Teeth Whitening Strips: 3d white, Blend a Med, Crest, Rigel, Advanced teeth, Oral Pro, Bright light. Prices in pharmacies

The aesthetics of teeth is directly related to their color: the whiter, the more attractive a person's teeth and smile are. Whitening procedure in the clinic costs more than 20,000 rubles. For those looking for alternative, cheaper ways to get a beautiful smile, it makes sense to consider purchasing teeth whitening strips, which are easy to buy at a pharmacy or store.

The price of this product is much lower than professional whitening in the clinic, and many are satisfied with the result of their use.

What are teeth whitening strips?

Teeth strips were invented not so long ago, and this was done by Americans, who have always been especially concerned about the beauty of their smile. Procter & Gamble began developing the first whiteness plates back in 1997. These strips are designed for independent home use.

The tool is a pair of thin plates (polyethylene or other material), on which a special gel is applied.

Advantages of funds

Whitening strips from different manufacturers differ from each other in consumer properties.

But all of them, to a greater or lesser extent, have the advantages listed below:

• well remove plaque from coffee, tea, nicotine, red wine and other products with strong coloring properties;

  

• cope with stains from special metal orthodontic systems, with a plaque from medicines;
• intended for home use. No need to go to the dentist;
• simple and easy to use;
• provide a fairly long-term (up to one and a half years) effect. This is possible if a person does not overuse coloring drinks and food.

disadvantages

Competing brands try to minimize the shortcomings of their products to a minimum.

But there are also disadvantages common to all whitening strips:

• are not effective enough to change the natural yellowish or grayish color of teeth;
• do not bleach fillings and prostheses;
• may cause mild irritation to sensitive gums.

Contraindications for use

Children, pregnant women and people suffering from serious chronic diseases should not use this remedy. It will not be superfluous to visit the dentist before starting the whitening course.

How the whitening strips work

The strips are coated with a gel with an active whitening component (hydrogen peroxide).

The composition of this gel also includes substances that provide hydration, fixation, and taste:

• carbomer;
• glycerol;
• saccharin;
• soda;
• water.

How to use?

The strips are very easy to use, but to achieve the best result, you need to follow some simple rules:

• you need to read the instructions and find out if there are allergens in the composition of the substances used for bleaching;
• remove the protective layer from the strip for upper teeth and apply it to the outer surface of the upper teeth. Press the strip to your teeth;
• do the same with the strip for the lower row of teeth;
• withstand the recommended time. The hydrogen peroxide in the gel is safe if not overused. But the surface layer of the gum tissue and tooth enamel can be destroyed by an excess amount of this substance;
• do not eat or drink during the procedure;
• do not reuse the strips;
• at the end of the procedure, remove the plate and brush your teeth with regular toothpaste or powder;
• carry out the procedure no more than once every 12 hours and no more than twice a day;
• the whitening course is usually carried out for about two weeks. During the course, you should not use products with strong coloring properties (coffee, black strong tea, dark grape varieties, etc.). At the end of the course, you should refrain from these products for another week;
• the break between whitening courses should be at least a month. But it is better to increase it to six months.

Top brands of whitening strips

Teeth whitening strips in a pharmacy (their price may be slightly higher than in online stores) can be bought on specialized sites. For example, Blend a Med costs an average of 2780 rubles. The price of popular Crest Professional Effects is 3790 rubles.

If you buy the same strips not through an Internet service, but in a regular pharmacy, then the price will increase by another 10-12%. However, buying goods at a pharmacy is much safer. Pharmacies are often screened for medical and legal compliance. This is especially important in the case of a health product.

The table does not show exact prices for 2 reasons:

1. They vary from pharmacy to pharmacy.
2. Sometimes it makes sense to buy a similar product not only in a pharmacy, which will be discussed later.

When buying through any (not a pharmacy) resource on the Internet, you have to take care of whether the purchased product is certified. Many resources provide digital copies of certificates. But upon close examination, these certificates turn out to be just texts with pictures, and not documents that have legal force.

