anyone use these? good results? better than just a shade whiter? did you have better results with any other brand?

Hi. I used them last year and they did make my teeth noticably whiter, I had a few people who commented on my whiter teeth. It IS temporary though. If you're drinking tea, coffee, Coke or anything else that stains teeth, the effects won't last too long.
I will buy some more to use, next time I go to the USA. I haven't tried any other brand, so cannot compare.

I have used these and they worked well (I used the 14 day version, not the 7 day ones--not sure which one you're referring to). I used them only on my top teeth first and could definitely see a difference between my top and bottom teeth when I had finished. The bottom strips don't stay on very well, though. But most people's bottom teeth don't show anyway, so you could probably just skip those.

Yes, I have used the Crest strips. They definitely made a difference within a week. But that was as long as I could use them because my teeth became terribly sensitive. It's temporary, but it's rather painful when it happens. I guess it doesn't happen to everyone, but it's a pretty common side effect. You can always try them for a few days and if it becomes too painful, just quit. I think you'll like the results.

Thanks all....Yes...I"m talking about the 7 day strips...that's what makes them "premium". I'm on my 2nd day. think they're whitnening but not sure....HOPE they are for $38! DOing the same thing as one of you mentioned...not doing the bottom so I have something to compare them too.

Used them, liked them enough to buy a second box and use them again.

Very good results in my case. My teeth were NOT horribly stained to start, but being near forty years old, they certainly could use some help. I can't say "excellent" results, but I'm satisfied. In fact, I'm going to buy another box and use them again in a month or so.

You can use them fairly often, though it is not a daily treatment kind of thing. Crest recommends twice a year, but they also suggest that you CAN use two boxes in a row. Some folks report issues with "hyper-whitening," but this is probably pretty rare.

The sensitivity issue for me surfaced at around Day Three. It lasted until about Day Five. After that, my teeth and gums felt fine. There was a burning kind of tingling when I first put the strips on and some sensitivity after they came off. But it wasn't bad at all. Everyone will react differently, though. I used the Premium strips.

Look for sales -- they are numerous and often. Crest will also put out coupons several times a year for up to seven bucks off, which really helps. They do have an expiration date, though. So if you were to buy some on sale and wish to hang on to them to use later, check the date and make sure they will still be effective.

DO be careful not to wipe any gel that gets on your fingers on clothing or towels -- it can bleach fabric. Just wash off with water.

Can you use these if you have bonding on your teeth? Or won't it take to it? I have a feeling all the other teeth would get whiter, but the tooth with the bonding would stay the same color....

I used them and they didn't work. My teeth are not badly stained, but for some reason, they just didn't work. I ended up going to my dentist and she gave me a bleaching kit that worked great.

It IS temporary though. If you're drinking tea, coffee, Coke or anything else that stains teeth, the effects won't last too long.

That's a given with any type of tooth whitening system. Professionally done in a dentist office, or not. When you get it professionally done, they don't put anything on your teeth to make the results last longer.

If you avoid foods that stain, the results will last longer.

Anyway, I tried this product. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

I'm thinking about trying these too. I just don't want to have to continue buying them constantly though.

to my surprise...they seem to be working......i've completed day 3.....no real sensitivity issues either....one sharp pain on the second day but went away in a flash....easy to stay on theeth...no taste and hopefully continued good results.
:bouncing:

to my happiness and my surprise...these strips were wonderful! at least 3 shades whiter and people notice! did only my tops so i could compare.....yes...at times (days 4, 5 and 6) there was some sensitivity issues....not like a cavity but more like a burning from the peroxide. this product is excellent and far exceeds any of the others currently out there. will buy another box to see how much whiter i can go...they allow one other box to be used immediately following the first one....they don't recommend it on a constant basis though....get these and you will be satisfied! :D

I just bought a pack of Crest Whitestrips (not premium) tonight onsale for $26.99 :) Can't wait to start them. My friend used them about a year ago and I noticed her teeth got quite a bit whiter...and they're still that way.
