(laser teeth whitening)

The second most common type of home teeth whitening is using whitening strips. (laser teeth whitening) The main lure of this home teeth whitening option is the strips' simplicity of use, they're easy to apply and no preparation is necessary. Again, everybody loves shortcuts, right? Unfortunately, once again that's exactly the type of teeth whitening you end up getting! Let me explain... (laser teeth whitening)

Strips that stick on your teeth usually consist of an upper strip and a lower strip each pressed against the outer surface of your teeth. (laser teeth whitening) Now think about this for a second...Are your teeth completely flat? Of course not - they have recesses and grooves, particularly between each tooth. (laser teeth whitening) Well imagine you're painting a fence, and you just slapped paint on the outside, without taking the time to paint in the grooves between each wooden board. (laser teeth whitening) That fence would look pretty funny wouldn't it? Nicely painted on the outside, but in the grooves between each wooden board, still dark and dingy, with all of the old paint showing.(laser teeth whitening)

When you use teeth whitening strips, (laser teeth whitening) the same thing can easily happen to your teeth if you're not careful. (laser teeth whitening) The whiter your teeth become, the more pronounced those dingy cracks seem! Eventually it can end up looking like you have small gaps between your teeth. Definitely not the desired result! (laser teeth whitening)
