## [A Solidified Legacy: The History of VALO Dental Curing Lights](https://blog.ultradent.com/history-of-valo-curing-lights?hsLang=en)

[Ultradent Products Inc.](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/ultradent-products-inc) | October 17, 2019

 Ten Years of the VALO™ Dental Curing Light 10 years, countless hours of innovative research, tens-of-thousands of smiles helped, and more than two dozen renowned trade awards—Ultradent Products, Inc.'s VALO line of curing lights is celebrating a decade of industry-leading advancements. "We didn't get here for free. A lot of people worked so hard to get to this point, and I always feel a sense of urgency to stay ahead of the pack," says Neil Jessop, Ultradent's Vice President of Research and Development.

 Sending a VALO™ Grand Dental Curing Light to Space When Ultradent started manufacturing the VALO dental curing light in 2009, we aimed to produce the best curing light on the market, crafting each from a single piece of aircraft grade aluminum. So, it felt like destiny when the aeronautical DNA took over and we let a VALO light take flight. To mark the VALO curing light line's 10-year anniversary, we sent one to space. Seriously.

 Tooth Sensitivity During Whitening Treatments Many dental patients experience tooth sensitivity but don't know how to manage it. Some patients experience sensitivity to hot temperatures, while others experience sensitivity to cold. Many patients experience sensitivity after a filling and a few for what may feel like no reason at all!

## [How to Make Nearly Invisible Teeth Aligners for a Simple Teeth Straightening Solution](https://blog.ultradent.com/how-to-make-clear-aligners-with-thermo-clone-impression-material?hsLang=en)

[Ultradent Products Inc.](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/ultradent-products-inc) | September 04, 2019

 The bottom line is that dentists aren't just dentists—you're also business owners! But many dentists refer out their orthodontic business, essentially giving away the massive revenue that this part of dental practice offers. However, the simplicity of clear aligners has provided a way for you to easily and affordably offer effective orthodontic solutions to your patients. Clear aligners have swept the country and now account for a sizeable chunk of the orthodontic market every year. Because they have a nearly invisible look, are low maintenance, and are easily removable they continue to attract patients as the market for an alternative to brackets continues to grow.

 A Fluoride Varnish with Benefits That Last Dentists treat patients who complain about sensitive teeth every day, and (as diligently as people may try to avoid them) sugary drinks and candy have become ubiquitous! Given these realities, it's no wonder that fluoride treatments have become so popular. But, before you begin fluoride treatments how should you determine what to use? Is fluoride toothpaste or mouthwash sufficient? Should you use a fluoride varnish? How should you choose which fluoride varnish to use and why? The answers might surprise you.

 "It is only with an open hand to give that one has the ability to receive." -Dr. Dan Fischer, founder and CEO of Ultradent Products, Inc. Throughout Ultradent's 40 years in the dental industry, Dr. Dan Fischer, the company's CEO and founder, has made it a point to never forget his grandfather's sage advice that "It is only with an open hand to give that one has the ability to receive." Perhaps this is what influenced the adoption of Care as one of Ultradent's five Core Values: Integrity, Care, Hard Work, Innovation, and Quality. For Ultradent, care extends far beyond finding a cure for caries, improving oral health globally, or promoting the practice of minimally invasive dentistry throughout the world. In fact, Ultradent and Dr. Fischer's commitment to caring and giving back has led to quite a few unique and special opportunities to better the world around us, both close to home and abroad. This is also true of Ultradent's flagship, world-renowned tooth whitening brand, Opalescence™ whitening, which has been the industry leader in professional whitening since its introduction to the market 29 years ago.

 Dr. Dan Fischer, founder and CEO of Ultradent Products, Inc., and creator of its flagship, industry-leading tooth whitening brand Opalescence Whitening Systems, can frequently be heard saying, "There is one human health that will always, always be more important than dental health, and that's mental health." Upon hearing this, one might wonder what dentistry has to do with mental health and why the founder of an international dental company is talking about it.

 Despite the challenge some dentists find in getting their patients excited about regular six-month cleanings, most clinicians can find a patient of almost any age that's enthusiastic and interested in a whiter, brighter smile! With that in mind, what better way to attract new patients—and subsequently, increase practice profits—than by implementing a turn-key teeth whitening sample program sure to get results? Ultradent had this strategy in mind when creating the newest packaging for its award-winning, disposable, convenient teeth whitening system—Opalescence Go™ whitening. The innovators behind the industry-leading Opalescence™ Whitening Systems prioritized the point of view of busy patients and clinicians when they designed Opalescence Go whitening's new look and feel—especially when it comes to sampling.

## [The Power of a Smile: How Facial Expressions Shape Mental Health](https://blog.ultradent.com/the-power-of-a-smile-how-facial-expressions-shape-mental-health?hsLang=en)

[Ultradent Products Inc.](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/ultradent-products-inc) | October 06, 2025

 Does smiling make us happy, or do we smile because we are happy? How much can our facial expressions influence our psychological health? These are questions scientists have asked for hundreds of years.

## [Dentistry Decoded: Insights from R&D—Curing Lights](https://blog.ultradent.com/dentistry-decoded-insights-from-rd-curing-lights?hsLang=en)

[Daniel Lewis](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/daniel-lewis) | March 12, 2024

 Not all dental curing lights are created equal and it’s crucial to understand the differentiating factors between lights before investing in one for your office. Irradiance vs power, beam size, even the tools used to measure light outputs all play major roles in how a curing light will function. To find true quality and efficiency in a light, a user must be able to wade through the waves of false and misleading claims often made in the world of dental curing light advertising—Ultradent’s Sr. VP of Research & Development, Neil Jessop, delves into these topics and more in this edition of Dentistry Decoded: Insights from R&D.

## [Irradiance vs. Power: Curing Light Performance](https://blog.ultradent.com/irradiance-vs.-power-curing-light-performance?hsLang=en)

[Daniel Lewis](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/daniel-lewis) | October 05, 2022

 As curing light technology improves, dentists are consistently sold on irradiance (mw per cm2) as being the defining factor in beam effectiveness. While there is no doubt irradiance adds value, it does not tell the full story of how well a light will cure various materials. Irradiance tests typically only show the irradiance of a very small portion of the light. Measuring the power distributed over the entire beam tells a more comprehensive story of its curing capabilities.
