White strips: No matter what you do your teeth will continue to stain if you keep drinking so much coffee and tea.  So  you need to change this.  Using white strips at home will help lighten your teeth but is will take time.  For greater results you need to see a dentist.

Question 7

can whitestrips work on yellow teeth?

Accepted Answer

Yes but not best: Over the counter whitening products such as white strips  will whiten some, however, there are some draw backs. They only whiten the highest surface of the teeth they come in contact with as they sit on the teeth. They don't whiten in the areas between where the teeth come together. They also can cause damage to the gums such as irritation and burning. Professional whitening by a dentist is best.

Payment plan: Any otc system will proabably be a waste of money.  A professionally made tray & system may be able to painlessly whiten your teeth, and many dentists offer payment plans to allow you to make small monthly payments & get the smile of your dreams..

Question 9

yellow teeth and how to make them white?

Accepted Answer

Whitening options: The best way to whiten natural teeth is to use peroxide gels and maintain your hygiene. Custom trays made by your dentist will whiten over a period of about 2 weeks. In- office whitening is immediate. However, whatever whitening system, maintaining is necessary. We encourage our patients to invest in maintenance trays to be used as needed, about once every month or two to keep staining away.
