During other in-office whitening procedures, light and heat reside outside of the mouth, requiring exceedingly high temperatures and resulting in oxygen ions escaping off the surface of the tooth. GLO Science puts the light and optimal warming heat inside the mouth and uses the sealed environment created by the mouthpiece to maximize the efficacy of the whitening gel, preventing dehydration and sensitivity.
The controlled warming heat inside the mouthpiece accelerates the formation of highly reactive oxygen ions. This prevents the whitening oxygens from escaping into the atmosphere. Instead, they bombard the surface of the tooth, resulting in shorter but more effective wear times without painful, sensitivity-induced zingers.
Because the warming heat is modulated to the optimal temperature, it prevents the pulpal response that happens with other professional whitening lights. The gentle heat is soothing, allowing patients to whiten in comfort.
