How Effectively do Whitening Strips Work?

By Sean Walters

Very few cosmetic products seem to do exactly as they say for a low price. I've used products like these on every part of my body, but nothing seems to work as well a whitening strips to make a smile bright.

These strips are great, but let's take a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages to start.

White strips need to be used correctly to work. Make sure they cover your teeth, and don't overlap on your gums too much. If they cover your gums, they can burn them.

The main chemical that works the wonders for these strips is hydrogen peroxide. It oxidizes the stains you have accumulated on your teeth, making them white again. The more chemical on the strip, the more powerful they are.

After someone has gone through a cycle of them, few people have any problems. Those who do have trouble either have sensitivity issues with their teeth or gum burning. This is something to think about if you've had trouble with these before. The feeling is a little different when you first use your strips (it means the product is working), but anything that really feels badly should make you stop.

Bleaching your teeth does have some limitations. These strips work the best on yellow stains, and you will be able to see results as soon as a week after trying your first one.

These strips also only cover the main teeth people see. This is not a big problem for most people, but if you have a big smile these strips might not give you enough coverage. A dentist can take care of the missing areas.

There are a ton of different strengths you can purchase. You need to decide how much your teeth are stained to decide which one is right for you.

The best part about this is, so many people have tried these things and they work. I can't guarantee they will, but millions of people can testify that these things will make your smile whiter. Good luck. - 29879
