Why didn't my teeth whitening work before?

Why didn't my teeth whitening work before?

Many factors may have come into why your teeth whitening didn't work as well as you hoped.

  • The right product and concentration, and the proper method and duration, weren't chosen for your particular needs.
  • Your trays were leaking, allowing the whitening product to leak out or saliva leak in and break down the product. Saliva actually breaks down your whitening product.
  • The product degraded and was compromised by the conditions it was transported or stored in. By virtue of being a product designed to break down to work, whitening products are notoriously unstable.
  • The product is expired.
  • The product is too thick to be available to get into the tooth's microstructure.
  • Your teeth have absorbed more organic long-chain stains, and it's time to whiten with a new method.
