Does anyone know any way to make homemade white strips without damaging braces?

Answer 1

Why try expensive dental bleaching procedures or synthetic home bleaching kits when you haven't even tried the basics? Sometimes, a simple routine of regular brushing with baking soda is enough to really make your teeth look fantastic.

Things You’ll Need:

    * Peppermint Oil

    * Eucalyptus Oil

    * Tupperware

    * Film Cannister

    * Cup

    * Baking Soda

    * Toothbrush

    * Salt

    * Glycerin

    * Water

    * Mouthwash

Baking Soda alone

Step1

Rinse off your toothbrush making sure to remove any food particles and toothpaste residue.

Step2

Shake the excess water out of the bristles.

Step3

Dip the brush in baking soda.

Step4

Brush your teeth, starting with the front ones. Use both an up-down and a side to side motion to really get a deep clean.Be sure to brush them both up and down and side to side. go from the gum line all the way to the bottom of your teeth.

Step5

Brush the backs and sides of your teeth in the same manner.

Step6

Rinse thoroughly with water or mouthwash.

Baking Soda Toothpaste

Step1

Max one part salt together with 3 parts baking soda.

Step2

Add mint oil, eucalyptus oil, or any other essential oil you want. Although this isn't really necessary, it can give the toothpaste a nice, fresh flavor and freshen your breath as well.

Step3

Stir in glycerin until all the powder is coated with it.

Step4

Mix in water to thin the mixture. The texture should be about that of normal toothpaste.

Step5

Store the mixture in a film cannister, Tupperware, or other small container.

Step6

Use the toothpaste every time you need to brush.
