So, you have finally decided to use whitestrips. That’s great news!
The next question is, do you know how to use whitestrips? After all, they are health products, so knowing how to apply them correctly will determine whether or not you get the results you want. Apply them to your teeth in just three steps and let them work their magic.
Step 1: Dry your teeth
First, you have to make sure that your teeth are ready for the
whitening strips. Dry your teeth so that nothing is left behind, but do not
brush them. The simple reason for this is that toothpaste can cause
irritation once you apply the whitening strips. You can floss, but no more than
that.
Step 2: Apply the whitening strips
This is the exciting part. Take the bag of whitening strips and
remove the plastic packaging. Can you see the whitening gel? That is what you
are going to apply to your teeth. There are two strips you can use: a longer and
a shorter strip.
Take the longer strip and apply the gel side to your upper
teeth, right along the gum line. Press the strip down and seal it to your
teeth. Fold the rest of the strip behind your teeth, making sure it is firm but
comfortable. Do the same with the shorter strip, but this time apply it to your
lower teeth. Leave the strips in place for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Remove the whitening strips
When you have worn the strips for the indicated time, remove them from your teeth and throw them away. Remember that you cannot use the same strips more than once.
There is no harm in brushing your teeth 30 minutes after removing the strips. Although this is not necessary, it is recommended as it helps to remove any bleaching gel that might still be on your teeth.
That’s it!
