What is DayWhite ACP Whitening Gel?
DayWhite ACP is a powerful quick-acting tooth whitening gel. The gel contains amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), potassium nitrate, and fluoride, to rebuild and fill in cracks in enamel (cause of stains), add luster, gloss, and smoothness, reduce fade-back and re-staining, and help reduce sensitivity during treatment. The powerful concentrations of DayWhite’s gels are designed for quick whitening results with minimal wear time. The treatment time will take between fifteen and sixty minutes for each application. By contrast, many other whitening gels require between several hours to a full overnight treatment. DayWhite is specifically designed to be faster than other teeth whitening gels while remaining highly effective.
DayWhite ACP Whitening Gel Concentrations
DayWhite ACP comes in three concentrations: 7.5% Hydrogen Peroxide, 9.5% Hydrogen Peroxide, and 38% Carbomide Peroxide Gels. Note that Hydrogen Peroxide and Carbomide Peroxide are similar bleaching compounds but Hydrogen Peroxide is roughly three times stronger then the equivalent Carbomide Peroxide concentration. However, both compounds contain DayWhite’s signature ACP (amorphous calcium phosphate) formula. As previously noted, a single treatment will take between 15 and 60 minutes (up to two times a day) with the higher gel concentrations generally taking less time. The first full DayWhite ACP whitening treatment should take no more than two weeks with shorter optional touch-ups every few months, years, or as needed.
Teeth Bleaching Trays for DayWhite ACP
DayWhite ACP teeth whitening kits do not come with their own whitening trays. These bleaching trays are a required component for teeth whitening gels and if you do not already have a pair, you will need to purchase them separately. The best teeth whitening trays are generally custom fitted trays based on your teeth impression. You can get these trays from your dentist or you can save money ordering them online. To order them online there are several steps involved. First you will be shipped a teeth impression kit by the tray company which you will need to send back to their dental lab with your teeth impressions. Then they will create your custom-fitted teeth bleaching tray and send it back to you. This is essentially an identical process to what your local dentist would perform but at mere 10-15% of the cost.
The alternative is to use a high quality make-at-home tray. You can still get a great tray with this method and there are no extra shipping times involved. Although it may be tempting, it is not advisable to use one of the cheap $5 to $10 trays at the local pharmacy because you will end up with a weaker fit that causes non-uniform whitening, uses more gel, and causes more irritation.
A Final DayWhite ACP Tip
While in the 1-2 week process of bleaching your teeth with DayWhite ACP, try not to drink coffee, tea, wine or consume other dark drinks, certain foods, or tobacco that will cause new stains. While bleaching, the surface of the teeth become more porous. Small cracks in the enamel are opened which makes it easier for new stains to form. Your saliva as well as certain chemicals in the gel formula will naturally remineralize these cracks but if you consume a staining food or drink shortly after bleaching your teeth, it will still reduce the effectiveness of the treatment by causing re-staining.
Best of luck for your DayWhite ACP teeth whitening treatment!
