A bright, confident smile is something many patients desire, and teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments worldwide. To achieve safe, effective, and lasting results, custom-made bleaching trays are the gold standard. At A1 Aesthetics, we design and manufacture high-quality bleaching trays that provide dentists with reliable tools for professional teeth whitening treatments.
What Are Bleaching Trays?
Bleaching trays are clear, custom-fitted dental appliances used to hold whitening gel against the teeth. Unlike generic, over-the-counter whitening kits, our trays are precision-made using accurate dental impressions or digital scans, ensuring a secure fit that maximises contact between the whitening agent and tooth surfaces. This ensures even, predictable whitening results while minimising the risk of gum irritation.
Why Choose Custom Bleaching Trays?
Store-bought whitening trays are typically one-size-fits-all and often uncomfortable, leading to uneven results. Custom trays offer significant advantages:
Perfect Fit – Crafted from impressions or scans for full coverage and retention.
Comfortable & Discreet – Thin, clear design makes them easy to wear, even during daily activities.
Even Whitening – Gel stays in place and spreads evenly across all teeth surfaces.
Reduced Sensitivity – Prevents leakage of whitening gel onto gums and soft tissues.
Professional Results – More effective than over-the-counter options, with results tailored to patient needs.
The Process of Getting Bleaching Trays
The journey to a brighter smile with custom trays is simple and efficient:
Impression or Scan – The dentist takes a detailed impression or digital scan of the patient’s teeth.
Laboratory Fabrication – Our skilled technicians create precise, lightweight trays using high-quality, flexible material.
Fitting & Instructions – The dentist checks the fit and provides guidance on gel usage and wear time.
At-Home Use – Patients use the trays with professional whitening gel, following their dentist’s instructions for safe and effective results.
