This was super helpful. First of all I didn't know I had to dry my teeth. My strips slid all over the place. Lesson learnt. Good to know why we shouldn't brush beforehand with fluoride. Thanks
Only thing I'm unsure of is how many days I do this. Like should I do it 12 days in a row and stop for a month. Or like what is the process, I'm confused.
This video was super helpful. I just put on the strips. The box doesn’t have good instructions. I put it on right brushing my teeth and also touching my gums. Good to know for my second Aplication. Thank you

@@HoodGrownGeniusyes, until you've achieved the results you want. According to the label, use the entire box until it's gone, just like your antibiotic prescription 😂
@@jayreyli yes they should stay whitened for about 6 months. As for using the strips, you would use them until they're gone unless you achieve results first. So once your teeth are white enough, you can stop using the strips.
I did this completely wrong haha. I watched this video after putting on my first strip. I brushed my teeth before putting them on, put the short one up top, and my mouth is still pretty wet with saliva. Good to know for my next attempt tho

Yes! Use multiple strips to cover your smile line. Alternatives you can think about getting whitening trays. opalescence whitening trays are great over the counter options.
I’ve learned all this through trial and error through the years. I wish I found this video sooner. Another tip put the bottom on first if you’re the type to salivate quickly
Yep! And the box didn't specify to avoid touching the gums, to dry teeth off, or to avoid fluoride toothpaste (only to avoid brushing just before applying the strips). Glad I watched this!
@thetoothfiles hi, is it okay not to cover your entire teeth with the strips? Won't it cause uneven result re: whitening effect. Hoping for your respond. Thank you
Please tell me I’m not the only one who was brushing their teeth looking at the toothpaste label reading “Fluoride Anticavity Toothpaste” while watching this video.

I give my thanks for this informative video, a lot of users on TH-cam do not mention when to brush when you are about to use your whitening strips. I heard some people had their gums burn when their strips came in contact, what can be used to protect your gums when using the strips?
My gums are burning bad as fu** right now!! It’s probably b/c I brushed my teeth before I put the strips on! My fiancé teeth are white as hell so I just asked her what she uses and how. Next use I’m definitely not brushing my teeth before my next use of the these strips. They really work though for sure!!!
Use the entire pack, mine has 28 strips (14 for upper teeth and 14 for lower teeth) so it takes 14 days to complete. Then I repeat the cycle every 3 months to maintain my teeth color.
Hey, thank you! I just got one quick question. While I’m doing this treatment can I still drink/eat whatever I want? Or should I avoid anything colored till I’m done w the straps?
How long after using our teeth whitening strips should we brush our teeth? Should we wait and will it make a difference on the effectiveness? And also, if we’re brushing after can it contain fluroide or still no fluroide?
hi! how often should i use these strips for long lasting effect? is one box enough for one year? or do i need to use the strips everyday until i use up the whole box and then start using it again after how many months? thank you for this video!
Actually studies show that using fluoride gel before reduces side effects (pain and sensitivity) while not influencing the whitening effect. So I wonder what information you advice is based on?
Great vid! Thanks a lot:) Just wondering, how long do I need to wait after brushing my teeth with fluoride toothpaste? I see I'm not the only one watching this vid right after brushing :')
Maybe not. The instruction said not to swallow, so if you salivate, maybe use cotton pad to absorb the saliva or spit it out 😅 You don't want to risk "whitening" your stomach
Teeth feel pretty sensitive after this procedure and even while applying the strips I felt discomfort. I brushed my teeth right before strips though. So is it because of paste or strips are just not recommended in my case?
Does anyone know if I can wear retainer right after taking off whitening strip or should I wait a little or if I can even use strips while wearing retainer at night
So I guess the question now is, if I did them all wrong and they're on my gums and the top is on the bottom and vice versa, do I leave them on for the recommended hour or do I throw these ones away and use new strips?
HOW ABOUT HAVING THE G.D. DIRECTIONS ON THE G.D. BOX!!!! 🤯 ++ In any event - thank you for giving us this information!! My gums are burning because I brushed my teeth... and I only had the strip on for a few minutes. 😉❣️
What if after I have lighter spots and darker spots, lighter towards the tips of my teeth and splotchy? Will that go away with time if I keep using them?
@@warlord13000 yessir just brush everyday use the strips and use mouthwash and u can make teeth whitening toothpaste with baking soda do that like 2 times a week if it still don’t go away
I applied as you said but I have a question... when I used them it's recommended to keep for 30 min but after 10 min I started feeling sensations on my teeths and I removed the strips immediately... was it normal to have sensation or only I felt like that 😥😥❓
But if you don’t brush your teeth before hand won’t there be residue/plaque on the teeth? Should you just brush with water if you don’t want to buy a flouride free toothpaste? And wouldn’t brushing after be bad since your enamel is softened? Couldn’t it harm the tooth enamel?
Am I allowed to use Colgate optic white? And if I brushed my teeth in the morning with fluoride toothpaste can I apply the whitening strips a few hours later. And when I’m done can I use sensitive toothpaste?
Great question! The shorter one is for your bottom teeth. That’s because your bottom teeth are usually smaller. Also the fewer of your bottom teeth show when you smile. The strips are meant to cover the teeth that show when you smile 😊
@@thetoothfiles thank you for the reply, although my ocd would torment on the the fact the bottom strip did not have the same coverage/affect as the top.
I just ruined one set off strips. My next stupid question is: Which side to you attach to the teeth? The side you peel off from the plastic or the other one? I assume that it is just like using a bandaid and you use the side with the glue. 🙂
So I had a rubber mouth tray that whitening gel is used for so I put the strips on my teeth and then the tray in my mouth and am biting down a bit so strips stay put (didnt use the whitening gel that the tray came with) the strips are safely under my teeth and tray and here I wait for 30 min. 😅
I'm so happy that I brushed my teeth with tooth paste that contains extra floride, and had my mouth super wet prior to putting on the strips.
Girl 😭
😂😂😂real

