The LumaArch ™ teeth whitening system is LumaLite, Inc.'s professional teeth whitening product.

TWhat type of tooth whitener is used with the LumaArch ™ teeth whitening system?

The LumaArch ™ teeth whitening system uses a proprietary hydrogen peroxide-based bleaching compound named LumaWhite ™. This whitener comes prepackaged as two individual components (a powder and a liquid) that are mixed at the time of application so to produce in a bleaching paste that has a 35% hydrogen peroxide concentration and a pH of 5.5.

Is a bleaching light or laser used with the LumaArch ™ teeth whitening process?

The protocol for the LumaArch ™ teeth whitening system includes the use of a xenon-halogen bleaching light. These lights are manufactured by LumaLite, Inc. specifically for use with LumaWhite ™ teeth whitener. When the light is placed into position, it is capable of simultaneously illuminating all of the patient's teeth being treated (both upper and lower). LumaLite, Inc. also manufactures a LED (light-emitting diode) bleaching light. They have given this light unit the name LumaCool ™. The wavelength of the light emitted from these units is in the range of 405 to 580nm (meaning that the light has a blue-green coloration). The implication associated with the use of a bleaching light is that the company believes that light of this specific wavelength activates some aspect of the LumaArch ™ tooth whitener so to enhance its whitening effect.

Evaluations of the LumaArch ™ xenon-halogen and LumaCool ™ LED bleaching lights have not been shown to produce a significant heating effect on the teeth being treated.

This means that the cumulative exposure of the patient's teeth to the LumaArch ™ teeth whitening gel is 24 minutes.

Does the LumaArch ™ teeth whitening system make use of at-home teeth whitening treatments?

Using an at-home teeth whitener after your LumaArch ™ teeth whitening treatment is not a formal part of the LumaArch ™ whitening protocol. However, LumaLite, Inc. does make an at-home paint-on whitening product named StayBright ™ that they suggest is appropriate for additional after in-office treatment.
