Teeth whitening products have dramatically increased in popularity over the past decade. Crest’s latest take-home teeth whitening product is the Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal. Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal is based on similar teeth whitening formulas used by dentists, but is designed to be used in the home once a day for 30 minutes for a time period of two weeks.

How Does Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal Work?

Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal consists of thin, plyable plastic strips that are coated with a teeth whitening gel that contains hydrogen peroxide. The strips are applied to your teeth along your smile line and use their gel to remove the stain build-up beneath your teeth enamel. The Advanced seal designed has been improved over earlier models enough thtat it will hold even if you drink water while wearing the Whitestrips. The Crest Whitestrips limit your exposure to peroxide in order to prevent irritating your gums, and they will not whiten any crowns, caps, veneers, or fillings, but should not be used by patients who wear braces. The strips are also not designed for children who are under 12 years of age.

How Do You Use Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal?

There are three basic steps to using the Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal. First you need to remove the whitestrip from its foil patch. Crest reccomends that you do not brush your teeth prior to using the white strips. After you remove it from the packaging, peel the strip from its backing. Then, apply the gel side of the strip to your teeth. It should adhere to your teeth. You will need to align the whitestrip with your gum line and lightly press down on it to ensure it has solid contact with your teeth. Then, fold the leftover portion of the strip behind your teeth to keep it in place. After you start using Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal, you will need to continue using for 30 minutes a day for at least two weeks to start seeing results. If your teeth have not acheived the desired whiteness after two weeks, you will want to consider repeating the process for another two week cycle. If at any time your gums or teeth start to become too sensitive, you should cease using the product and seek advice from your dentist.
