I made the mistake of neglecting my team for most of my childhood and teen years, and now at 19 I'm looking into methods to whiten my teeth, such as in-office bleaching, bleach trays, White Strips, etc. Does anyone have any advice on these different products, but more importantly, are they permanent?
--------------------
teeth are LESS white due to coffee, tea, smoking, red wine, and just food. So AFTER bleaching, if you do any of these, your teeth will darken up a bit. I give my patients the bleaching tray; I've been using the same pack of bleach syringes myself since 2002 (as I only touch mine up ever 3-6 months or so). That way you can just keep doing it. If you need work, be advised...esp if front teeth need white fillings. If poss, do the bleaching FIRST then the dentist can do the work to MATCH where the bleaching got to. if you do the white fillings first, and then bleach, your fillings will not lighten!! you could get the dr to do the fillings really light and then HOPE to bleach the rest of the teeth to that level, but that's a bit shady. -In office is really expensive cuz you're taking up chair time. I don't do this, and don't recommend it unless you're like "Oh, i'm getting married next week; what do do?" -Trays, I think are the best, as mentioned above. -crest strips are OK; you may notice a difference but not always super dramatic. they are better for maintaining whitening after you had it done.
