WHY DO PATIENTS CHOOSE SIGNATURE ORTHODONTICS?

Real patient transformations

My daughter had treatment here and I couldn’t recommend them enough! Cleo was an amazing treatment coordinator and her confidence has improved so much!
Ethan Lowe

Waited 2 years for the NHS with no kick for my son's tooth that was stuck behind another tooth. Signature saw him on the same day and within a few weeks arranged for the CT scan, braces and small surgery to expose the tooth. After stressing about his teeth for 2 years I should come here sooner

Pete Gill

Excellent from the start of my treatment all the way to the end. Highly recommended, the only orthodontist I’ll ever use. Thank you

WHY CHOOSE TEETH WHITENING?

Why choose professional teeth whitening in Birmingham

Custom-fitted whitening trays

Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions from shops, our whitening trays are precisely created from digital scans of your teeth. This custom fit ensures maximum contact between the whitening gel and your teeth while minimising gum exposure, providing more effective and comfortable treatment for Birmingham patients.

Premium whitening systems

We use only the highest quality whitening products—White Dental Beauty and Enlighten—developed specifically for dental professionals. These systems are clinically proven to provide superior results while being gentle on your teeth and gums, making them the preferred choice for discerning patients throughout Birmingham and Harborne.

Professional oversight

Your whitening treatment is supervised by our experienced cosmetic dentists, ensuring both safety and optimal results. This professional guidance allows us to tailor the treatment specifically to your needs and dental history, providing peace of mind throughout your whitening journey.

Natural-looking results

Our whitening treatments brighten your smile without creating an artificial "too white" appearance. We carefully select the appropriate whitening strength and duration to achieve a result that enhances your natural beauty while still looking authentic—the perfect complement to our orthodontic treatments.

Minimal sensitivity

Our professional approach and premium products are designed to minimise tooth sensitivity, a common concern with shop-bought whitening products. For Birmingham patients with particularly sensitive teeth, we can adjust your treatment protocol to ensure a comfortable experience without compromising results.

Long-lasting brightness

With proper care, your whitening results can last for many months. After completing orthodontic treatment, many of our Birmingham patients choose whitening as the perfect finishing touch to their newly straightened smile, with discounted options available for patients who have completed orthodontic treatment with us.

HOW DOES TEETH WHITENING WORK?

The science behind your brighter smile

Professional teeth whitening works by using active ingredients (usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) to gently penetrate the enamel and break down the compounds that cause tooth discoloration. This process doesn't damage your tooth structure but effectively lightens stains and discoloration that have accumulated over time.

Our home whitening systems use custom-made trays that fit precisely over your teeth. You'll fill these trays with the professional-grade whitening gel we provide and wear them for the recommended duration—typically a few hours each day or overnight, depending on the specific system and concentration.

This gradual approach allows for optimal whitening while minimising sensitivity. Most Birmingham patients see noticeable results within just a few days, with the full effect developing over the 2-week treatment period.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

Modern teeth whitening at Signature Orthodontics

At Signature Orthodontics, we use the iTero 3D scanner to create precise digital impressions of your teeth—no more messy putty impressions that can make you gag. These highly accurate digital models allow us to create perfectly fitted whitening trays that ensure even coverage and maximum comfort.

The White Dental Beauty and Enlighten whitening systems we use represent the cutting edge of professional teeth whitening technology. These premium products deliver predictable, beautiful results while incorporating ingredients that help protect enamel and reduce sensitivity—an important consideration for our Birmingham patients.

For those who have completed orthodontic treatment with us, teeth whitening offers the perfect finishing touch to your new smile. Many patients choose to whiten their teeth after braces or aligners are removed to maximise the impact of their transformation.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions about teeth whitening in Birmingham

Is professional teeth whitening safe?

Yes, professional teeth whitening under dental supervision is very safe. The whitening products we use at our Birmingham practice are specifically designed for dental use and have been thoroughly tested. Unlike some shop-bought options, our professional treatments are custom-fitted to your teeth, minimising gum exposure and potential irritation. We also conduct a thorough assessment before treatment to ensure you're a suitable candidate for whitening.

How long do teeth whitening results last?

With proper care, professional teeth whitening results typically last between 1-3 years, though this varies depending on lifestyle factors. Drinking staining beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine, as well as smoking, can shorten this timeframe. Many Birmingham patients choose to do occasional touch-up treatments to maintain their bright smile. We provide specific aftercare advice to help maximise the longevity of your results.

Will teeth whitening work on all types of discoloration?

Professional whitening works best on external staining caused by food, drinks, and age-related yellowing. It's less effective on internal discoloration caused by medication, injury, or some developmental conditions. During your consultation at our Harborne practice, we'll assess your type of discoloration and advise whether whitening will be effective. For difficult cases, we may suggest alternatives like veneers or composite bonding.

Is teeth whitening painful?

Most patients experience little to no discomfort during professional whitening. Some temporary sensitivity may occur, particularly in the early stages of treatment, but this typically subsides quickly. The premium whitening systems we use contain desensitising agents. For naturally sensitive teeth, we can adjust the gel concentration or application time.

How white will my teeth become?

The degree of whitening varies based on your natural tooth colour and type of staining. Most Birmingham patients see a significant improvement of several shades. We'll discuss realistic expectations and use a shade guide to help you visualise the potential results.

Can I whiten my teeth during orthodontic treatment?

It's usually best to wait until your orthodontic treatment is complete to ensure even results. However, if you're using clear aligners like Invisalign, we may be able to use them as whitening trays. We'll advise you during your consultation.

How does professional whitening compare to shop-bought options?

Professional whitening uses stronger, safer agents and provides better results. Custom trays ensure even application and reduced gum exposure. Plus, you're under the care of trained professionals throughout the process.

How do I maintain my whitening results?

Maintain your results with good hygiene, regular check-ups, and limiting staining foods. Use a straw for drinks like coffee and tea. Occasional touch-ups help too. We'll give you tailored aftercare tips.
