Before buying your next box of teeth whitening strips, consider these things.

fittingly

You want your strips to completely cover your teeth and not ride up to your gums, which can cause gum sensitivity. In addition, their compatibility should be laborious. As you go about your day, waiting for it to be time to remove the strips, they must not slip and slide around your mouth.

Coverage

While whitening your gums isn’t necessary (since you can barely see them), your teeth whitening should still cover a good percentage of your teeth. After you apply the strip, smile and look in the mirror. Does the strip touch all the teeth you see in your normal smile? If not, it’s time to try another brand.

Ease of use

Whitening strips should be simple. Apply the product, wait a certain amount of time and remove it. If the teeth whitening strips require other steps or seem difficult to use, try another brand.

Feelings

If you have sensitive teeth or gums, look for products that will cause you the least sensitivity. Usually, hydrogen peroxide is too strong for sensitive teeth, so try coconut oil. Don’t suffer through a product if it burns your gums or hurts your teeth.

Length of wear

Most strips require at least 30 minutes of wear to get the best results. If you have sensitive teeth or don’t have enough time for teeth whitening, look for products that don’t require a lot of wear.
