How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?

How long does teeth whitening lasts 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.

IN-OFFICE TOOTH WHITENING

Professional in-office teeth whitening treatment should provide long-lasting results for 1 to 3 years. This procedure is done in your dentist’s office, and it usually requires only one visit.

Dr. Jacqueline Fulop-Goodling featured in WebMD

Nationally recognized orthodontist specialist Dr. Jacqueline Fulop-Goodling, D.M.D., P.C. has been featured in WebMD where she discusses an overbite of the teeth.

Dr. Jacquie Smiles as she is known to her patients became a Spokesperson for Invisalign Teen treatment which was featured on the Tyra Bank’s show. She now practices orthodontics in her Midtown Manhattan office and two other locations in Englewood Cliffs, NJ, and Monroe, NY.

WebMD asked Dr. Jacqueline Fulop-Goodling about an overbite, common causes and the availanle orthodointic treatments.

“Allowing an overbite to go untreated may lead to various issues, such as difficulty chewing and speaking,” Fulop-Goodling says.

What Does An Overbite Look Like?

You can look at your teeth in the mirror at home to see if you have an overbite. You can also ask your dentist.

“True overbites can be seen by biting down and seeing how much your lower front teeth are covered by your upper ones,” Jacqueline Fulop-Goodling, DMD, PC, tells WebMD Connect to Care.

An overbite is sometimes confused with an overjet—more commonly known as buck teeth—which happens when your front teeth protrude horizontally, according to the American Association of Orthodontists. You may notice an overjet more easily in photos when smiling naturally.

“Many patients mistake an overjet with an overbite and don’t truly notice their real overbite because they don’t usually take photos while biting down or when their teeth are touching,” Fulop-Goodling says.

When you have an overbite, your top teeth overlap the bottom teeth by more than 3 millimeters, according to the American Board of Orthodontics.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, some common causes of overbites include:

Genetic bone issues
Pushing your tongue too far forward
Habitual nail-biting
Thumb-sucking or using pacifiers beyond age 3
