Crest Whitestrips Dental Whitening System

agree with the other customers reviews. This system does what it claims to whiter your teeth.
Listening to others reviews, I try to be careful to put the strips into my mouth. So, I have no problem to put them in. However, it is definitely not allow you to talk freely when you have the strips in your mouth. I also dont think you can eat and drink while the strips in your mouth. I hope Crest will give some extra strips in case one mess up or break the strip unintentionally.
I also find that the strips are very small. I have small teeth but the strips are not able to cover them all. I think both the strips for upper teeth and lower teeth only design to cover the front 8 teeth both on the top and on the bottom. I am wondering what happens to my other back teeth.
Overall, I think you will get a brighter smile, but not a brighter laugh. It is because people will notice your back teeth are still look yellow.

Ive heard a lot about them on television and on the internet, but I never gave them a try. Im one of those people who thinks that ALL producers simply come up with some new gimik to steal my hard earned money.

I finally met someone (with a great smile) that used them and she recommended them to me. Gave really high reviews about them. So, I decided to give them a try (still skeptical though. Maybe she had a great smile to begin with).

I guess I should have taken some pictures to be sure, but personally I didnt notice much difference. They were a bit whiter I think, but that could have been the lighting, or my imagination.

When I was done with the product, I still wasnt satisfied until I started getting compliments from all sorts of people. People were asking me what I did, because my teeth looked really white. Still skeptical, I ignored the first 4 people, but over 10 people cant be wrong. Bottom line, the product does work, the constant shade of my teeth was all in my head and came from inspecting them every day.

PROS:
Product works. Even though I skipped a couple days, still seemed to work. Just dont inspect them so much every day, because since the difference is gradual, you wont notice much.

CONS:
The stupid strips are TOO SHORT. What was crest thinking I guess I just have to control my smile so that its not too wide, because now I notice how yellow my back teeth are. Hey, I may buy 2 boxes next time and try overlapping strips. :D

Does leave your gums and teeth a bit sensitive if you apply to strips too much on the gums.

Takes a bit of getting used to, no doubt.

This really works! After using this product, my dentist commented on how white my teeth were. Its very convenient, I can just throw one on while Im cleaning and I can still talk on the phone. The cons: *can make teeth sensitive to hot and cold for a couple of days *it doesnt taste very good *can be hard to keep on teeth sometimes Overall, I love it! It lasts for a long time too!

I had been looking into many teeth whitening products and was very skeptical of all of them. But after a bit of reading about all of them I decided Id give this a try first. I really wasnt expecting much of a difference, but I noticed it after the 2nd time. Nothing major then, but there was a change already. It doesnt taste good at all, but after a few minutes you usually dont taste it anymore. Theyre sometimes hare to get on and keep on, but its only for 30 minutes and it works very well. Id definetly recommend this. -Drawback for some people is that your teeth need to be or should be pretty straight before using these. My father never had braces and his teeth arent even so he cant use them to get good results.

If youre not into paying hundreds of dollar on a teeth whitening system then this is the way to go. Ive already used my first pack and Im ready to get another one and probably another one after that. Every time I go out complete strangers will tell me You have such pretty teeth. Even my friends are asking me did I use something on my teeth, but I just smile and say, no. Im not a dentist or anything like it, but I guarantee that youll be completely satisfied with this product.Its worth the money.

I first used this item about 7 months ago, and my teeth are still white! The strips were not hard to use and I received great results. Everyone compliments me on how beautiful my teeth look. I would definitely recommend using this product if your looking for an easy, inexpensive product that offers long lasting and great results.

Ive been very skeptical about products that claim to whiten your teeth. Especially because they are a bit expensive. However, after reading the reviews for this product, I decided to give it a try. Im sure glad I tried it. I could tell my teeth were whiter from the very first use! It was a little hard to find 30 minutes twice a day for the treatment. But once I saw it was working, I MADE the time to do it. It was well worth my money. Two things to keep in mind, it can make your teeth sensitive and irritate your gums. But it goes away after treatment. Overall, I am now one happy consumer with a brighter smile!

I first used the CREST WHITESTRIPS when one of my friends had them. The first day I used them I could see that my teeth looked a couple of shades whiter. It has been the best thing on the market as far as a bleaching system. I loved it. I not only noticed the results myself but I also had people complementing me on how white my teeth were. So I had told them about the product and now they are satisfied. The only thing that I have heard bad about them was how sensitive you teeth get after you get done using them but it usually goes away with in the hour or so. They are great!!

I bought the Crest Whitestrips when they first came out and I was extremely happy with their results. I admit, they were a little expensive at first (10 bucks more than they cost now), but well worth it. Ive tried the other products like Simply White or the Crest Night Strips because they were cheaper, and they cannot even compare. It probably has to do with the direct contact of your saliva with the whitening gel. Im really disappointed in the other products, even Crest Night Effects. The Crest Whitestrips are your safest and best bet when searching for a better, whiter smile.

I used a toothpaste whitening kit by some brand i forgot the name a few months ago and that did not work for me at all. But now Im using Crest Whitestrips (i have about 4 days left), and I love how white theyve left my teeth. I used to just wear chapstick to not bring attention to my mouth, but now i wear red lipsticks without fear! I love it, and if youre really looking for a whiter smile use this instead of the cheaper not very good products out now.

