The convenience for you and the patient is topped only by lower intensity of tooth sensitivity, AND lower risk of gingival irritation (when compared to conventional bleaching trays).5 #### Orthodontic Patients can Whiten Too! Due to the small molecular size of the whitening agent in Opalescence PF 10%, even areas below a bonded composite attachment are whitened.6 1. Basting, RT, Antonio LR, Campos SM.

Testing is above studying. I would recommend to any colleague, who has not been doing whitening treatments yet, to go ahead with Opalescence™ whitening. You will be overwhelmed by the quick results and the interesting price-ratio performance. ##### Tanja Funk, ZMF ###### Germany We do not believe in the value of light-activated tooth whitening. That’s one of the reasons why we prefer the Opalescence™ whitening products. ##### Dr. Chris Gan ###### Netherlands I have been using Opalescence™ whitening for 20 years! It has accompanied me throughout my professional life, allowing me to achieve successful, safe, and long-lasting whitening! ##### Dr. Julio Chavez Lozada ###### Argentina Opalescence Go™ whitening makes my dental practice so much easier. It’s a high-quality product, ready to use, that takes the impression making out of the equation. All of these things make it a very interesting alternative. Simple use and Ultra-Fit™ tray technology with pre-loaded trays are just 2 of the countless qualities of Opalescence Go whitening. I use it and I recommend it! ##### Dr. Raquel Passos ###### Brazil My favourite whitening product is Opalescence™ PF whitening with 10% carbamide peroxide. It combines the best out of all whitening worlds: A comfortable handling, gentle procedures due to the PF formula (potassium nitrate and fluoride), and great results. ##### Dr. Christian Bossler ###### Germany Opalescence Go™ whitening gel is a really flexible solution for quick results. It is super easy to use, and patients can easily wear the ready-to-use trays between two meetings, during their domestic work, at work or during any other activity. Sensitivity is not an issue with Opalescence Go whitening. ##### Tanja Funk, ZMF ###### Germany In one simple word, Opalescence™ whitening means: VARIETY! It offers tooth whitening options for everybody! ##### Dr. Verena Freier ###### Germany For cosmetic home-whitening treatments I highly recommend Opalescence™ PF whitening—the gold standard in tooth whitening! It provides for amazing results combined with cost-effective procedures. ##### Dr. Clarissa Jänig ###### Germany During a lecture of Dr. Dan Fischer, I heard about Opalescence™ tooth whitening products for the first time. His philosophy truly impressed me; thus, I have been using a variety of products from Ultradent Products whenever and wherever it is possible. ##### Markus Ludolph, Dentist ###### Germany The Opalescence™ tooth whitening system made me curious. Thus, I started using it one year ago and got fully convinced by its efficiency and its gentle procedures. ##### Dr. Christoph Kronsteiner ###### Austria A number of factors cement Opalescence™ PF in my custom bleaching protocol not withstanding its Van Haywood/Heymann legacy and time-tested predictability on patients of all ages... The powerful predictability of the Opalescence product range allows me to have confidence in putting my best foot forward in situations with varying clinical needs. ##### Dr. Clarence Tam ###### Australia The effectiveness of Opalescence™ whitening products is just amazing! Safe products with reliable and constant results. ##### Dr. Catherine Morin Houde ###### Quebec As the developer of the JAMSTAN Dental Cosmetic Pyramid, smile whitening is the first step in any smile enhancement. We have used Opalescence™ whitening products for almost 25 years. We have tried other brands, but we haven't found one that consistently gives us the WOW results we are looking for like Opalescence whitening. No gimmicks like lights or heat or other peripheral equipment needed. We rely on science, and we are never disappointed. ##### Dr. Jaimee Morgan ###### States I have been an advocate of the Opalescence™ Teeth Whitening System for over 10 years now. Having done countless teeth whitening appointments, we’ve seen the effectiveness and longevity of the results on our patients provided that they have also been diligent in their oral health maintenance. ##### Dr. Rouel Vergara, DMD ###### Australia After a treatment with Opalescence™ tooth whitening products, my patients frequently receive positive feedback from other people, noticing their wonderful white teeth. Could you wish for a better promotion for your dental practice and your tooth whitening services? ##### Dr. Clarissa Jänig ###### Germany I use Opalescence Go™ whitening in three situations: When patients want a quick, easy treatment, without having to make impressions and trays; a treatment that is immediately ready…to GO! Patients love the fact that they can do it anywhere (in the car, while they are on their computer, etc.). I often give it also as follow-up to in-office whitening and, finally, as a way to spoil my patients and give them a little extra attention that they always appreciate very much. ##### Dr. Enrico Cogo ###### Italy ![Most Studied and Tested Icon](https://fs.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5802407/1_Ultradent%20Products/Campaigns/2021/Q3_OpalescenceLeader/Landing%20Page/mostStudied_Icon.svg "Most Studied and Tested Icon") ##### The Most Studied & Tested Whitening Brand More clinical studies, articles, and reviews have been published on Opalescence whitening than any other professional whitening brand.
