Curious about teeth whitening? Get the information you’re looking for here! Say cheese! Another snapshot, another photo of you smiling with lips together. You wish you could pose with a confident smile, showing your teeth. But you feel uncomfortable about the shade of yellow your teeth have become.
You can achieve a radiant smile through teeth whitening. A bright smile can give you confidence and leave a lasting impression on others. There are a few options for brightening up your smile.
At-Home Teeth Whitening Kits
These kits have gained popularity because of their convenience and affordability. You can find them in just about any grocery store, local pharmacy, big box store, or online. They typically consist of whitening gels or strips applied directly to the teeth. Usually, you place the strips on your teeth for just a few minutes, making it a quick process that doesn’t take much time out of your day.
While these kits can produce noticeable results over time, there are some drawbacks to consider. First, the whitening agents may have lower strength than professional treatments. And the process may require repeated applications over a more extended period to achieve the desired effect.
Also, manufacturers produce strips as a “one size fits all.” But not all smiles are the same! Without a custom fit, some active ingredients will most likely come into contact with tissues in your mouth. This can cause gum irritation and sensitivity.
Overuse of whitening strips may cause tooth sensitivity. Using the product too frequently or leaving it in your mouth too long can cause your teeth to ache.
Opalescence Go™ 10 Day Kit
Opalescence Go™ prefilled whitening trays pair professional strength teeth whitening with unrivaled convenience! The innovative UltraFit™ tray easily conforms to any smile and is ready to use right out of the box. It’s fast. It’s simple. It’s effective. Your search for the perfect teeth whitening solution is over.
Over-the-Counter Whitening Products
Over-the-counter (OTC) products include whitening toothpaste, mouthwash, and whitening pens. Like at-home teeth whitening kits, these products are also widely available in stores and online. OTC whitening products contain mild whitening agents. They serve a purpose after professional treatment, to help maintain the results. They might not be as effective in treating severe discoloration or provide dramatic whitening results. You might see some slight whitening effect, but it may take several weeks of product use.