Im in my first week of using the strips and already Im noticing a significant difference in the color of my teeth. Im not getting any spots which I was nervous about obtaining, but an all-over whitening causing only a slight sensitivity if I put the strip too over my gums, but otherwise no need for a specialized toothpaste for sensitivity. The strips are very easy to use and not uncomfortable at all. I can talk perfectly fine and my family doesnt know when I have them in or not, even on the upper teeth. The only not-so-fun part is taking off the strip...when you take it off the gel is still on your teeth and you either have to use kleenex to remove it or brush your teeth quickly because it does taste nasty. The strips do have an acid in them which Ive heard can eat away the teeth, but I have never heard of the whitestrips causing this, and Im sure there would be more notice from the public if it did. I have a bar behind my lower teeth since I had braces last year, and the whitestrips work fine over them...although it is suggested not to use the strips while there is any dental work such as braces in your mouth. Overall, this product is awesome...works like a charm!

Crest Whitestrips is a wonderful product! I recommend them to anyone and everyone. I saw my teeth getting whiter after just two days. Then my neighbor made a comment about how pretty my teeth were! Out of nowhere! Thats when I really knew that it was working! I experienced some tooth sensitivity a couple of times, but nothing major. And it goes away quickly. Definitely worth the --invest in yourself and your self-esteem!

I was surprised to see results after just one use. You have to use the 56 pack 2x a day and can do the upper/lower set of teeth together or at different times. The strips are coated with a clear gel that is whitening the teeth. The strip for the bottom set of teeth is very small and only covers about 5-6 teeth, but the upper strip offers better coverage. My teeth were white already, so now they are really white. I gave a few strips to my mom who has coffee stained teeth and they worked for her after only 3-4 uses. Good results. Pleased with the product.

The Crest White Strips have worked really well for me and I have nothing but good to say about them. I understand that other people have complained that they are tricky to put on and that they were painful, but I experienced neither. I found them easy to apply, I am totally able to speak while they are on (with a slight lisp!), and for me they were not painful at all. My teeth are noticeably whiter and I am very happy with the whole experience. My concern was if they were good for my teeth (I didnt want to accidentally do irreperable damage to my enamel) but a conversation with my dentist solved that completely.

First and foremost, these things deliver on their promise to make your teeth noticeably whiter in two weeks. Im not going to complain about that.

However, I have noticed the following things:
-These things are insanely hard to get into your mouth the first few times. Its a shame theres no spare strips included, because youre likely to waste a couple. The lower strips especially are prone to getting crumpled up and ruined while trying to stick the damn thing to your teeth.
-The gel tastes terrible. I recommend brushing your teeth shortly after you remove them.
-You cant really talk, drink, eat or do anything with your mouth while theyre on your teeth- even swallowing is difficult at first.
-The packaging does not stress that you need to use them TWICE A DAY. I made the mistake of using them only once a day until I luckily saw the note on the package.

But, like I said, my teeth look quite a bit better, although this isnt a substitute for brushing.

I am a dentist who recommends Crest White Strips to my patients becasue they do work to whiten teeth. However, they have to be used correctly and I recommend that you follow the directions exactly as specified inside the box.

1. First brush your teeth to remove the layer of plaque. Your teeth have pores and the pores need to be open for the chemical to penetrate.

2. Use the strips twice per day for maximum efectiveness. The inner part of the strip has a chemical called carbamide peroxide (a 6pct. form of hydrogen peroxide; in-office dental whitening uses a 15-30pct. version of the same chemical) that causes the stains inside your teeth to be oxidized and turn white. Applying the strips has a small learning curve as you will probably bend or fold a couple of them before you get the technique down.

2. Leave the strips on for 30 minutes at a time. After thirty minutes your saliva has probably diluted the peroxide to the extent that it is no longer effective. You can reapply a new strip immediately if you chose, for the treatment requires one hour of treatment time per day to work. It does not matter if you do this in one continuous 60-minute period or two 30-minute periods. Do this for two weeks and your teeth will get whiter.

Disadvantages

1. The chemical can and probably will burn your gums. If you notice a burning sensation when you use the product, it is the chemical oxidizing (or burning) your gums. Depending on how severe the burning is, it may cause you to want to stop the treatment. It is OK to stop the treatment for a day or two to let the gums heal. Once they are normal again, resume treatment with the White Strips.

2. Your teeth may become senstiive during the two-week treatment time. Try to push yourself through the sensitivity if it is mild, but if more severe, take a day or two off to let the teeth settle down and then pick up where you left off.

3. The strips only cover your front teeth, so only your front teeth will bleach. You may notice the distinct difference between the back (unbleached) teeth and the front (bleached) teeth. Since most people notice the front 6 teeth anyway, this is not a big deal. However, if you have a wide toothy smile, you may want to have a dentist make you a tray that will hold the chemical on the back teeth to whiten them too.

3. The bleaching effect works best on yellow stains. If your stains are due to tetracycline (brownish grey stains in a band on your teeth, your best bet is to have a dentist whiten your teeth as the dentist will use a tray to hold a more concentrated form of the chemical on your teeth for a longer period of time. A dentist may also recommend an ultraviolet light bleaching which is costly, but works the best on these stains.

Crest White Strips work for the vast majority of people. They dont work as well or as fast as a dentist-made bleaching, but over time, you will get a result that will be close to that of a dentist, and you will save money too. In any event, it is a good place to start with bleaching, and if you are not satisfied with the results, you can then see your dentist for a more concentrated form of bleaching.

Crest Whitestrips are the easy way to get whiter teeth in just 2 weeks. These thin, flexible strips conform to the shape of your teeth, and are coated with a gel that contains hydrogen peroxide, the same enamel-safe ingredient used by dentists for teeth whitening. Wear Crest Whitestrips just 30 minutes, twice a day. Simply place the gel side of each strip against your front teeth and fold the rest of the strip behind your teeth to keep it in place. In two weeks you will have noticeably whiter teeth. New clinical results prove whiter teeth for 12 months. Each box contains 56 strips: 28 for upper teeth, 28 for lower teeth. The secret to a whiter smile is in the strip - Guaranteed.
