People are always interested in getting their teeth whitened, but they are often turned off by professional teeth bleaching prices. You can end up spending lots of money if you have your teeth professionally whitened often, or you have custom made teeth whitening trays created. As a result of high professional teeth bleaching prices, the popularity of over the counter teeth whitening products has skyrocketed. The question is, does cheaper equal better. A few over the counter teeth lightening products include:
- Crest White strips Dental Whitening System
- Teeth lightening Gum
- Rembrandt Teeth lightening System
Crest whitening strips and other teeth lightening strips are merely thin pieces of plastic that are coated with a thin film of a bleaching agent, such as carbamide peroxide. These flexible strips adhere to your teeth and allow the dosage of whitener to be applied. While these strips are gentle and fairly easy to use, they don’t give the same results as teeth bleaching kits. Sometimes they don’t bond to the teeth very well and have to be reapplied. They are relatively inexpensive.
