Treatment Options Vital Bleaching At home using vacuum-formed splint Indicate extensions eg. to distal of 6s Worn for 2-3 hours/8 hours depending on product Demonstration by dentist first Matchstick-head size amount on labial aspect of tray (Most commonly carbamide peroxide) Usually results within 2 weeks, although could take longer - review Take shade at start/finish

Patient Information: Brush teeth first Wear 2-3hours/8hours (overnight) depending on product Apply matchstick-head amount to labial aspect No eating/drinking during wear Rinse with water after Use sensitive toothpaste – if sensitivity occurs, use on alternate nights Minimal contact with red wine/coffee/tobacco to prolong effects
