What Are The Teeth Whitening Strips And How Are They Useful?

Teeth whitening strips are thin strips of polyethelene coated with hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide are bleaching agents. The strips are easy to use and have become popular as an at-home teeth-whitening method and as an alternative to other teeth bleaching products like toothpaste, gels, trays and kits. The makers of these products claim that usage of the strips over a long period of time will show results worth noticing. There are a number of companies offering strips for home tooth whitening.

These strips can be bought over the counter and the cost is affordable compared to other teeth bleaching methods. You can just use this strip on your front tooth. The strength of the bleaching agent used in the strips is pretty low so you can apply them for a long time and not cause much damage. But before use read the instructions as some of the products may be high strength. They are relatively less effective than whitening trays and gels. But the simplicity and convenience has made the strips well liked among the general population who hate to go to a dentist.

These strips take a long time to produce any noticeable difference to your smile. People who have used the product faithfully over the recommended period or longer have found some difference. But you can never get the results that you would get with teeth whitening trays or dental office treatment. The reason is of course because of the strength of the bleaching agent used and how it is applied. Higher strength bleaching agents can be applied only under supervision of a dentist. These are only available under prescription.

Here are some of the best teeth whitening strips available in the market today. Crest dominates the tooth whitening strip market with a large range of strips available in different strengths and different pack sizes.
