I think we can all agree that no one likes yellow teeth. But sometimes it’s not really feasible (or affordable) to make that regular trip to the dentist for teeth whitening.
That’s why it’s incredibly handy to have an easy at-home solution up your sleeve.
Not only do they feature the same ingredients used by dentists, but each strip also contains the highest level of active whitening ingredients in over-the-counter whitening (if you want to get technical, they have 6 per cent hydrogen peroxide).
This is how easy they are to use:
Remove each strip from the packaging
Each strip comes in a little foil packet, which, thanks to some handy tears and helpful arrows, is easy to open.
Just tear each packet vertically and horizontally and remove the strip.
Viola!
Start on your lower teeth
Align the strip so it’s centred on your bottom row of teeth, and lined up with your gum line. Once you’ve got the positioning right, press the strip into your teeth and fold the excess behind the back of your teeth.
Be sure to work quickly, as once the strip touches your saliva, it’ll start dissolving.
Repeat on your top teeth
Get a new strip and repeat the process for your top teeth, making sure the strip is centred, lined up with your gum line and pressed in firmly.
Hang out for 10 minutes
As mentioned, the strips will start dissolving quickly, and it’ll take anywhere between five and ten minutes for the strips to dissolve completely.
Don’t worry if it feels a bit gooey – that’s totally normal. After a few minutes, it’ll completely dissolve and your teeth will be strip-free. Convenient, right?
Besides whitening your teeth, the strips also work to give you instant fresh breath and help to kill the bacteria that causes gingivitis.
Oh, and if you want a whiter smile even faster, you can safely use the strips twice a day.