Who else found this video AFTER applying the strips incorrectly? 🙋🏿♂️ 😅
Literally me right now 😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAH meeeee rn😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You read minds 😂
This muthafka!
Nah I’m here before 😎
Glad I’m not the only one that did the first one wrong before watching this video!
I just put them on before this video… so glad I brushed my teeth and it was super wet!!
We heard that joke before
1. Dont brush with fluoride pass
2. Dry your teeth
3. Strips
4. Remove the strips
Daily?
@@HoodGrownGeniusyes, until you've achieved the results you want. According to the label, use the entire box until it's gone, just like your antibiotic prescription 😂

Literally same XD
The saliva still builds in your mouth tho
Did it make good results in the long run?
😂
Use either the floss holder plastic or clean fingernail to push firmly on the installed strips in to the in between of your teeth...very important.
Thankyou
What does this mean
Woow, that’s so helpful tip to use floss plastic, thanks for the tip

@@wesleywilson2995 I think, but I don’t know, it’s to facilitate even whitening. It can’t whiten your teeth if there’s food remnants there
Nicely done miss. Very professional presentation that includes key points for achieving the best possible results. Thanks for posting and be safe 🙏
The directions should have been written better on the BOX!!!
I have a big mouth, it doesn't cover all my visible teeth...
Should I use two multiple strips to cover them all?
Yes! Use multiple strips to cover your smile line. Alternatives you can think about getting whitening trays. opalescence whitening trays are great over the counter options.
They can also be stretched a bit
So glad I found this video right after I brushed my teeth with fluoride toothpaste 🙄
Me too

@thetoothfiles hi, is it okay not to cover your entire teeth with the strips? Won't it cause uneven result re: whitening effect. Hoping for your respond. Thank you
There is a short and helpful video on TH-cam! Thank you
Thank you💐
I had no idea what to do afterwards because of the no pre application brushing recommendation. 😅
Please tell me I’m not the only one who was brushing their teeth looking at the toothpaste label reading “Fluoride Anticavity Toothpaste” while watching this video.
Watched the video AFTER attempting it, so like many others here.... mistakenly brushed teeth before.
good to know for next time!
i didn't know i had to brush my teeth after using thank u!
Thank you for the instructions and saving me from wasting a pack or two. Hopefully these will work. 🤟
How long should I wait before using the strips if I already brushed my teeth with fluoride toothpaste?
30 minutes at least
4-6 hours she commented to someone else
What about people with hyper salvation or just normally have too much saliva ?
Thank you so much :) i had a depression outbreak and couldn’t even get out of bed! So i didn’t brush my teeth and now they’re yellow
Proud of you for doing good for yourself!! :)

I brushed my teeth with floride toothpaste before and end up with white stains 😢😢😢😢
Why don't the instructions say this stuff? They don't even say which strip is upper vs lower.
Having strips in my mouth and reading comments like a champ

