On fully integrated im- plants, obviously whitening will have no effect. Whitening is a totally safe procedure for both natural teeth and those replaced with implants. _Technology making the difference MeToo is the gentlest, yet most complete approach to whitening on the market today. A system created to give you the flexibility to mix and match elements from its portfolio for a superb bespoke result for each and every one of your patients. Not every patient wants to take the chairside route, so Acteon have given them that choice within this system. There is a pure take home kit – MeToo Start – which puts patients totally in con- trol of how they want their treatment to work. The first treatment is applied in the practice waiting room to increase motiva- tion and ensure each patient knows ex- actly what to do. And then they have the choice of three formulations; 11 per cent night, 17 per cent night or 21 per cent day. Whitening simulation software has just been launched to work alongside MeToo. You simply download it from the MeToo website – www.metoo-teeth- whitening.com - to your PC or Mac and show your patient how he or she would look with whiter teeth. It is a tool that is sure to encourage many patients to undergo whitening and it also validates the results they can expect thanks to the before and after images.
