Are you ashamed of your smile? Is it discolored due to wear and tear, or other staining factors? With another year behind us, now is the time to whiten your smile to get rid of stains caused by coffee, iced tea, red wine and other staining foods. With custom-fit whitening trays, you can whiten your smile with better, faster results. In other words, a set of trays that are custom fit to the person who will use them, as opposed to one of the pre-fab or "boil-n-bite" do it yourself kits. Because over-the-counter peroxide bleaching products are mass-produced and require repeated application for optimal effect, they often cause heightened tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. This new year, treat yourself to a dazzling smile. What Stains Your Teeth? Nothing ruins a beautiful smile quicker than stained teeth. Teeth stains can be extremely embarrassing, difficult to avoid and even harder to treat. They can develop from two factors: intrinsic or extrinsic.

* Foods and drinks - coffee, tea, colas, wines and certain fruits and vegetables
* Tobacco use
* Poor dental hygiene
* Disease
* Medications
* Dental materials
* Advancing age
* Trauma By making a few simple lifestyle changes, you may be able to prevent teeth discoloration. If your teeth appear to be an abnormal color without ready explanation and, if other symptoms are present, make an appointment with your dentist in Colorado Springs today.

Advantages of Custom-Bleaching The biggest advantage of custom made kits tends to be the most obvious: it is trimmed to fit precisely along your gum line, to ensure that the entire surface of the tooth is bleached. It is also important to use a custom tray, as it helps to avoid contact of the bleach with the soft gum tissue, which helps to minimize the potential for gum irritation during the bleaching process. Custom bleaching trays are also more comfortable to wear, making it easier for you to wear the trays for the full amount of time they are allotted. Additional advantages include:
* Keeps the bleach against the tooth and inside the tray rather than leaking out.
* Prevents slippage, making them more effective and easier to wear.
* You can jog, watch television, handle light errands
