How long does teeth whitening last?
Results vary from person to person, but clinical studies on hydrogen peroxide whitening show that many users maintain a bright smile for up to six months. Regular care, such as regular brushing, flossing, mouthwash, and healthy habits like limiting staining foods, can help prolong the results.
Are whitening strips safe to use?
Yes, whitening strips are safe for most people when used as directed. Studies have shown that they are generally well-tolerated. To avoid discomfort or excessive whitening, it is important to follow the instructions for use and avoid overuse or prolonged use.
How often should you use whitening strips?
Always follow the instructions provided with your whitening strips. More frequent or longer use than recommended may increase the risk of damage to teeth and gums. Adhering to the recommended schedule ensures safe and effective results, without discomfort.
How do whitening strips work?
Whitening strips use hydrogen peroxide to gently remove stains from the surface of your teeth. By penetrating the enamel, the peroxide oxidizes and breaks down stain molecules, resulting in a visibly brighter smile. This process does not damage enamel when used as directed, making whitening strips a safe and effective option for many people.
How long does it take for whitening strips to work?
Most users see visible results after just one use. For optimal results, continue using the strips as directed for a full two-week cycle. As with any new oral care routine, results may vary depending on your enamel and lifestyle habits.

Leave on for 30 to 45 minutes for express treatment or 60 minutes for professional treatment. After removing, rinse your mouth thoroughly.
Can I use whitening strips with braces?
Whitening strips are not recommended with braces. Because they cannot reach the areas under the brackets, the whitening may be uneven. Furthermore, the strips need a smooth, even surface to adhere properly, which the brackets can hinder. For best results, wait until your braces are removed before starting your whitening treatment.
Can whitening strips be used during pregnancy?
It is not recommended to use teeth whitening products during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you have any doubts or are considering teeth whitening during this period, it is best to consult your doctor or dentist first.
