Question and answer

Professional effects 3d white strips

Professional Effects 3D White Strips use peroxide on natural teeth, with results affected by stain type, tooth condition, fit, and use.

The short answer

Professional Effects 3D White Strips are peroxide whitening strips for natural teeth, and the result depends on stain type, tooth condition, fit, and correct use. The gel contacts the enamel surface and peroxide diffuses into tooth structure to modify some stain molecules. Intrinsic discoloration, decay, enamel defects, and restorations respond differently from surface stains.
