Summary: Tooth Bleaching Primer
Comment: I am a dentist who recommends Crest White Strips Supreme to my patients because 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 with a wet toothbrush (no toothpaste) 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 14% form of hydrogen peroxide 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. (If your teeth get too sensitive using this concentration, you can use the plain Crest Whitestrips, as it has a less concentrated bleaching agent. It will likely take longer to achieve whitening, but it may be more comfortable.

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 may occasionally "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.

Crest White Strips work for the vast majority of people. They don't 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.

Summary: Worthless
Comment: Spent forty-five bucks and I had to wear them thirty minutes twice a day for three weeks, burned my gums, and had extremely sensitive teeth for... no changes what-so-ever. Not even the slightest lightening, and I followed the rules to the letter. There's better ways to throw away fifty dollars.

Summary: FINALLY WHITE TEETH!!!!!!
Comment: I decided to buy this product after a popup showed up on my screen one day for "Celebrity Sexy Teeth" which completely bashed Crest WhiteStrips Supreme. As I began researching it, I realized that there is no research to suggest that this other supposed whitener is any good and that individuals are even unsure of the ingredients coupled with the poor reviews it received.

Anywho, onto this GEM! I bought two boxes thinking that my teeth were so yellow that I would need two boxes to get the desired results. How wrong was I! After using the strips for less than a week, I already saw results.

I experienced minimal sensitivity, but I believe my teeth were more sensitive if I brushed them before using the strips which Crest does warn against. As such, I never had to skip a few days and my teeth are getting naturally whiter and I continue to receive compliments.

The box is not completely done yet. But when it is, i hope to post a before and after shot.

I could not more highly recommend this product as I feel the results are equivalent to what one would get by paying hundreds of dollars for an hour in the dentist's chair; the results are just spread over a longer period. I feel that whitening over time, progressively, will cause people to wonder "Wow, there's something different about you but I can't put my finger on it!" Which I would much more prefer than "Oh wow, now your teeth are white!"

Summary: Very satisfied with product. BUT
Comment: The first time I bought this product at my Dentist's office for $68.00 and I should have gone back to my Dentist and bought them there again. Within three days I saw results when I used the product from my Dentist. My teeth were much lighter, but also very sensitive. I took a break for a few days and then only used the strips once a day and then cut down to every other day and then cut down to once a week.
To save some money I ordered online from here. The product I received does not seem to work the same like the one from my Dentist and I am assuming right now that I accidently received the 6.5% instead of the 14%.
I emailed the company for the first time over one week ago and have not received a reply as of yet. I am disappointed!!! I guess I have to take another $68 and buy the Whitening Strips from my Dentist again and just take the $40 plus shipping cost I paid here as a loss. :-(

Summary: The Best of the Rest
Comment: I have tried many other crest whitening strips, but these are the only ones by far that really work. I am very happy with the results and will purchase again. I had little to no tooth sensitivity.

Simply, just a fantastic way to whiten teeth at a great price!
