How to Choose the Best Teeth Whitening Kit for You

Whitening Strips

These Kits comprise teeth whitening strips that are laced with bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide. They are placed on the front side of the teeth and left for a few minutes to act on their surface.

They are safe and easy to use but don’t deliver intense and dramatic results as in-house whitening does.

Whitening Sets

These usually come with a set of whitening products to be used in combination such as a whitening toothpaste, a whitening accelerator, and a rinse. These products work together to enhance the appearance of your teeth and over the course of several days will show significant whitening results.

LED Teeth Whitening Kits

These comprise teeth-whitening gels or liquids along with a tray for application and an LED device that accelerates the whitening action of the active ingredients. The gel is applied on the tray and left to act on teeth and the process is sped up with the aid of an LED bulb. They are recommended to be used for a week, every few months and give intense whitening effects.

Duration

Most whitening kits will promise lasting results but only after daily use. This is one of the reasons why people prefer in-house whitening despite the staggering cost. We want results that are lasting, visible, and quick. A 5 to 10 days of use is convenient as opposed to an everyday commitment.

Intense Results

Most people can’t wait around to see results after 3 months. Many who want teeth whitening, want it fast. This is why long-term and regular use of whitening kits is good for the maintenance of a whiter appearance. Whereas a more robust and effective product is needed for intense results within a few days.

Formula

Teeth whitening products should be safe, and effective. They have to strike a balance between being strong enough to provide effective results while being safe on the enamel. This is why buying from reputable brands is encouraged as they are more likely to have met FDA regulations and have thoroughly tested their products.

Ease Of Use

Using a teeth whitening kit should be easy and simple. Several steps incorporating a line of products, each with its own set of instructions can be hard to follow and difficult to keep up with. Instead, a single easy-to-use product with simple instructions is something users are more willing to incorporate into their daily routines.

Affordability

Teeth whitening kits must be affordable, that is their selling point. Since teeth naturally revert to their original shade or may get stained over time as a result of our lifestyle habits, keeping them white and maintaining that whiteness, may require a reoccurring purchase every few months. This is another reason why it should not feel like you are spending a big chunk of your budget on them.
