Xtreme White is a fairly new company which operates inside shopping malls throughout Chicago land. Xtreme White offers professional teeth whitening at a dramatically low price(starting at $25). The low price can be offered for a number of reasons, the treatment is all self administered, does not require the supervision of a doctor and the products are manufactured by the company itself. After Extensive study and research, Xtreme White has combined teeth whitening elements to develop an effective treatment which guarantees optimal results:
How Does Teeth Whitening Work? There are five elements to successful teeth whitening – peroxide, light, pressure, heat, and exposure. Research shows that a combination of these elements will produce much greater results.
Peroxide Found in virtually all dental whitening products, peroxide breaks down into hydroxide radicals which penetrate the tooth structure and break down stains. However, due to its degree of acidity, peroxide can burn the gums and cause tooth sensitivity. So how does Xtreme White use peroxide more safely? With the combination of light, heat, and pressure, we can use a gentle peroxide gel specifically formulated with a neutral pH. The result is whiter teeth without irritation or sensitivity.
Light
The conversion of hydrogen peroxide to hydroxide radicals can be accelerated by exposure to certain wavelengths of light. Specifically within the spectrum of 400 to 560 nanometers, the safe visible light increases the release of hydroxide radicals and accelerates the whitening process. We use a “cool blue” cold LED light which is known as being the safest and most effective light in the industry today. This light does not emit dangerous UV rays so it is completely safe and will not cause burns or irritation.
Pressure
Without pressure peroxide has limited effectiveness. By applying mild pressure from our light guiding tray, peroxide gel is squeezed into the tooth structure which breaks down into hydroxide radicals. The hydroxide radicals deeply penetrate the tooth structure and break down the stains that have accumulated over time.
Heat
Heat generated from the body combined with 400 to 560 nanometers of light helps break down peroxide gel into hydroxide radicals. The combination of light, pressure, and the body’s natural temperature of 98.6 Fahrenheit heats the peroxide gel and increases the release of hydroxide radicals.
Exposure
The longer you expose your teeth to these elements the whiter your teeth will get. But peroxide does wear out. So it is important to balance all these elements with the right exposure. One 15 minute session yields an incredible 3-5 shade increase.
In this economy, such treatments are an efficient alternative to whitening in a dentist's office where the cost is dramatically higher. Currently, Xtreme White has locations in Chicago Heights, Ford City Mall and The Hip, Located in Norridge. The number of locations is expected to expand as more people get to know that there is a quick, easy and affordable way to get beautiful, white teeth.
