Gone are the days of waiting to whiten your teeth after orthodontic treatment. New Pola for Aligners enable you to do both at the same time!
With a global market set to grow by 45% between 2020 and 2026, teeth whitening is a desirable cosmetic treatment that’s only moving in one direction. At-home teeth whitening is the fastest-growing segment in this global market as people opt for convenient, effective options that fit their lifestyle.
The SDI Pola teeth whitening range is designed to meet those needs. It already includes Pola Day, Pola Night , and Pola Light, with award-winning formulas and innovative applications that deliver results. Now, a new addition is available in Pola for Aligners, giving patients the tools to brighten their teeth as they straighten them.
Straighten and brighten
First, you straighten, then you whiten. That’s how it’s always been, but that’s not how it has to stay. The continued rise of clear aligners presents an opportunity for patients to brighten their teeth at the same time as straightening, allowing them to get the results fast rather than waiting until their orthodontic treatment is complete.
Dentists will also know that any orthodontic treatment can result in tooth discolouration. Pola for Aligners addresses that, as Dr Linda Greenwall, one of the world’s leading authorities on tooth whitening, explains in her recent podcast, ‘SDI always has their finger on the pulse. Many patients choose aligners, which is a natural step to help them with their whitening, enabling them to get the benefits of white teeth ‘now.’ This is a really effective way to do things.’
Whitening that works
As a dentist, recommending whitening treatment requires true faith in the product, particularly if it’s a take-home whitening kit. Pola for Aligners provides peace of mind with a specially formulated gel recommended by dentists worldwide to deliver the best results.
Designed to suit any aligner system, Pola Night’s award-winning formula offers the greatest comfort with sensitivity-reducing potassium nitrate, fluoride, and high water content, making it ideal for long-term use. The Pola Night 10% carbamide peroxide gel is considered the gold standard in teeth whitening, providing optimal whitening results while maintaining patient safety and comfort.
Due to its high viscosity, Pola Night gel stays put in the aligner trays. The patient adds the specified amount into the aligner tray as instructed, places them back in their mouth, and can carry on with their day.
While Pola for Aligners’ award-winning formula delivers effective whitening, the gel also provides the convenience people demand. It can be used to maintain bright smiles overnight or for a couple of hours during the day in a way that best fits their lifestyle.
Starting the whitening journey
Pola for Aligners simplifies the process of starting whitening by providing patients with one compact box containing everything they need. The box includes four syringe kits, each ready with the Pola Night 10% carbamide peroxide gel.
Patients can whiten overnight or for two hours daily and see the results as they straighten their teeth. As Linda Greenwall advises, ‘I recommend starting Pola for Aligners around a month into aligner treatment, to allow everything to settle down. As with any professional whitening, the dentist must assess patients before using Pola for Aligners.’
“Even if patients have attachments on their orthodontic appliances or use straight-edged or scalloped aligners, this does not interfere with the whitening process. As long as the whitening gel is applied for the recommended length, you will get very effective results.”
