Have u looked at the other thread for this? CREST whitening stripes seem to be all the rage. Available online. Research it well though. TOOTHSMITH has a lot to say about it. I suggest u search his messages. x

i remember seeing a post, or maybe a post with a link to a web site that gave instructions for making your own teeth whitener.

I only remember it because it said to use Hydrogen Peroxide (8%) BP, which is what I use for mouthwash. You can get it from the chemist and it comes in different strengths.

Someone asked about this on the previous page.

They use proper dentists, so it's legal, and safe.

If you are suitable, but want a quicker result, something like Zoom or Brightsmile, backed up with the tray and gel systems will produce an instant 'wow', but the problem with the laser systems ion their own is that the results can fade pretty quickly. Not all practices do this method though. I don't.

Hurrah, today I got the date for my braces to come off. I'd like a whitening treatment and, I'm sure you'll understand, would like an instant 'wow' - and after 18 months as an adult brace wearer I dare anyone to call me shallow on that one! I would only want a treatment from a dental surgery.

I'm not so struck on the idea of ongoing tray and gel systems as I'll have to keep using a retainer and don't want to faff around with both. Would probably get mixed up and melt my (expensive) retainer!

I've seen local dentists offering Zoom, Britesmile, etc. What are the options on these types of systems, are there differences, and what should I expect to pay?

Apologies if this has already been covered but it is a very long thread!

I find that after I've cleaned them with my sonic brush they return to their post pola white.
