BriteSmile has revolutionized tooth whitening with state-of-the-art technology that is safe, gentle, and effective.  BriteSmile uses only two simple elements: gel and light. The Brightsmile light works in tandem with the proprietary whitening gel to accelerate the whitening process. This light has been clinically proven safe for tooth enamel, as well as skin, gums, and other soft tissues. It emits virtually no heat and no harmful UV light. The Britesmile light is used in combination with the patented whitening gel, which has been optimized for patient safety and maximum results. Britesmile's proprietary gel is buffered at a near-neutral pH value that is compatible with tooth enamel. The gel also contains other ingredients such as glycerin and highly purified water to prevent tooth dehydration and to further ensure safety. When the light illuminates the gel, it activates and safely accelerates the whitening process to achieve amazing results in just one hour.
