Julia looked at herself... and decided that she was not beautiful enough. I started to correct the situation with my teeth.
During quarantine, we did live broadcasts with different cool speakers - and I got involved. I loved this format.
But - surprise - because of these broadcasts I encountered new old problems. Again, I didn’t like the way I looked :) In this case, I looked on camera. I reviewed my “film” wardrobe (if you’re in black or white, the camera is “off-putting”, you need something neutral), I reviewed my makeup (my skin is too light, and the camera “offsets” again), now I’m making my face tone warmer, highlighting eyes more intense) and found points in the apartment where the lighting makes me happy.
But there was a problem that you couldn’t fix on your own. For example, yellowish teeth -).
I decided to take this very problem to dentist Gleb Pekli at his clinic Insmile Dental Lounge, which we have already written about and who is a doc, a pro and a specialist in this matter. At the end of June I went for a consultation. It wasn’t scary - it seems like I already know everything about whitening, I did it seven years ago. Well, almost not scary :)
This is what the teeth looked like when I showed Gleb:
Teeth before whitening
It seems not critical, but I remember how much I liked the color of my teeth seven years ago, just after that Philips Zoom whitening. I wanted to return that feeling.
General picture "before":
At the consultation, Gleb told me that I have a gray-yellow type of enamel. (There are three of them in total - white, a very rare white-blue and gray-yellow. Gray-yellow is characteristic of approximately 70% of the inhabitants of Russia). With this type, whitening with Philips Zoom alone will not be enough. To make your teeth as white as possible, after the procedure you need to use the Opalescenes home system. It is, of course, not as powerful as Zoom, but it works gradually, day after day.
Advantages of the method
There are pros and cons to chemical teeth whitening. Let's start with the advantages that explain why many patients prefer this method:
- Efficiency. You can make the crowns lighter by 6-8 tones.
- You can achieve the desired result in one visit to the dentist.
- The result lasts for 2-3 years.
Chemical teeth whitening, reviews confirm this, is effective, but provided that there are no contraindications and the method is suitable for this particular patient.
Cons of the procedure
Do not forget that chemical teeth whitening, reviews from some patients indicate this, may not end so rosy. The disadvantages of the method are:
- teeth become more sensitive and react sharply to cold and hot;
- there is a risk of gum damage;
- If you overexpose the drug, the enamel and dentin may be damaged.
Such complications most often occur if you decide to carry out the procedure yourself in this way. Professional teeth whitening, reviews and photos confirm this, usually gives good results and occurs without consequences.

Klox system
This technique allows you to effectively whiten tooth enamel using a light-active mechanism. The basis of the gel is “Carbamide peroxide”. Under the influence of the rays of a photopolymer lamp, the reaction of atomic oxygen release begins. The light flux activates the action of bleaching agents.
Chemical teeth whitening with the Klox system, reviews from doctors and patients confirm this, is the safest and most popular today. The advantages of this technique include:
- "Klox" is a patented formula of a special gel that converts photon energy. As a result, the process is accelerated and 100% of the result can be achieved in one go.
- In 30 minutes you can get a snow-white smile without the risk of increasing tooth sensitivity.
- "Klox" is a safe and gentle whitening method. The non-abrasive formula allows you to achieve results quickly.
- Half an hour is enough to achieve results.
- During the short procedure time, patients do not have time to experience any discomfort.
This system, like the others, is not used for whitening dentures, crowns and bridges.
Photos before and after using home teeth whitening techniques
You can make your teeth brighter and more attractive without visiting a professional dentist’s office and without spending heavily on expensive procedures. There are several remedies that are used at home and give good results. These include teeth whitening strips, pencils and trays. All photos are taken from the largest review portal irecommend.ru. You can read there people's opinions about certain teeth whitening products to decide on the choice that is most suitable for yourself.
Dental strips Crest
The principle of their action is based on the same hydrogen peroxide, which is included in their composition. You take out the strips from the kit, apply them to your teeth and hold them for a certain time, according to the instructions. The procedure is very convenient because it can be performed anywhere and at any time. The effect of Crest whitening strips is not as strong as we would like, but in the photo before and after using them, the result is still noticeable. You are guaranteed to lighten the enamel by two to four tones.
Pencils for teeth
Another small miracle for those who want to make their smile beautiful. To do this, you should buy a small pencil. It will have an applicator or brush at the end. The bottle of the product is filled with carbamide peroxide. All you need to do is apply the gel to your teeth and leave it on for a while. Urea breaks down and begins to release oxygen atoms, which destroy the coloring pigments on the teeth, causing the latter to become lighter.
Trays for enamel whitening
The essence of this product is to wear a nozzle filled with gel (based on hydrogen peroxide or urea). You just need to fill the tray with gel, place it on your teeth and apply a little pressure to distribute the product evenly. After a certain time, the nozzle should be removed and the mouth should be rinsed thoroughly with water. You’re unlikely to use this product when you’re away, but at home it’s just the thing. Using teeth whitening trays, you can expect to lighten your enamel by two to four shades. The results of their use can be seen in the photo before and after their use.
This is where we will probably finish our short review of photographs of the results of using certain techniques. We looked at the cost of teeth whitening with them earlier. Choose a suitable method based on efficiency and price and enjoy a Hollywood smile, and also give it to others more often!
