Best Teeth Whitening Method?

Alright, so i just got half my braces off, and am soon to get the rest off. I'm getting them off when i have spring break, so I want to go back to school with a dazzling white smile. My teeth are like an off white, and i really want them to shine! My mom doesnt want me to use Crest White Strips because they wear off my enamel (mighta spelled that wrong). Anyone got any good and very effective teeth whitening ideas?





:) Thanks! (:

Best Teeth Whitening Method?
Get some baking soda and mix it in with your toothpaste. This is what they put in whitening toothpastes most of the time... it tastes bad but it does the trick! Also, if you can bare it eat some lemons! Lemons have citric acid in them which is like a bleaching agent... some girls even use it on their hair to lighten it. This will definitley help brighten you smile good luck!
Reply:Commercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen peroxide and are expensive and inconvenient. A cheap and natural tooth whitening home remedy uses few strawberries but certain precautions have to be taken. I found the information at http://www.aches.in/toothwhitening.html
Reply:Any other teeth whitening products would wear off enamel too.
Reply:I googled "teeth whitening home remedys" and found this one:





mix on small plate the following


1 tsp baking soda


dash of salt


then add a few drops of white vinegar, which will foam.





Then brush with toothpaste afterwards.





seems like a pretty safe method.


(some recipes on the site say to use peroxide...I wouldn't recommend that. It seems unsafe)
Reply:One popular tooth whitening product that you can use is bleaching solution that contains peroxide for bleaching tooth enamel. The bleaching agent in these products is usually carbamide peroxide, which is available in 10, 16 and 22 percent concentrations.





Whiteners that contain peroxide typically come in gel form and are placed in a mouthguard. Some products are used twice a day for 2 weeks while others are intended for overnight use for a 1 to 2 weeks period. If you can obtain the bleaching solution from your dentist, he will be able to construct a custom mouth guard to fit your teeth precisely. Currently, the American Dental Association endorses only dentist-dispensed home-use percent carbamide peroxide tray-applied gels.





In addition to bleaching solution, whitening strips are increasingly being used as a preferred tooth whitening product. For instance, you are now able to get your hands on a set of Crest Whitestrips Supreme from any convenience store. The flexible, invisible strips are coated with an enamel-safe tooth bleaching gel. To whiten your teeth, you simply place the strips on your teeth and wear them for about 15 to 30 minutes each day. After a period of about 21 days, you should be able to see a significant difference on the brightness of your teeth.
