not respond to any bleaching
product. Research has not figured out exactly why, but there appears to be about
a 2 to 3 percent non-success rate. This is thought to be due to a chemical/mineral
structural difference in the teeth. Rest assured that if you or your customers
fall in this 2-3% you can rely on Twilight Teeth for a full refund if not satisfied.
Q:
How many ways are there to lighten or bleach teeth? A: There are several
ways to lighten or bleach teeth. Here are three of the most popular: In-Dental-Office
Procedure: Tooth bleaching using a high percent age of approximately 35% Hydrogen
Peroxide. This is only done in the dental office environment. This procedure is
also used in conjunction with heat or light to accelerate the whitening results.
In-Home Process: Tooth bleaching using a percentage of approximately 10% to 12%
carbamide peroxide. A patient is provided bleaching trays for both their upper
and lower arches. They are then required to apply the bleaching gel to the trays
and wear them for a prescribed duration and frequency. Combination In-Office/In-Home
Procedure: Some Dental Professionals use a combination of both In-Office and In-Home
Procedure. This is done to basically use the "Power Bleaching" (name
given to the In-Office Procedure) to show the patient a rapid change in tooth
shade. The dentist then uses the In-Home Process to do the main whitening process.
It is important to note that both procedures offered by a dentist, and that yield
the most optimum results, use carbamide peroxide as the active bleaching agent.
Q: How does Twilight Teeth work? A: The surface of your teeth
contains millions of microscopic pores. Over time, organic compounds from food,
beverages, and tobacco settle into these pores and cause discoloration of the
tooth enamel. Twilight Teeth removes these stains with a powerful teeth-whitening
process. The active ingredient in the system is carbamide peroxide, the same active
ingredient used in professional dental offices nationwide. The whitening gel penetrates
the pores in the surface of the teeth and removes stains by the process of oxidation.
Because carbamide peroxide is accelerated by heat, the Twilight Teeth mouthpiece
works to allow the UV light which already bleaches the teeth to heat and activate
the whitening gel creating an easier, faster process for whitening teeth. Twilight
Teeth has addressed two specific problems that occur with other teeth whitening
systems:
PROBLEM - FIT. That's right, you wouldn't think about it but,
even with a professional tray made for your mouth, uneven distribution of the
bleaching gel is likely. How? Even the slightest pressure variance between the
tooth surface and the tray caused by biting too hard or even being too relaxed,
can cause the gel to be displaced too thin to be effective. SOLUTION - A universal
mouthpiece that does not have contact with the tooth's surface yet allows the
UV light / heat direct access to the surface and the heat activated gel. BENEFIT
-A more uniform result. Lower cost because it's universal. Time/money saver.
PROBLEM
- GEL. Some are too low of a percentage of carbamide solution to be effective.
Some are not thick enough to stay in place, and some have a undesirable taste. SOLUTION
- A thick, mint flavor, heat activated, 25% carbamide peroxide (industry leading)
whitening gel. BENEFIT - A system designed for the tanning industry. Utilizing
the unique environment of tanning sessions. Offering "The Original Tanning
System for the Tanning Industry." Major difference: The enormous savings
of money by not going to the dentist to have the trays made or spending the time
required from other systems. Let's face it you have already allocated your time
for tanning why not do two things at the same time. These savings can literally
mean hundreds of dollars.
Q: How long is the process? A: The
whitening process can be achieved through regular tanning sessions, and most people
begin to see results within a few sessions. Twilight Teeth is designed to use
in 10 sessions, ideally every other day. It can, however, be used every time you
tan, as long as there is no irritation and you can stand the tan. It is important
to note that Twilight Teeth can be used up to once a day. The system is also designed
to be used between 8 and 30 minutes. If you are tanning in the 8 to 12 minute
range, it would be assumed you are using a high-pressure bed. Otherwise, regular
beds (low pressure) will be just as effective but may take up to 25 minutes. Continue
the process until you achieve the desired level of whitening. After initial treatment,
most people do touch ups twice or so a month.
Q: Does the process work
on dental restoration? A: No. The Twilight Teeth was developed specifically
to whiten natural tooth enamel. Therefore, this system will not whiten or alter
any dental restoration such as fillings, crowns, veneers, bonding, or bridgework.
Q:
Will Teeth Whitening or Twilight Teeth harm the teeth? A: No. Research
continues with regard to the tooth bleaching procedure. However, research data
to date shows that there is no apparent risk to the teeth.
