Pre power bleach

Emax v. Empress v. Feldspathic

Criteria for Empress use over e.max is:

1) If patient wants B0+ final shade
2) Ruddy Complexion
3) Grey prep shade

Mainly because most of my patients want shade B 0+ and e.Max tends to grey out when the shades are this light, especially with ruddy complexions.

After wax up can do a trial smile.
