Crest Whitestrips are a great way to whiten your teeth. They come in many different forms, but all of them work the same way. Crest Whitestrips are strips that contain hydrogen peroxide, a bleaching agent common among many teeth whitening products. Hydrogen peroxide is a very effective whitener.
Teeth whitening products traditionally contained abrasive materials which were designed to scrub the teeth; the idea was to remove any discoloring particles. The teeth whitening product essentially functioned as sandpaper for the teeth. The teeth were supposed to return to their natural white color, but it was soon discovered that many people did not naturally have white teeth.
Hydrogen peroxide came along to solve this problem. This was a whole new approach to teeth whitening. Instead of scrubbing the teeth, hydrogen peroxide bleached them; instead of removing the discoloring particles, it stained them white. This was found to be much more effective than the traditional whiteners. Now, every teeth whitening product except whitening toothpaste contains hydrogen peroxide.
Whitestrips are made with an adhesive material which is designed to stick to the teeth. It will last for at least the whole thirty minutes of treatment in all the products except the Daily Whitening Multicare and the Daily Whitening Multicare with Tartar Control products, which will last at least the whole five minutes of treatment.
Crest Whitestrips work exceptionally well for teeth whitening products. They come in both over-the-counter and non-over-the-counter varieties, and there are different strengths of each. They contain anywhere from six percent hydrogen peroxide to fourteen percent.
Despite their great uses, Crest Whitestrips have some problems, too. First, since they lay flat across the teeth, they do not get into the cracks and grooves in between the teeth. This leaves the user with a type of “zebra” effect. Second, the Whitestrips are not made with great adhesive material, so they slide off the teeth very easily. Therefore, users are prohibited from doing much with their mouths (eating, drinking, smoking) if they want the strips to stay on the teeth. Crest came out with a product which stays on the teeth better, called Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal.
Because they are strips, the location of the Whitestrips on the teeth is easy to control. Therefore, users can avoid touching the gums with them, which can avoid tissue damage. Even though they are not perfect, Crest Whitestrips are some of the best teeth whitening products available.
