I got 6 boxes of free teeth whitening with an online purchase. It sounded exciting because I\u2019ve always wanted to whiten my teeth, but I wasn\u2019t sure if it was worth it to spend $30 to $40 dollars on strips. I started using the free ones 6 weeks ago. For the first 2 weeks, I started wearing them every night for 30 minutes just as the instructions said I should but I didn\u2019t see any results. So I bumped up the time to an hour for and I am still not seeing anything different. I want to stretch out the time that I wear them and I am wondering if it\u2019s okay to wear them for the whole night. Thx Kip<\/p>\n

Kip – You should only wear the whitening strips for the instructed time. If you wear them overnight, unless they are made to stay secure, they will probably come off of your teeth. Even if you receive teeth bleaching gel from a dentist, it should only we kept in contact with your teeth for the amount of time instructed.<\/p>\n

Keeping whitening strips or bleaching gel in contact with your teeth for too long can burn your gums or cause your teeth to become very sensitive. It is possible to over-whiten your teeth, which can cause discoloring.<\/p>\n

If you have been using whitening strips for six weeks and have seen no results at all, they probably aren\u2019t any good at all. Although whitening strips will brighten your teeth more slowly than whitening from the dentist, you should see some improvement.<\/p>\n

It is not unusual for free teeth bleaching kits not to work at all, unless you receive free whitening from a dentist. If you want whitening strips that work, it\u2019s best to buy some that contain carbamide peroxide<\/a>. This is the whitening ingredient in professional gel, but the strips will contain less of it.<\/p>\n

Have you asked your dentist about teeth whitening? Some dentists provide it to customers who keep their regularly scheduled appointments for cleanings and exams. If your dentist doesn\u2019t provide it you may be surprised at how he or she can make it affordable for you.<\/p>\n
