 Smile = Bright and White! |

To start, I've used whitening strips before. And they've always worked very well on me. I never had any sensitivity to any sort of strip, so, I was confident that Crest's newest 3D whitening strips would be fine for me. And they were!
After just 3 days of using the strips, I noticed a dramatic difference in the color of my coffee-stained teeth! I noticed the change in color both in person, as well as in photographs of myself. After 10 days, my teeth were glowing white - not so white that you'd think they were fake, just a nice, healthy white smile!
I have nothing but great things to say about Crest's 3D Whitestrips! The "advanced seal" is amazing - no more goopy strips that feel like they are slipping everywhere in your mouth! These strips are going to be my go-to strips every six months now! These are fantastic! |
Obvious whitening but watch for sensitivity

The package claims that you can see visible whitening after only 3 days. This claim is true. I've never whitened my teeth before but they weren't too yellow to begin with and I noticed the difference after 3 days exactly. However, I also have sensitive teeth and by the third day, the strips had increased their sensitivity. The instructions say that if your teeth are sensitive, start using the strips every other day (instead of every day), so that's what I did. The sensitivity stopped immediately after skipping a day. I used the rest of the package in a similar manner: using the strips every other day, sometimes using them two days in a row. The whitening continued just fine using this method. My teeth are extremely clean looking now, but not that fluorescent look some people get with over-whitening. They just look pretty and clean.
A few notes on usage. The strips are easy to apply, especially if you follow the instructions and put the bottom one on first. I definitely recommend, as the package says, to use them BEFORE you brush your teeth. The instructions say it will reduce tooth sensitivity but there's also another benefit: if you use them daily before you brush your teeth, you won't forget to do it AND you can brush off the gooey stuff that the strips leave behind on your teeth. Also, the strips are EXTREMELY sticky. They won't come off accidentally; they stay on securely. They are comfortable to wear. When you pull them off, make sure your fingers are dry so you can get a good grip to pull off the strip. |
Well worth the money

First of all I am a barista at a coffee shop, so you can imagine how much (free!) coffee I drink and how my teeth would NOT be very white. When I first started hearing about these fancy white strips I wanted to try them, but instead opted for a cheaper store brand.
Store brand: chunky thick piece of wax that irritated my gums. They did whiten my teeth slightly, however, and I was pleased with the results.
Months later I found out a coworker was using these Crest 3D Whitestrips and her teeth were WHITE! I mean, WHITE WHITE WHITE.
Crest strips: Thin strips that conform easily to teeth (store brand strips were too thick and couldn't get into the grooves between the teeth). And within a few days my teeth were whiter than when I used the 2 week store brand strips.
**I have been using the Crest strips for two weeks now (not over the weekends to give my teeth a break) and am just now experiencing a bit of sensitivity. Because of this I will stop using them for a few days (2-3 days is recommended). However my teeth are now so white I don't even know if I should continue with them or just save them for later! (I have 9 left, enough to do some significant whitening later on.) |
A Nice Alternative

| To start - I have worked in dentist offices for a few years, and a couple of my closest friends are top notch dentists. My teeth have always been white, just not white enough for my taste. I like to have a smile that pops. I have had professional whitening done (Britesmile), and these strips are great for maintaining my whiteness. Even if you haven't had that, these should work well for you. Keep in mind that I don't smoke, and I never drink coffee, tea, or colored drinks. If you're someone who always drinks java or things like it, you might not keep your results very long - as anything that can stain a white T-shirt will stain your teeth (but if you brush your teeth a least 2x a day you should be okay;-). The adhesive nature of the strips are great and such an improvement from the previous whitestrips. First and foremost, the most important thing is to make sure your mouth is healthy all together because one can have very white teeth but have underlying issues with gums and decay. If your teeth are particularly sensitive, you might get an occasional "zinger" when whitening, or your teeth might become more sensitized throughout your whitening process. If this is the case, definitely use a toothpaste like Sensodyne - that should greatly help you. I recommend to apply the strips at least twenty minutes after brushing. I know everyone has different results, but overall you should see improvement. If you're someone with white teeth to begin with, you might get a shade or two lighter, but if your teeth are off white you could be lightened several shades. Another little piece of advice - chew gum (sugar-free of course). Funny thing - for as long as I know every time I see my friends (the dentists) they are always chewing gum in and out of the office. I prefer Orbit or Trident. The action of chewing gum can greatly help your teeth because of the added flow of saliva, which helps inhibit tooth decay. I wish everyone good luck and a happy mouth! |
The Best Crest Strip Yet!

I have very sensitive teeth. I have been using Crest strips for years but usually have to skip days between use. I was able to do one the first day, then 2 for 2 days. I have a cap on my front tooth and I can only whiten until it brings the other teeth to match. For me that was 5 treatments. So the box will be two times of treatments for me making it a great value.
I would say I went 5 shades whiter.
I had no troubles whatsoever with the strips. They stay in place and I did drink water. They came off without too much trouble, they do stick well. I think you will be quite delighted with the results. Highly recommend.
