 Hello everybody, Andrew Maesky here. So let's talk about teeth whitening and the light is The light really necessary now Yes, and no and it depends on the teeth whitening product that you're going to use So there are some teeth whitening products that have a percentage of carbamide peroxide and Hydrogen peroxide as they should if there's a teeth whitening product that just has hydrogen peroxide it will Lighten the teeth and get rid of stains, but it doesn't actually help To keep it that way if that makes sense. There's no There's nothing that happens afterwards to actually repel those stains So that's why carbamide peroxide is the most important But if your teeth whitening product only has hydrogen peroxide you do not need the light because what the light actually does is the light works with carbamide peroxide mainly and it just helps to speed up that Teeth whitening chemical reaction basically But if you don't have the light the whitening will still work it just might take longer and You won't get that wow whitening result in the same amount of time as you would if you had used the light Because when I first started I didn't have the light right away I was actually waiting for it to come in the mail But I had a lot of people sign up for the whitening So I tried it on a friend of mine first and the whitening procedure lasted about an hour and her teeth did look amazing They looked really really good, but it depends on the shade that they start out with if it's a darker shade Well, it's going to take longer if you don't have the light it could be an hour and 15 minutes it could be an hour and 20 minutes and Does your patient really want to stand around for that long if they don't have to probably not? So the light is a good investment now another question that people had is do do I need that? $4,000 light or am I okay to have the $200 light? So the key with that is check to make sure With the whitening product that you are using if the wavelength of the lights are the same So typically with any whitening product there's a light that they do Suggest so they will they will actually point you in the direction of the light that they want you to use so just Pay attention to the wavelength and the type of light that is used You can usually find one that's very similar if not the same on Amazon this light is an Amazon light. I paid maybe 150 for it I use an amazing product that they do sell their own lights for about $2,000 and I was kind of taking a risk when I purchased my light off of Amazon I thought to myself, okay I'm going to try it if it doesn't work and I have to buy that to that $2,000 light okay, but I want to try it first and the nice thing about Amazon is if you don't like it take it back Now this light is a third-party source. So yes Amazon sells it, but it's coming from a third party So taking it back isn't as easy as if I was to take it back to Amazon itself But you can still take things back. So I tried it and I did definitely notice a difference right away I had whitened somebody who had a darker shade For the whitening to look successful She would have to go at least five shades lighter because she did have a darker shade I had used the light for 45 minutes. I was like I was amazed. I had actually said, oh my gosh Wow, I was amazed it looked amazing Now I don't know if it was the light if it was the luck of the draw Who knows because that does happen some patients just seem to whiten a lot easier than others But it definitely did the trick So I was happy that I didn't have to take back my $150 Amazon light and get a $2,000 one I can leave the link for you guys on the bottom if you would like to know the exact light that I had purchased If you are in my teeth whitening course, you will be having or sorry You will be getting the same one because it does work and hey $150 versus 2,000 That's a lot of money that you're saving a lot of money in your pocket But this is actually it comes with the course anyway, so you've technically already paid for it with the course So no worries about that. It's not something extra that you actually do have to purchase But the moral of the story is do you need a light? No But I definitely invest in getting one and on a side note I think that patients when they see the light it just feels like They're getting the full teeth whitening experience if you're applying the whitening solution You're applying it the same way But if you don't shine the light afterwards, they just don't feel like they're getting that whole oh wow So what kind of whitening did you give me if I'm not getting the light? That's just how things work these days. So definitely invest in the light. That's what I think So thank you guys so much for watching. Let me know if there's any questions and I'll talk to you in the next one
