A bright, white smile can significantly boost your confidence and enhance your overall appearance. However, many people struggle with stained or discolored teeth due to factors like aging, diet, and lifestyle choices. If you're seeking an effective solution to achieve a radiant smile, KöR whitening might just be the answer. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore what KöR teeth whitening is, how it works, and how it compares to other whitening methods.

What is KöR Teeth Whitening?

KöR teeth whitening is a professional whitening system designed to remove stains and discoloration from teeth effectively. Developed by Dr. Rod Kurthy, this innovative method uses a unique combination of whitening gels and custom-fitted trays to deliver impressive results. Unlike over-the-counter products, KöR is specifically formulated to penetrate the enamel and target deeper stains, making it a preferred choice among dental professionals.

This system is suitable for individuals dealing with various types of discoloration, including those caused by coffee (which can stain teeth by up to 60%), tea, red wine, tobacco, and even certain medications. With KöR whitening, many users report an improvement of several shades in just a few weeks, resulting in a brighter smile that lasts.

How Does KöR Whitening Work?

The natural color of teeth is influenced by large pigment and stain molecules that are trapped within the teeth's microstructure. The larger these molecules, the more chromophores they contain, making the teeth appear darker.

All peroxide gels function by producing hydrogen peroxide as their final product. This hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water, oxygen, and various radicals and byproducts known as “bleaching factors” that help in whitening teeth.

Optimal whitening results are achieved when these gels are fully potent, chemically enhanced to generate a high percentage of free radicals (rather than just oxygen and water), and are given sufficient time to penetrate deeply into the teeth's microstructure.

Clinical Research Associates (CRA) and other researchers have discovered that whitening gel in standard whitening trays remains highly active for only 25-35 minutes due to rapid contamination by saliva. Both saliva and sulcular fluid contain a high level of the antioxidant enzyme peroxidase. When upper and lower whitening trays are filled with whitening gel, around 6.5mg of peroxide is used. Saliva can destroy up to 29mg of peroxide per minute! Even minimal contamination of the gel by saliva can render it ineffective.

KöR whitening KöR-Seal™ trays are specifically designed to prevent saliva and sulcular fluid from entering the whitening trays. These trays, combined with KöR whitening gels, provide 6 to 10 hours of whitening activity, compared to the usual 25-35 minutes of other systems.

This results in a thorough cleaning of debris from between enamel prisms (interprismatic spaces) and within enamel prisms (intraprismatic spaces and intracrystalline spaces), restoring the enamel's youthful ability to whiten effectively and quickly, resulting in truly remarkable whiteness.
