Cavex Bite&White Ready 2 Use

Discoloration of teeth can have an intrinsic and/or an extrinsic cause. When the discoloring has an intrinsic cause, it means that there are small cracks in the enamel and dentin. Molecules within these cracks discolor and cause the discoloration of teeth. Extrinsic causes are the stains on the surface of the teeth. The gel used in Cavex Bite&White Ready 2 Use contains 6% Hydrogen Peroxide Superior (HPS) and handles both intrinsic and extrinsic discoloration. The proven whitening agent is able to penetrate enamel and break down the discolored molecules through the formation of radicals (small energy balls).

A whitening treatment should always be supervised by a dentist. Whitening under controlled dental office conditions is safe and effective. Clinical studies support the safety and effectiveness of home whitnening gels when used appropriately. Tooth sensitivity and irritation to soft tissues can occur during whitening treatment, but these effects only last for a short time and have no long-term effects. Cavex Bite&White has been developed and produced according strict European Cosmetic legislation and has undergone thorough testing and evaluation.

The gel used in Cavex Bite&White Ready 2 Use contains potassium nitrate, this is a desensitizer, therefore minimizing sensitivity. Slight sensitivity is possible and varies from person to person. In this case a desensitizing product like Cavex ExSense could be considered after the whitening treatment.

In-Office whitening treatments are performed in one or two sessions but have a much faster relapse. At-Home whitening treatments take one, two or three weeks, but the results last much longer lasting.

Restorations, crowns and facings will not be affected by the whitening gel. A possible solution for this is to replace the restorations after reaching the desired teeth color.

Based upon numerous studies the Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP) made a safety evaluation in 2011 on the use of hydrogen peroxide in oral hygiene products and tooth whitening products. As in many risk evaluations the SCCP used the Margin Of Safety (MOS) to determine the maximum concentration which can be considered as safe.
Based upon the MOS evaluation the SCCP considered 6% hydrogen peroxide (16% carbamide peroxide) to be the maximum allowed concentration.

The previous Cavex Bite&White Ready 2 Use was not developed with Hydrogen Peroxide Superior (HPS) technology. HPS technology makes the whitening gel ‘temperature stable’ and therefore it does not have to be refrigerated. The new Ready 2 Use also has the perfect balance between maximum effectiveness and maximum stability because of the HPS technology so the tray has to be in the mouth for just fifteen minutes!

The tray of the Ready 2 Use whitening treatment is a unique ‘one-size-fits-all’ Dryflex® tray. This tray is very flexible and therefore fits everyone. This tray also makes it easier to perform a whitening treatment because it is already pre-filled.

In short, at the dentist and the dentist at a dental distributor. Cavex Bite&White should only be sold via a dentist. Before any whitening treatment is performed a consultation with a qualified dentist is recommended to ensure there are no underlying oral or health issues. According to the new European Cosmetic Directive 76/768/EEC, teeth whitening or bleaching products containing between 0.1% and 6% hydrogen peroxide (16% carbamide peroxide) for at-home use can only be sold by dentists. Higher concentrations are not allowed for at-home use within Europe.
Cavex Bite&White is developed in full compliance with this new European legislation, and Cavex fully supports the enforcement of this law.

We recommend performing a whitening treatment before going to sleep. Put the pre-filled whitening tray in the mouth and leave it in for just fifteen minutes, then rinse the mouth. While asleep there is sufficient time for re‐mineralization after bleaching. Right after the whitening treatment the teeth are more sensitive to discoloration by food or drinks. The structure of the teeth is more open, so eating or drinking products that could stain (e.g. red wine, coffee, tea, soda, cigarettes) are advised against. Anything that can stain a white t‐shirt can stain whitened teeth. While asleep there is no risk of staining.

The tray only needs to be worn in the mouth for just fifteen minutes because of the HPS technology. The HPS technology patented by Cavex ensures that Cavex Ready 2 Use has the perfect balance between maximum effectiveness and maximum stability, what makes the wearing time shorter.

The box contains eight pre‐filled trays, and we advise to use one tray a day for eight consecutive days. By this time the teeth will be significantly whiter. When not yet totally satisfied with the results an extension of the treatment can be considered in consultation with the dentist.

An exact indication cannot be given except… the teeth will be whiter after the treatment! How much whiter differs from person to person, depending on the nature and state of the teeth, the type of measurements and the motivation (discipline) of the person. The Cavex Bite&White Ready 2 Use packaging includes a shade guide. This makes it very easy to see which shade the teeth had before and after treatment.

The new and improved Ready 2 Use can be stored on room temperature thank to the HPS technology. The gel only becomes active with moist and temperature from the mouth.

Cavex Bite&White Ready 2 Use has a shelf life of three years and does not need to be stored in the refrigerator.
