The desire for white teeth compels patients to buy teeth whitening products that offer both fast results and are easy to use. Increasingly popular are disposable teeth whitening products such as dissolvable strips, which highlight a clear consumer demand - patients are looking for products which are simple and quick; making them ideal for use on the go.

Ever the pioneers, Ultradent introduced Opalescence Go! providing patients with a product that is convenient, comfortable and ready to use.

Staying true to its name, Opalescence Go! is perfect for travel, top-ups and quick starts; but what inspired the revolutionary tooth whitening product? Ultradent’s, Dr Fischer explains in more detail:

“We were continually looking at the whitening marketplace and listening to the needs and feedback from our customers. When the over-the-counter whitening strip products came onto the market, which was very well received, we saw that there was a great need for disposability—that the customer placed great value on not having to get custom trays made, not having to load the tray, and not having to clean their trays afterward. That was a very big deal.

However, with the strips, we also saw that they only whitened the front teeth and were difficult for people to get them to stay in place or wear for even a short amount of time comfortably. That’s when we set out to create a disposable, pre-filled whitening tray that would offer whitening coverage to all of the teeth on the upper and lower arches with increased comfort and adaptability for the patient. It was a long endeavour with several incarnations, but we knew we got it right when we introduced Opalescence Go whitening with the UltraFit™ tray to our customers. It provides a fabulous level of comfort and it’s a great, convenient way to whiten.”
