Tooth whitening strips


Teeth whitening strips are growing in popularity. In fact the rise in sales for teeth whitening strips is starting to rival the sales of teeth whitening toothpaste. They are relatively inexpensive, can be applied in the privacy of your own home, and seem easy enough to use. So what is the hype about teeth whitening strips? Do they really work better than:
* Teeth Whitening Tooth Paste * Teeth Whitening Kits * Teeth Whitening Gel
Teeth Whitening Strips can be bought in any drugstore. They are made of a very flexible plastic and they stick right to the surface of your teeth. You only apply them to the teeth that show when you smile, meaning you don't have to work to apply them to your hard to reach molars.
Like teeth whitening trays, they are made to be worn for several hours. Because the strength of the carbamide peroxide is half the strength found in bleaching trays, many whitening strips can even be worn overnight. Many people like to wear them while they watch TV, exercise or even sleep.
They take much longer than bleaching kits to achieve the desired results, but if you apply them faithfully, you should notice your smile getting somewhat brighter over time. Some people use them for a two week duration, while others find they need to purchase multiple boxes to achieve any noticeable results. Because they aren't very strong, you will never get the results you would get if you had your teeth professionally whitened. You usually won't even get the same results a teeth whitening system would provide.
Teeth whitening strips do come with a few minor problems. Sometimes they don't stick very well to your teeth. They can fall off at the most inopportune times. If they slide off white you are sleeping, you won't realize it and won't be able to reapply the strips meaning that a whole night of bleaching will have to be repeated. It is also important to make sure your teeth are dry before you apply the strips for teeth bleaching, so they don't slide off your teeth.
A better alternative to the strips is Maximum Teeth Whitening. It contains the same strength of carbamide peroxide that the dentist uses to bleach teeth. This means that you can actually get a professional whitened looking smile at home. Unlike the dentist, Maximum Teeth Whitening is very inexpensive. In fact it costs about 10% of what your dentist would charge and is even less than the cost of many whitening strip kits.
If you are looking for a whiter smile at home, you can try teeth whitening strips, or you can get better results by trying Maximum Teeth Whitening.
