ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for bleaching teeth. The method involves heating a dental bleaching solution capable of yielding a bleaching vapor having a concentrated peroxide molecule content when heated until the bleaching vapor is obtained, and thereafter applying the bleaching vapor to a surface of at least one tooth in order to bleach the tooth. The apparatus includes a housing defining a chamber to be partially filled with a bleaching solution, the bleaching solution being capable of yielding a bleaching vapor having a concentrated peroxide content when heated. The apparatus further includes a heating device for heating the bleaching solution partially filling the chamber for generating the bleaching vapor within the chamber in pressurized form; a delivery device connected to the housing for delivering the pressurized bleaching vapor from the chamber to a surface of at least one tooth to be bleached; and a control device operatively associated with the chamber and the delivery device for regulating a delivery of the bleaching vapor to the surface of the tooth.
