Directions on Usage of Crest Pro Effects Whitestrips

Crest Pro Effects Whitestrips have now been renamed Crest 3D White Whitestrips according to the Crest website. The thin, flexible strips are coated with a special peroxide-based whitening gel that removes stains but is safe on tooth enamel. Unlike other teeth-whitening products, the Crest strips also include a patented Advance Seal technology that keeps the strips from slipping while you are wearing them. The website suggests applying the strips twice a day for thirty minutes and promises that you will start seeing whiter teeth after three days with full results after 20 days of using the strips.

Instructions

• 1

  Open the foil pouch and remove two Whitestrips. Peel the Whitestrips from the plastic backing. Bend the plastic backing slowly to avoid taking off any of the gel.

• 2

  Apply the gel side of the lower strip to your bottom teeth. Align the top of the strip to the gum line and fold the rest of the strip behind the teeth to keep it in place. Apply the upper gel strip to your top teeth in the same way.

• 3

  Press the strips gently to make sure the gel is in contact with all your teeth to ensure uniform whitening.

• 4

  Wear the white strips for 30 minutes. Wearing the strips for longer than 30 minutes can result in tooth or gum sensitivity. You can drink water while you are wearing the strips but do not eat anything as this will affect whitening results.

• 5

  Remove the strips from your teeth and discard. Gently brush or rinse your teeth to remove any extra gel that has remained in your mouth.

• 6

  Repeat this procedure so that you are wearing the strips twice a day for 30 minutes each time. You can repeat the procedure immediately or wait until later in the day.
