Tooth whitening regression

All whitening systems, including the Clinicas Udemax, have an initial regression during the first 5 to 10 days.

There are some factors involved in the regression of bleaching patients.

When whitening, billions of microscopic bubbles are formed inside the enamel. Those bubbles are full of ROS (reactive oxygen species), those bubbles along the tooth structure reflect light back to our eye. And it often takes 5 to 10 days for all those bubbles to finally come out of the teeth.

Once the bubbles leave the tooth structure, you will see “REAL” whitening. This would be a so-called “short term regression”.

Whitening systems that don’t TRULY make teeth really white will show a huge regression (Not the Clinicas Udemax).

However, you may also see “long-term regression”. Long-term regression may be due to the accumulation of additional staining.

During the initial whitening, we get the whitest teeth, so we include regular at-home whitening maintenance to fully prevent this type of regression in the long term.

If you have any further questions about this or anything else, please do not hesitate to contact me in the consultation.
