Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening seems to be all the rage these days; what with celebrities constantly trying to perfect their smiles, regular citizens have followed suit. As such, a slew of teeth whitening methods and supporting products have hit the market, allowing you to achieve your pearly teeth at home. There are many methods to obtain your desired level of whitening, and each product has different strengths depending on the type of product you use.
Over the counter whitening products have become extremely popular in recent years, and there are a variety of methods to choose from. Crest's Tooth Whitening Strips work well for those who don’t want to wear a bleaching tray; but they’re a little tricky to keep in place. Colgate Simply White is another option; with this product, you paint it on your teeth in order to whiten them. With any paint on whitening product, you have to keep your teeth relatively dry in order to prevent it from washing off. Of course, you also have the option to try whitening toothpaste. There are tons available on the market, and brands like Crest, Colgate, Mentadent and others all have them.
Also popular teeth whitening methods are using products containing a whitening tray. These trays can easily be obtained via the Internet or your dentist. One tray version requires you to boil the tray to soften it, then biting it for a few moments. These are called boil and bite trays. Another method is to have your tray sent to a dental lab to have it custom molded. This can take a couple of weeks, but it generally fits better than the “boil and bite” trays. With these methods, you fill the tray with the bleach solution and keep it in place for up to 8 hours. These teeth whitening methods are able to give you better results than any drugstore product, but they are more costly.
The ability of whitening products to significantly whiten your teeth will depend on the stains themselves. By far the cheapest teeth whitening products are your local drugstore variety. If you have significant stains, an at-home tray-whitening method may be the right choice for you. These can deliver quite promising results, but some people may find themselves with sensitivities to the chemicals in the gel. If your stains aren’t as severe, you may find that a paint-on method or even effective whitening toothpaste can help improve your smile. Most whitening toothpastes only work on getting rid of surface stains, so if you have severe discoloration you may want to have your teeth bleached by a professional or by purchasing an at-home bleaching tray kit.
With the variety of teeth whitening methods available today, there’s no reason why you can’t have a beautiful smile. No matter which product you choose, be sure to research your options beforehand to decide what best works for your particular situation. In a matter of weeks, you too can have those pearly whites you’ve always dreamed of !

Romain Kremer
Flamboyant playful French wunderkind Romain Kremer’s creative drive is fuelled with a sense of derision and love for the hybrid. His deliriously serious fashions arise from a complex layering of codes, dissected and rearranged to the point of near-explosion. Romain Kremer, 24, launched his eponymous label in 2003 with a happening in a car park, after studies at ESAA Duperrè followed by stints at Dior Homme and Gaspard Yurkievich. Last year, the young gun's talent didn't go unnoticed at the Hyères fashion festival, where he was awarded a special prize for creativity.
