The complete transformation will be noticed in 7-10 days.The in-office process is simple. First your teeth are polished to remove surface debris. A plastic "retractor" is put in your mouth to hold your cheeks and tongue out of the way and a rubber coating is applied to your gums to protect them. Then, the solution containing the whitening substance is painted on your teeth. A light activation system is then used to accelerate the whitening process. The solution is then removed and the process is repeated.
