- True. We will first take impressions of your teeth. Then we will create a set of clear plastic aligners. You will then be provided with a powerful bleaching gel. Each day you will wear the gel-filled tray for the amount of time recommended. The entire treatment typically takes between a week and ten days.

- True. Some forms of discoloration don’t respond very well to teeth whitening.
