I got custom trays from eBay and used the bleaching gel. I did it for 2 months straight because my teeth were so dingy. I didn\u2019t notice how white my teeth were getting and now when I look in the mirror my smile looks ridiculous. Now I want to darken my teeth. I\u2019m wondering if there is something I can buy to darken them up. I\u2019m embarrassed to go to my dentist any time soon because she will notice right away that I did something with my teeth. What are my options for making them darker? Thanks. Jilian<\/p>\n<p>Jilian \u2013 It sounds like the <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/free-teeth-whitening-plano.html\">free teeth whitening<\/a> you received from your sister was professional-strength bleaching gel that really worked well.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few things everyone should consider before teeth whitening:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you want whiter teeth with at-home treatment, a dentist will recommend that you bleach them two weeks at a time.<\/li>\n<li>After you finish each whitening session, the bleaching gel continues to break down stains in your teeth.<\/li>\n<li>After each session you will be instructed to wait at least a week in between for your tooth color to stabilize. If your teeth aren\u2019t bright enough at that point, whitening sessions can continue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Based on your results, you probably whitened your teeth without waiting for the color to stabilize. That\u2019s likely the reason that you didn\u2019t notice how white your teeth were getting.<\/p>\n<p>What can you do about it now? Give it time. Your teeth will pick up stains and their brightness will be a little less noticeable. Bleaching gel lightens the natural pigmentation of your teeth. So you\u2019ll still have a super bright smile, but in time, it won\u2019t be so stark white. Don\u2019t do touch-up whitening treatments until you\u2019re absolutely sure you need it.<\/p>\n<p>In the future, keep in mind that it\u2019s not safe to whiten your teeth for two months straight without the supervision of a dentist. It\u2019s possible to over-bleach your teeth and damage your tooth enamel or cause your teeth to become discolored.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s best for whitening to be supervised by a dentist who can monitor the progress.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/meet-dr-lacy.html\">Plano, TX female dentist<\/a> Dr. Miranda Lacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got free teeth whitening from my sister and now my teeth are too white.
