Rated 3 stars
Aquafresh White Trays made by pharmacy giants Glaxo Smith Kline are part of the Aquafresh range of dental products.
This teeth whitening treatment features disposable mouth trays which come ready-filled with whitening gel making it very easy to use. The complete treatment takes one week and positive results can be seen after the third day.
Aquafresh White Trays are a relatively new product on the market and are only available from retail outlets in the US but can also be bought online from American retailers such as Amazon. Aquafresh White Trays cost $30 for a week’s treatment.
What are Aquafresh White Trays?
The product is easy to use. You simply place a whitening tray over the upper and the lower teeth and leave both on for 45 minutes. The trays are flexible and relatively comfortable for most people. They should fit tightly over the teeth which will allow a wide spread of whitening gel to work into the enamel of the teeth.
The bleaching gel contains a low level of hydrogen peroxide that at 10% makes it one of the lower strength bleaching gels on the market but this does make it safe for home use.
Do Aquafresh White Trays work?
There have been many positive reviews for Aquafresh White Trays.
Many consumers are pleased with the results and have seen improvement in their teeth by the third day, as advertised. The 45 minutes treatment time is convenient and a vast improvement on other teeth whitening processes that have to be left on for longer.
Negatives with Aquafresh White Trays
The main disadvantage with using Aquafresh is that the mouth trays cannot be customised to suit the individual mouth. The trays are based on the size of the “average” mouth and teeth so do not fit everyone.
Some users have experienced discomfort and a burning sensation because the ill-fitting trays allow the gel to come into contact with the gums. Other users have found that the trays do not fully cover their teeth leading to a patchy result.
Another disadvantage is that the treatment does not whiten the teeth as much as some of the other products available on the market because of the low percentage of active ingredient in the whitening gel.
Aquafresh White Trays … verdict
Aquafresh White Trays is a relatively inexpensive and safe teeth-whitening method made by a reputable company and many consumers have been pleased with the results.
However, the issues with the mouth trays are a serious drawback for some users and the teeth whitening effect would be improved by a higher level of hydrogen peroxide.
