The 90s brought us many things like big hair, the fashion style grunge, alternative music and a plethora of teeth whitening kits. Everyone was shocked by the idea that a white smile was just a plastic container and a little jelly there.
All the Hollywood stars were sparkling grins, so why not the rest of the world? This decade is over, but the fundamentals of teeth whitening procedures have evolved away from these molded cups and gels. When one considers the large difference between the gutters from a band, you will not be long for the good old days of big hair and fashion grunge.
The first commercial teeth whitening system is a plastic cup designed to be molded to your teeth and a whitening gel that would fill the cup. You first have to boil the cup and train specifically for your mouth.
Every night at bedtime, you fill the cup with the right amount of gel and then you sleep with the machine in your mouth. The gel would do the work while you sleep. Just wake up and take the pieces out. Sounds really easy, right?
The real problem, besides the hassle of molding plastic parts, is that the gel has lost its effectiveness in an hour or two. The gel would also be swallowed during the night.
Many people have reported sore throat and increased susceptibility to gum. The teeth whitening kits have started to decline in sales because people are disillusioned with product safety and hassle to use, just to have whiter teeth.
