Twilight Teeth FAQ's
How does Twilight Teeth work?
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.
