MOLDABLE TRAY, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR WHITENING TEETH

摘要

Tooth whitening system includes a moldable dental tray 10, the moldable dental tray 10 including a moldable material, which is sufficiently moldable so that a user can form the tray to substantially match the configuration of the user's teeth 102, 108, in use. Moldable dental tray 10 includes a raised region 64 and a valley 68 so that, in use, the raised region 64 and valley 68 are adjacent to and free of contact with a corresponding raised region and valley of a user's tooth adjacent a user's gum line 104. Thus, a tooth whitener 34 provided on the moldable dental tray is free of contact with the user's gingiva, in use. The tooth whitener includes a carrier, a whitening agent, and an adhesive material, which is sufficiently adhesive so that both the tooth whitener and the moldable dental tray formed to substantially match the configuration of the user's teeth 102, 108, in use, are adhered to a user's tooth for a sufficiently long period of time to achieve a whitening of the user's tooth by the whitening agent 34. Method of use, and the moldable dental tray, are likewise described. The tooth whitener 34 and the tray can be made of organic, natural materials.
