How Teeth Whitening Strips Work
Teeth whitening strips deliver low-concentration bleaching agents—like hydrogen peroxide or urea—directly to the enamel surface. Unlike trays or custom molds, strips conform easily to your teeth and can be applied anywhere, anytime.
- Prep: Brush and dry your teeth.
- Apply: Affix strip to upper/lower teeth.
- Wait: Leave on for the manufacturer’s recommended time.
- Rinse: Remove strip and rinse away residual gel.
Most users see noticeable results within 7–14 days, with effects lasting up to 12 months when paired with proper oral hygiene.
Safety & Sensitivity Tips
- Not for under-18s, pregnant or breastfeeding women.
- Avoid crowns, veneers & dentures.
- Consult your dentist if you have gum disease or extreme sensitivity.
- Limit wear time—overuse can irritate gums.
- Rinse or brush 30 minutes post-treatment to minimize enamel abrasion.
2025 Trends in Home Whitening
