AIBU to think you can't whiten your natural teeth to this extent?

Seems like every American girl on instagram has these glow-in-the-dark white teeth. AIBU to think there's no way you can whiten your teeth like that and these must be veneers/crowns/implants?

America has different laws on their whitening products that aren't available in the UK - their stuff is MUCH better than ours.

Yeah I don’t get it. I’ve paid £400 to have my teeth whitened at my dentist. I have had the trays made for my teeth and I have bleaching gel, it works a bit- but not like the glowing white teeth I see on US tv/films!

Yeh they're veneers i reckon

MiniCooperLover · 30/07/2021 07:37

Also there are apps you can use to whiten teeth in a picture, likely they've also used that

It's definitely whitening strips, one of my friends orders his from the US and his teeth are ridiculously white. They looks silly, but are definitely his teeth.

Those are veneers. Not just how white they are but the shape, size and how uniform they are isn't natural

I wonder what products are safe, though? Can they weaken enamel?

That would worry me too.

I have met Rebekah Vardy a couple of times, and it’s the fluorescent gnashers that have stayed with me. Actually mildly frightening at close quarters.

They look ridiculous anyway.

Veneers are very popular in the states, but I would say most run teeth whitening aps on their pics/videos.