Teeth whitening strips are easier to buy at the pharmacy, but at a higher price. The pharmacy chain is legally responsible for the sale of non-certified goods. And the buyer does not have to study fake Internet "certificates".

The pharmacy is obliged to provide any buyer with a certificate for the goods upon request. Any pharmacy chain bears double responsibility: to the buyer and to the Ministry of Health.

If you need to purchase good and inexpensive ones, then the whitening strips from the Chinese manufacturer can be purchased through Aliexpress. It will be profitable, and there is no need to fear that the product is fake if the brand is Chinese.

A similar tool can be found in online pharmacies. The price there will be higher, but quite acceptable. If the buyer decides to buy whitening strips of a European, and even more so an American brand, then he needs to be careful. There are many offers on the Internet. There is no guarantee that you will receive what you ordered.

You can suggest the following options for action:

• buy goods on the manufacturer's official website;
• purchase goods at the pharmacy.

With a purchase on the manufacturer's website, there may be difficulties in payment and delivery. There are many Crest sellers on the network claiming to be official distributors of Procter & Gamble.

Upon careful examination of their documents, one can find out that these documents are often expired. And for more than 2 years already. Therefore, the buyer runs the risk of purchasing counterfeit products. Blend a Med strips are easier to buy. The official website of Procter & Gamble trades in Russia.

Teeth whitening strips in a pharmacy (the price will always be lower in an online pharmacy) is safe enough to buy if they are not found on the official website. Of course, the price will be higher than in most online stores, but the risk associated with the purchase of such goods on the network is completely eliminated.

Currently, the law allows some pharmacy products to be sold remotely. Whitening strips are one of them. The buyer will be able to buy them through the online pharmacy in the same way as he buys any product..

Many pharmacies and pharmacy chains have online presences. Such pharmacies include 36.6, Rigla, Apteka.Ru, Planet of Health, and Accessible Environment. Delivery can be arranged in a similar pharmacy. You can save money by taking advantage of virtual reference pharmacies. They present a range of products in real pharmacies.

The virtual reference provides information on:

• prices;
• addresses;
• possible discounts in pharmacies.

The help desk itself does not sell goods. Each city has enough of such convenient services. With regard to the sale of medical products, there is constant debate in the legislature, and pharmacies lack the rights to trade profitably. Therefore, the buyer may have problems finding the product he is interested in.

The assortment of teeth whitening strips in the well-known online pharmacy Apteka.ru is not very large. It is much wider in the Internet pharmacy Wer.ru. There are also strips of a domestic manufacturer.

Whitening strips Global White from the producer Zelenaya Dubrava, 7 pcs. at a price of 609 rubles. and 14 pcs. at a cost of 1070 rubles. These strips are designed for a weekly and 2-week course. Statistical conclusions: more than 90% of those who bought this product were satisfied with the whitening result.

Reviews of dentists and buyers about whitening strips

The opinion of dentists is this: under the influence of whitening strips, a good effect occurs in the surface layers of the enamel.The main side effect of home whitening with strips is increased tooth sensitivity.

During whitening, dental treatment should not be carried out, since the gel affects the marginal adhesion of the filling material, and it is better to postpone the treatment for 2 weeks after the end of home bleaching. Irritation of the oral mucosa is also possible.

You need to carefully use the strips, make sure that they do not touch the mucous membrane and gums. If the patient has doubts about the health of their teeth and oral cavity, it is best to visit the dentist before whitening.

Patient reviews about the strips are also predominantly positive. Among the disadvantages of using whitening strips are soreness of the gums, insufficient whitening effect.

But most people who have tried such a fairly inexpensive pharmaceutical remedy subsequently tend to re-whiten their teeth in the same way. Sometimes they choose other strips, but few refuse categorically from this way to whiten their teeth.
