Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Whitening Strips
Applying whitening strips correctly is key to achieving the best results. Based on typical product instructions like those for Crest 3D white Whitestrips, here's how:
| Step | Action | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Peel | Peel the whitening strip from its backing liner. |
| 2 | Start Low | Apply the lower strip first. |
| 3 | Apply to Front | Using a mirror, apply the gel side of the strip onto your front teeth. |
| 4 | Align & Press | Align the straight edge of the strip with your gumline. Press gently with your finger pads for 2-3 seconds onto the front side of your teeth to secure it. |
| 5 | Fold Over | Fold over teeth... (This secures the strip to the back of your teeth). |
| 6 | Wear & Remove | Wear the strips for the recommended time specified by the product instructions, then remove and discard them. |
By carefully following these steps, you ensure the strip covers the tooth surface effectively, allowing the whitening gel to work. Remember to always follow the specific instructions provided with your chosen whitening strip product for wear time and frequency.
