GLO teeth bleaching made simple
GLO dental whitening uses a sensitivity-free, gentle solution made with hydrogen peroxide, a powerful yet safe ingredient that effectively removes stains and brightens your smile without causing discomfort.
Our GLO treatment includes professional teeth whitening near you at our Alexandria orthodontist office, as well as a take-home GLO teeth whitening kit for you to touch up your smile at home after!
Whitening touch-ups from home
To make sure that you love your smile and achieve your ideal shade of white, Dr. Lu sends you home with a GLO take-home whitening kit to use for the next five days.
Whiten your teeth while you hang out on the couch.
To whiten your teeth at-home, you’ll use the GLO Pro kit to gently brush the gel onto your teeth and insert your GLO mouthpiece. Your GLO controller will alert you when it’s time to remove the mouthpiece. There’s no need for rinsing or wiping, because the gel evaporates as it whitens.
Dr. Lu will tell you how frequently to use the device, and you’ll receive instructions to guide you through the process.
How it works
Pick your perfect shade.
We’ll start by checking your current tooth shade and showing you how many shades brighter you can go. (Spoiler alert: It’s a lot!)
Get prepped for your GLO-up.
First, we’ll give your teeth a gentle cleaning and dry the area. Then, we’ll apply a protective barrier to your gums and a swipe of GLO lip balm to keep your lips comfy.
Time to GLO (literally).
We’ll apply the whitening gel and pop in the GLO mouthpiece for just 8 minutes. The mouthpiece activates the gel with a warming light, helping it penetrate below the enamel surface for deeper, more effective whitening than other surface-level whiteners.
Round 2!
After 8 minutes, we’ll remove the mouthpiece, clean your teeth, and brush on another layer of gel for one more 8-minute session.
GLO brighter + smile BIGGER.
In just 16 minutes, your smile will be noticeably brighter. Plus, we’ll send you home with a professional-grade GLO whitening kit so you can keep the glow going, right from the comfort of your couch.
It’s that simple — and sensitivity-free. Let’s get glowing!
Can I whiten my teeth with braces?
You can whiten your teeth during treatment with InBrace® hidden braces or during clear aligner treatment. Since InBrace is attached to the back surfaces of your teeth, it won’t cause visible discoloration where brackets are attached – and clear aligners are removable, so you’ll simply take them out to get GLOwing.
If you have a type of braces attached to the visible surfaces of your teeth, you’ll want to wait until your braces are removed to whiten your teeth. Otherwise, the area around your brackets will be shades brighter, but the area under your brackets will remain the same.
What causes teeth yellowing or discoloration?
Everyday life can leave its mark on your smile — and that’s completely normal! Teeth discoloration happens for all kinds of reasons, from sipping coffee, tea, or red wine to enjoying richly colored foods. Smoking, certain medications, and the natural aging process can also cause your smile to lose its luster over time.
These stains can settle deep below the surface, making them tough to tackle with regular brushing. That’s where professional teeth whitening comes in to restore your smile’s brilliance!
