Crest Whitestrips

[Fly_Southwest]

Does anybody use these things? I do and I hate them. I'm not throwing them out because it would be a waste of my 30 dollars! I thought by the commercials they would actually work and you would not really know you had them on- wrong.

You open the little package for upper or lower and peel off the strip and try to get the really sticky side on your teeth- you can get it on there but it always slips around.

The lower strip never wants to stay on either...and after the 30 minutes you have a terrible taste in your mouth and your teeth are all slimey!

Does anybody else use them? Or even like them for that matter? I don't think they are worth it...but they do work, ill give em' that.

I used them and noticed a small difference- I didn't do the complete cycle though. I don't think it matters if the strips slide around as long as the goo got on your teeth. I'm thinking of having my teeth professionally bleached though- Crest didn't whiten them enough for me.

Yep... get all your info from commercials... they always tell the truth

Why do you want your teeth whiter?

Why do you want your teeth whiter?

B/c they're not really white. Between all of the orthidontic work I've had, they're stained & all, and Paintshop only goes so far.

Yeah I want them whiter because you can STILL see where my braces were!

Yeah- I don't have any braces marks, but they're just not white! I hate it! I've had like three diff retainers over the years & I'm guessing that's what did it, since they stayed on like 24/7. I had no idea teeth could be repositioned in so many different ways!

The only thing I don't like about the bleaching is it will weaken your teeth... Still debating about that one, but sparkly pearly whites sounds pretty good!

My sister tried em and she says they work but im not 2 sure. I tried em a couple of times and how do u keep em on ur teeth. They always slide off. I like that gel that gets left behind!

I would reccomend some WHITENING TOOTHPASTE. Instead of 2x a day use it 3x!

Don't bleach your teeth. Get that new whitening process. It's where the dentist/oral hygenist has an ultraviolet light that they aim at your teeth. Whitens em all the same cept without the bleach.

I just use Crest Whitening Effects- the Herbal Mint kind. I just always brush 2x-3x a day and it does look better.

Thanks AEagle40- I forgot about that!!

My neighbor had them and after 3 weeks i couldn't tell a differance, her teeth seemed to be the same shade. I don't know if its worth the money.

Somewhat related, has anyone seen the commercials for those things you put on your finger to brush your teeth with... uh... Oral-B Brush Ups. That's some silly sh!t

[ASpilot2be]

Actually Oral-B Brush Ups are quite effective!!!
