Custom bleaching trays offer a dentist-guided way to brighten your smile at home.
Whitening with a custom tray
A brighter smile, shaped around your teeth.
If you are unhappy with the color of your teeth, whitening may help brighten your smile. Reuther Family Dental uses custom trays made from a mold of your teeth to hold whitening gel in place.
Your doctor will show you how to fit the tray and apply additional whitening gel at home. The custom trays are yours to keep for future applications.
A custom fit
Trays made from a mold of your teeth.
The process begins with a mold of your teeth. That mold is used to make a custom tray designed to hold whitening gel against your teeth.
The trays are yours to keep, so they can be used again whenever you would like an additional whitening application.
At-home application
Learn how to use your whitening gel.
Whitening gel is placed into the tray, which is then fitted onto your teeth. Your doctor will show you how to perform additional applications of the gel at home.
Follow the directions provided by your dental team for your individual treatment.
- Use the custom tray made from your tooth mold.
- Place whitening gel in the tray as shown by your doctor.
- Keep your trays for future applications.