Q: Will Teeth
Whitening or Twilight Teeth hurt the soft tissue? A: People with periodontal
disease (gum disease), or excessive caries (cavities), should be treated for these
conditions prior to undergoing the vital tooth bleaching procedure or using Twilight
Teeth. The active ingredient in the bleaching gel itself is safe, but if sensitivity
to the soft tissue does occur it typically flags an existing problem not normally
associated with the bleaching product itself, but rather with the dental or oral
health condition of the person using the product.
Q: Are there any side
effects? A: A small percentage of users experience increased sensitivity
to cold, or minor gum irritation. These symptoms will subside if the user stops
the process for a few days. The Twilight Teeth dental whitening gel contains natural
mint oil for a pleasant flavor, and is pH balanced to reduce, and in most cases
eliminate any sensitivity that might be experienced.
Q: What happens
if the bleaching gel or Twilight Teeth is ingested? A: The Twilight Teeth
formula is nontoxic. However, it is like anything else, "too much of anything
is not good". In short, a person should avoid swallowing when possible. The
new Twilight Teeth Platinum is a polymer base gel that dries quickly, and when
used properly, there should not be enough gel to swallow.
Q: How long
will the results last? A: Teeth whitened with Twilight Teeth will stay
noticeably whiter for up to 6 months, however, periodic "touch ups"
should be performed to keep your smile its brightest. Your unique combination
of age, foods, beverages, smoking habits and tooth structure will influence the
long-term results.
Q: Which bleaching agent is better? A: Virtually
all dentists that do tooth bleaching use a carbamide based bleaching gel. They
prefer this because it is more stable, and has been proven to yield optimum results.
The fact is it is easier to control the percentage of actual peroxide using carbamide
than using hydrogen peroxide. The answer is that bleaching gels that use carbamide
peroxide as the active ingredient are the best.
Q: What about "Laser
Whitening"? A: "Laser" or "high intensity light"
bleaching consists of using a very strong whitening solution (usually 25% to 35%
whitening agent) and "activating" the solution with a laser or other
high intensity light. Because this solution is so concentrated this procedure
must be undertaken in the dental office. This procedure can take up to three dental
office visits or more, and may cost over $1,000. As with any professional dental
whitening system, follow up treatments will be needed to insure your teeth stay
vibrant and white.
Q: Why is there such a big difference in price and
strength of gel between some over-the-counter products at the store, Twilight
Teeth, and the cost to have the dentist perform the procedure? A: In simple
terms, "You Get What You Pay For". In more detail terms, the facts are
as follows: 1. Most bleaching products sold in stores uses a smaller percentage
of carbamide peroxide, which is understandably less effective in actual teeth
whitening. The percentage is so low mainly because it is nearly impossible to
regulate the use of the gel by the consumer. If a higher concentration is used
incorrectly, it may cause sensitivity and in some cases harm to the soft tissue.
2. The dentist uses high quality bleaching product (SAME AS Twilight Teeth)
specially produced for its bleaching characteristic and safety. The dentist will
also provide supervision and help to monitor your bleaching progress. In some
cases, the dentist will also fabricate a custom fitted bleaching tray for both
arches being treated. However, when the teeth are submerged in trays, there is
more likelihood of sensitivity to the tips of teeth and soft tissue (gums). 3.
Twilight Teeth has a 25% carbamide peroxide, which is regulated by the amount
of time you are tanning in the tanning bed. It is accelerated by the heat and
UV light. It is also only applied to the surface of your smile teeth and therefore,
the teeth and gums are not submerged in any chemicals.
Q: Who can benefit
from Twilight Teeth? A: Anyone from 15 to 100 who wants a more confident,
vibrant smile. For those who are pregnant, considering getting pregnant or lactating,
it is recommended you contact your physician before using Twilight Teeth.
Tooth Whitening Tips: A. Only natural teeth will lighten. B.
Some stains respond better than others. Stains caused by tea, coffee, smoking,
certain foods, and age stains respond more quickly. C: If soft tissue (gums)
or tooth sensitivity occur, cease using the product. These can be transient side
effects and will typically subside within 1 - 3 days. If they do not, it may signify
an unrelated problem and you should consult your dentist. It is important to put
the mouthpiece in first, then apply the gel so as not to apply gel directly to
ANY soft tissue. D: Individuals with gingivitis, bleeding gums, or cavity-laden
teeth should not use this product and should consult a dentist to ensure that
optimum dental and oral heath is maintained. E. Keep Twilight Teeth and all
medicines away from children. F. Keep out of direct sunlight and store in a
cool dry place. G. Do not wear the mouthpiece while sleeping.
