Over the Counter Gels and Strips - Should You Pay for Them?

By Jason Myers

For those interested in wearing whiter teeth, one of the most favorite options is over the counter gels and strips. While they are not cheap since they are usually between $15-50, depending on what you purchase, they could be a good choice if you're bent on undergoing teeth whitening. Of course, before you decide to try these options, you may want to know just a bit more about them.

The gels that you can purchase over the counter normally are a gel that is clear and peroxide based. You just use a small brush to apply the gel to your teeth. Usually you end up putting on the gel a couple of times each day, and this is done for about fourteen days at a time. You often begin to see the results in just a few days, and once you are done, the results will last for a couple of months. These gels are fairly inexpensive, only costing about $15-20.

Whitening strips are a bit different. They are thin strips that are almost not visible to to naked eye. They normally contain some whitening gel on them, just like the gel you employ with the brush. You can employ these strips 2 times daily for about 30 minutes at a time. They too also provide results within several days and the results will last for a few months at a time. These strips are more expensive though, costing around $20-50.

Both options make reasonably good teeth whitening choices that can be admiinistered at home. They offer reasonable results and quick effect too.

Although they won't provide you with professional results, for the price, they do offer you a teeth whitening option that is affordable, while providing more significant results than just a whitening toothpaste will. - 29879
