Teeth Whitening Strip Results?
Whitening strips whitens your smile on the go via prefilled, disposables trays. Its effective and easy to use. The disadvantages with it, is that it will take longer for a great result and sometimes it does not work at all. Rather than heading to the local cosmetic counter or shopping mall in search of teeth whiteners, star with a dental check up. This way, the cause of discoloration can be diagnosed. Whitening products only work on natural tooth enamel, not on crowns, veneers, bonding...

Frequency is the Key.
Great question! There are so many different choices for at home whitening that it can be confusing to choose the one best for you. If you have a dentist, visit them first in order to know if you are even a good candidate for teeth whitening or take a picture and show us here. Between the two products you have listed it just depends on which one you prefer based on the administration method. Strips can be a little clumbsy, but if you have straight teeth you can usually...

White Strips Can Work
Tooth whitening continues to improve with time. It is one of the safest treatments we do. However, there are limitations. Over the counter whitening works great for young adults and adults who are disciplined and don't need much to lighten and brighten. They do wonders for brown spots on front teeth as well. They can be messy and uncomfortable. There are many products on the market. I recommend either Crest White Strips or Tres White (which is a take...

Crest Whitestrips vs. Zoom Whitening
Most at home whitening products work by using the same chemicals to bleach the teeth. The over the counter products such as Crest Whitestrips are limited in the concentration of bleach that they can sell over the counter. This means that the results you get from these products is both limited and slow. In office whitening products such as Zoom use a stronger concentration of bleach and speed up the process by adding a plasma arc light to the bleach. This is by far the...

Do white strips work?
White strips are a polyethylene strip which has hydrogen peroxide impregnanted it in. It is placed on the teeth and needs to remain in contact with them to whiten. Each strip only is a certain length and may no even cover all the front teeth especially if you have some crowding. I would recommend you look at an in office whitening system like Zoom or Kor Deep Bleaching to help whiten your teeth.

Whitening Strips vs. Zoom In-Office Whitening
All whitening systems (strips, gel, etc.) use pretty much the same chemicals to get the job done. The differences between the different brands of strips will be minor. The advantages of in-office whitening over do-it-your-self home kits are these. White strips work great on straight teeth. Zoom and other "like-Zoom" products work on straight and crooked teeth. White strips take weeks to get their results (usually not a problem) while Zoom gives you a result in one hour. You monitor...
