Directions for Crest Whitestrips 3D

A bright, white smile reflects health and vitality almost instantly. A gleaming set of teeth is an accessory that goes with any outfit and is always in fashion. However, there are some individuals whose sets of teeth are less than pearly white. Smoking, excessive caffeine consumption and poor nutrition all cause yellowing of the teeth, but with teeth-whitening products like Crest Whitestrips 3D, it's possible to reverse tooth discoloration and restore your natural, beautiful set of white teeth.

Instructions

• 1

  Purchase a package of Crest Whitestrips 3D from your local pharmacy, grocery store or big-box store. Crest Whitestrips 3D are available in a variety of strengths, so choose one that corresponds to your desired tooth brightness and the sensitivity level of your teeth.

• 2

  Locate the upper teeth strips and remove them from packaging. Use only the upper teeth strips for the first 14 days of your whitening effort and only use the lower teeth strips after all the upper teeth strips are done. Take one individual strip and pull the two sides apart. The side with the gel-like substance is the one that is to be placed on teeth.

• 3

  Place the strip straight along the gum line of your upper teeth and firmly press down, avoiding any bubbling in the strip. Depending on the size of your teeth, you may have some excess on the bottom of the strip that you'll need to fold underneath and adhere to the underside of your upper teeth. Keep the strip in place for 30 minutes and then rinse or brush away any lingering gel substance. Perform the procedure twice per day, using a separate strip each time.

• 4

  Repeat the process described in Step 3 exactly, except on the lower set of teeth. Use the strips twice per day for 14 days as you did the upper strips. Keep in mind that you only begin using the lower strips after 14 days, when you've used the upper strips in their entirety.
