Crest Whitestrips
By Kakoa on
I have used the Crest Whitestrips twice now and I can say they work, but the classic version is a bit of a hassle. They have come down in price, but I think I next time I want to use them I will spend the extra money to get the newer version instead of the classic.
The classic version takes 14 days, with and application twice a day in order to work. The first time I used them I really stuck to what it said to do. The second time...not so much. It got old and annoying to take the time to put them on and leave them on for 20 minutes. In that time, you can't really talk that much or the strips get messed up and the gel goes everywhere in your mouth. Also, the second time I used them (about 2 years after the first treatment) the bottom strip was causing pain to shoot through my teeth. I stopped using the bottoms and tried to finish the top strips.
After the first treatment I did notice a little difference in the whiteness of my teeth. It lasted about a year before I thought I needed it again. After the second treatment, I didn't notice much of a difference. If I have a big event in the future I will probably use them again, but the shorter time version, not the classic.
Good information. I'm glad to know the difference between the older and newer versions. Thanks!
I am always looking for something to help keep my teeth white and I have used these as well. I am glad to see the cost going down on some of this stuff.
I have used this product before but I'm not sure if it was the classic version. I will have to be more careful the next time I purchase them.
Thanks for the information. I have never used these before, but always wondered how good they worked.
these look good, will check them out--thanks!
I have used these and like you it was a hassle. I did stick to it and noticed a difference but didn't think it lasted that long. I do drink coffee so that may have something to do with it. I thought the price was really high too, need to check them out again. Thanks
I have heard from several people that they are a hassle to use and I just don't have time for that. In the end I will probably give in and give them a chance at least at some point.
I've never tried these. But I have noticed that my teeth just are not as white as they were when I was....um, lets say 20 :0) Good to know that they work
I have used these before and oh my gosh I know what you mean about the shooting pain. I was probably nearing my 10th day of the first treatment when it started. It was horrible. I think it's from our teeth being very sensative to whatever peroxide ingredient they have on the strips. My whiteness did last quite awhile though. I've been meaning to try some type of white strips again but I'm scared of getting that pain again!
My teeth are sensitive so I think I will steer clear from these! I'm so sorry that you had a sharp pain on your bottom teeth kiddo...
