Instructions for Crest White Strips

Crest Whitening Strips used twice yearly along with a regular regimen of daily dental hygiene can help to keep your teeth sparkling white between dental visits. Simple to use, they can give your teeth back their sparkle in under a month, brightening your smile with only two applications a day. Strip placement is a quick process, as is its removal. In addition, there's no need to stop everyday activities while the strips do their job.

Instructions

• 1

  Remove a Crest White Strip upper strip from the blue pouch in the package labeled "Upper." Pull the small zigzag slit along the front of the strip open and remove the protective clear backing tape from the strip's surface. Press the side of the strip with the gel on it against your teeth, so the top of the strip runs along your upper gum line. Fold the bottom half of the strip over the bottom of your teeth, pressing it to the rear of your teeth to secure the strip in place.

  Wear the strip on your teeth for 30 minutes, and then remove the strip and discard. Rinse any gel left behind on your teeth from your mouth. Repeat the process a second time that same day, and wear only the upper strips for a full 14 days of use until you run through all of the uppers in the package.

  Apply the lower strips to your teeth after the 14-day upper strip period. Follow the same application process used with the upper strip, folding the strip over the top of your teeth and pressing it to the rear to hold it in place. Rinse after 30 minutes, then repeat later on in the day. Continue with the lower strips until you've emptied the package completely.

  Examine your teeth at the end of the 28-day cycle. If you require more whitening, then repeat the cycle with a second box.
