How to Use Teeth Whitening Strips (Step-by-Step Guide)

Let’s be honest: if you’re investing in whitening your teeth, you want every strip to count. Whether you're prepping for a big event or just want a brighter smile for everyday confidence, knowing how to use teeth whitening strips correctly makes all the difference.

Vacay Teeth Whitening Strips are designed to deliver professional-level results without the harsh chemicals or tooth sensitivity. Here’s your go-to guide for using whitening strips effectively and safely.

Step 1: Brush Your Teeth (No Toothpaste Yet)

Start by brushing with just water about 30 minutes before you use whitening strips. This helps remove surface stains and clear away plaque without interfering with the whitening agent. Whitening toothpaste or fluoride toothpaste can be used after your whitening treatment to maintain healthy teeth and protect tooth enamel.

Step 2: Dry Your Teeth

Use a tissue or clean towel to gently dry your natural teeth. A dry surface ensures your white strips stick well and provide even whitening results on both your top teeth and lower teeth.

Step 3: Apply the Strips (Gel Side to Teeth)

Peel the strip and apply the gel side directly to your teeth. Press and smooth for a snug fit. Vacay whitening strips are designed to stay in place so you can talk, scroll, or relax during your whitening procedure. Make sure to avoid contact with your gums to reduce the chance of irritation.

Step 4: Wear Whitening Strips for 30 Minutes

Sit back and let the active ingredients go to work. Our enamel-safe hydrogen peroxide formula, combined with soothing coconut oil and sage oil, targets surface stains without causing sensitive teeth or gum discomfort. It’s a whitening treatment that fits seamlessly into your self-care routine.

Step 5: Remove and Rinse

After 30 minutes, gently peel off the strips and rinse your mouth with water. This helps remove any leftover whitening gel and soothes your gums. You can now brush your teeth with a whitening toothpaste or fluoride toothpaste if desired.

Step 6: Repeat Daily for Visible Results

For visibly whiter teeth, use whitening strips once daily for up to two weeks. You'll notice a visibly brighter smile after just one use, with dramatic whitening results in 10 days. Whitening teeth doesn’t have to mean a trip to the dental office or cosmetic dentistry.

Pro Tips for the Best Whitening Effect:

• Avoid eating or drinking staining foods and drinks (like red wine or coffee) for at least 30-60 minutes after each whitening procedure.
• Store your whitening products in a cool, dry place.
• Traveling? Toss a few Vacay packets in your bag for whitening on the go.
• Regular brushing helps maintain your whitening results and remove stains over time.

Teeth whitening products can feel intimidating, especially if you have sensitive teeth or are new to whitening treatments. But with Vacay’s peroxide free formula option and our effective whitening blends, you get a gentle yet powerful whitening effect.
