Enlighten Whitening is the most comfortable and predictable whitening currently available. Teeth can be put into categories of shade. A3 is the most common natural tooth colour. Enlighten guarantees to whiten your teeth to B1, which is the whitest shade on the Vita shade guide. 

Teeth whitening works by opening up the pores of your teeth which travel from your enamel all the way into your dentine. Once these pores are opened the hydrogen peroxide creates an oxygen reaction which basically forces 'dirt' and staining out. The longer you use the whitening, day after day the whiter your teeth become because the 'deeper' staining is reached. Once you end the treatment your pores close back up and no damage is done. 

The process of whitening means that sometimes temporary sensitivity is unavoidable, however it is greatly reduced by the enlighten formula and the de sensitising swabs that come in your pack. With all whitening sensitivity, when carried out by a professional it is temporary and will stop after few days or weeks after your treatment. If you use over the counter products or are seen by a non dental professional a lot of permanent damage can be done. 

The two week initial treatment is designed to be a one off and sets your teeth up to be white for years. All they will need is a few days top up every few months (depending on your diet and oral hygiene). So whilst Enlighten is an investment it can be looked at as a long term result.
