How Long Do The Results of Teeth Whitening Last?

How long your teeth whitening results last will depend upon the type of bleaching product you are using. Since there is a wide range of whitening options, the average teeth bleaching results can last from six months to three years. The average results for consumers for teeth whitening may last for about one year.

The length of time you can expect from your tooth whitening treatment to last is based upon the type of whitener you’re using as well as your lifestyle habits.

At-home treatments such as whitening toothpaste, mouthwashes, and pens do not last very long.

White strips are the most effective over-the-counter whitening treatment you can use without a dentist’s supervision.

At-home gel trays that are customized to fit your mouth provided by your dentist offer the longest-lasting teeth whitening.

Here are some of the most popular teeth whitening treatments and how long they last.

NYC orthodontist finds another benefit of face masks

If you’re planning to get braces, now is a perfect time says Dr. Jacquie Smiles, an NYC orthodontist that specializes in Invisalign clear aligners and traditional dental braces.

Dr. Jacquie Smiles, who has offices throughout NY and NJ area, has recently launched a campaign for, “Best Time Ever to Get Braces”. No one will ever know you have braces while wearing a face mask.

With the widespread mask usage due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no one will see your braces.

On average, Invisalign clear aligners and traditional metal braces treatment time is between 6 to 18 months.

During this time frame, the CDC and government officials plan to have a COVID-19 vaccine and the virus under control. By this time, you can have a straight smile while wearing a mask without anyone ever knowing you had braces.