i saw another video that they put vaseline on the gums!
Inner strength
@@cedricjohnson8530 so, what does your fiancé use for for her white teeth!
Sensodyne
What frequency is best? Do teeth need a "healing" time in between treatments. Does "more frequent" equal "more effective"?
whens the best time to apply whitening strips, morning or night?
Night time seems okay.
Very helpful video! Wish I could get my teeth as white as yours
I’m glad I watched this because I thought you brushed your teeth before 😅 If only the box had your instructions
How long do you use it? Do you use it everyday till you are satisfied with how white your teeth are?
Use the entire pack, mine has 28 strips (14 for upper teeth and 14 for lower teeth) so it takes 14 days to complete. Then I repeat the cycle every 3 months to maintain my teeth color.
Can you put on the white strips then your retainer overtop to help keep it in place or do the chemicals harm the retainer?
good question lmk when she answers
Thank you, very great video. I JUST brushed with fluoride toothpaste before watching so now I'm waiting for it to wear off before I put on the strips.
We in the same boat 😂
i was watching this as i was brushing my teeth with fluoride toothpaste
Very informative, thank you so much! Can I go for any variant of sensodyne?
Using clouded cloth may be harmful because of the harmful dye.
That may be harmful and carcinogenic.
I love your video
2 minutes wasted of my life and i can’t get those back thank u🙏🏽
i put the long one on the bottom row, i put it ON my gums, i DID brush my teeth and my mouth was dripping wet with saliva :D
Actually watching this before applying. 😂😂
We have to keep it for 30 min right and do you think advanced teeth whitening strips is good?
The only issue I’m having trouble is like do I swallow all this saliva lol 😅while the strips are on
Hey, thank you! I just got one quick question. While I’m doing this treatment can I still drink/eat whatever I want? Or should I avoid anything colored till I’m done w the straps?
Very useful! Thanks
How often should you use the strips? Are you supposed to use them once a day or week?
Once a day
I believe once a day until you get the results you desire
So am I good to use fluoride Toothpaste after I use the strips
When can you eat or drink coffee/tea after using them?🤔
How long fo you need to keep the strips on ? Better to use while sleeping ?
Thanks for the good explanation. You are the best.
How long after using our teeth whitening strips should we brush our teeth? Should we wait and will it make a difference on the effectiveness? And also, if we’re brushing after can it contain fluroide or still no fluroide?
About an hour after and yes use fluoride paste
No flouride pasta to be used
fluroide makes teeth yellow. its a poison
You can brush before and wait 30min to put the strips on
So it’s ok to brush your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste after removing the strips?
Do we have to remove the whole mouth to do this?
hi! how often should i use these strips for long lasting effect? is one box enough for one year? or do i need to use the strips everyday until i use up the whole box and then start using it again after how many months? thank you for this video!
Exact questions. Anyone? Thank u.
@@Crvenaaafulit seems to me u use one strip everyday until your box is empty, then it lasts for 6 months, and you buy another box and repeat.
I got the 40 one and it said to use one kit per year
The box said do it twice a year.
Actually studies show that using fluoride gel before reduces side effects (pain and sensitivity) while not influencing the whitening effect. So I wonder what information you advice is based on?
How often should it be used?
I bought “optismile”. Is this good brand do you think?
How Long after brushing is ok?
Tip if the saliva drooling becomes uncomfortable place a piece of tape over your mouth
Can I at least use the fluoride tooth paste after the white strips ?
You definitely should! It’s just right before using the strips that’s recommended not to use fluoride toothpaste 🙂
Hi there, thanks for the videos. How effective is Crest 3D whitestrips work?
They work great ! Just make sure that you follow the box’s instructions :)
@@thetoothfiles thank you.
Great vid! Thanks a lot:)
Just wondering, how long do I need to wait after brushing my teeth with fluoride toothpaste? I see I'm not the only one watching this vid right after brushing :')
Thanks ☺️ just wait about 4-6 hours and you should be good to go
Cheers!
Are these safe to use on crowns? Or avoid?
Now I have very crooked teeth, am I able to still use them even though they are very crooked?
🇬🇧❓
Hi can you use anytime of the day?
Is it fine to swallow your saliva after applying the strips?
Maybe not. The instruction said not to swallow, so if you salivate, maybe use cotton pad to absorb the saliva or spit it out 😅 You don't want to risk "whitening" your stomach
Teeth feel pretty sensitive after this procedure and even while applying the strips I felt discomfort. I brushed my teeth right before strips though. So is it because of paste or strips are just not recommended in my case?

Can you do it in the morning?? Before eating anything?
Sure 😊
lol sitting here with strips already on hearing I failed steps 1 and 2 lol!!
well next time i'll know better
What is the best routine for this?
Can I use them, if i have a permanent retainer ?
Yes!
@@thetoothfiles thank u !!! 🫶🏻
I got the Signature Care Gentle White Whitening Strips are this a good brand?
Hey, yes you should get results 😊
Does anyone know if I can wear retainer right after taking off whitening strip or should I wait a little or if I can even use strips while wearing retainer at night
Wow I was flossing and brushing with sensodyne before I would put strips on to make sure they’re clean. I didn’t know you should brush after
You can brush before applying them, but leave at least one hour before putting them on. That’s what it says on the user guide.
@@mustsee715 yeah I was brushing literally before I would put them on
So I guess the question now is, if I did them all wrong and they're on my gums and the top is on the bottom and vice versa, do I leave them on for the recommended hour or do I throw these ones away and use new strips?
How long should or can I use the strips? Over night?
its usually written on the box but around 30 minutes should be plenty.
What would happen if you accidentally put too much of the top of it on the gums?
