Crest Whitestrips Supreme Professional Whitening 84 strips

This is a review for the Supreme Pro Strength version. (White Box - 84 Strips) I have purchased hundreds of products via Amazon without reviewing any of them before but I'm so happy with this product that I have to offer my 2 cents! About Me: I am a 32 year old male. I have always had regular dental checkups every 6 months however I did not brush my teeth enough as a teenager, plus I was a heavy iced tea/soda drinker so I yellowed my teeth quite a bit over the years. I also have very sensitive teeth! A few years back I used the regular whitestrips and they were literally worthless. Couldn't keep them in place and I didn't notice any difference in my teeth. They just were not strong enough. I really didn't stick with them long enough though. I have really hoped to have my baby white teeth back for so long so I started looking into the expensive kits. Many of the reviews on Amazon made it seem like it could be a dangerous and expensive process so I ventured back to Crest and gave them a second chance. How did these things do? Pretty good so far! Well here is my process. 1. Toothpaste! As some reviews state it is a good idea to use a sensitive toothpaste 2-4 weeks prior to using the strips. I used the Crest Pro Health toothpaste and mouthwash twice a day. (The Pro-Health line has had caused very negative reactions with some people due to many side effects. I did not have any brown stains while using it but I did start burning some of the skin from my lips after a week or so of using the product. Still the Pro-Health products REALLY did a great job cleaning my teeth, though they were still yellow. They did feel cleaner than with any other toothpaste I have ever used!) 2. Dentist! I began using the toothpaste/mouthwash mentioned above three weeks before my scheduled checkup. I did this for two reasons. A: If I had any brown staining from the toothpaste it could be removed quickly. B: I wanted my teeth as clean as possible before using the new whitestrips. 3. Whitestrips! (I switched to Sensodyne whitening toothpaste at this point because I was worried about the strips and Pro-Health paste hurting my gums as they are both very strong.) The box states to use the strips twice a day for 30 mins. I do not recommend that at all unless you are a sadist! I was VERY nervous about having sensitive teeth with this product but it really wasn't an issue. I'm sure if people are reading this than they are probably anxious about it as well. My first application was the night of my dental checkup. A. Brush teeth in the morning with Sensodyne and mouthwash. B. Later in the afternoon/evening brush your front teeth with just a wet brush to prepare them, then put the strips on for 30 mins. (I have only used the whitestrips ONCE EVERY OTHER DAY!) C. After 30 mins take them off and rinse out your mouth with warm water. D. Before bed brush your teeth with the sensodyne again. Application: Getting these things on is tricky the first few times. Start with the top first as the strip is longer and not as much of a pain. Center the strip in the middle and then work it around until you have it at your gum line even all the way around. Repeat the same process with the bottom strip. I will admit the bottom strip just doesn't want to sit in place and wrap as nicely as the top, at least not for my teeth. That's the only negative to the product to me, however they give you so many in the box you could always use the extra top strips on the bottom if you wanted. (Tip: When you have the strips on gently use a toothpick on your teeth to seat the strips on the little areas between your teeth. You want the solution to touch all of the visible parts of your teeth to whiten them.) Results: Sensitivity - I had a little sensitivity the day after my second application. Just a wiggling feeling to my front teeth but nothing to worry or complain about. Sensitivity means they are working. Since then I have gotten used to the process and have not had a single problem. I don't feel anything really. I might even be able to use the strips once every single day now but I'm not pushing my luck. White - I have used only seven sets of strips so far! First Set: Didn't really notice any results Second Set: Still no results Third Set: Teeth do look a little less yellow Set Four: Noticing the top teeth have lost a lot more of the yellow Set Five: Top teeth have lost 80% of the yellow, bottom teeth around 50$ but still yellow near the bottom gum lime Set Six: Now we are talking! Top teeth are WHITE! Bottom teeth are about 75$ done Set Seven: Teeth are whiter than ever, still not sparkle white but we are getting there! Teeth feel very smooth as well from the entire process! I don't want to damage my tooth enamel so I am planning to quit using the strips around 12 applications. I honestly could quit at seven and be more than happy but I want to see how white they can get! I have already gotten my money's worth out of these. I can't explain how happy this product has made me. WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY that they ask for it. It gave me back my baby white teeth. :)

I have used this system twice and have been very satisfied with the results. Please don't let the reviews claiming extreme pain and discomfort scare you-this doesn't happen to everyone to the same degree. I experienced some discomfort, but nothing I had to take medication for, and I didn't need to use Sensodyne, though that sounds like a good idea. I say "discomfort" rather than pain, because it really wasn't that bad-at first, I got little electric shock lightnings zizzing around on my teeth once in a while, so I cut back to applying the strips only once a day and that fixed it. I was then able to go back to twice a day. The only other time I felt anything bad was when too much of the strip was covering my gum area and I felt a burning sensation-I adjusted the strip and that helped. As soon as I took it off, the pain was gone. Yes, your teeth will get a bit sensitive, but this is a normal side effect, and I didn't find it unbearable-more of an occasional annoyance. It will go away after you have finished using the product! My advice to anyone experiencing excessive sensitivity with this product is to cut back to one application a day until the condition improves, then go back to two applications a day. Apply one set in the morning, and the other in the evening-a break between the applications helps. PLEASE don't brush your teeth before applying the strips if they are sensitive-it will make them feel worse, and it really won't make a difference in the final result (according to my dentist). Other pros for me are cost-before using these, I looked into Lumineers and decided that I will have to win the lottery before I can afford them, and I also can't afford whitening at the dentist's. I also like the length of the strips-unless you have an extremely wide, Joker-sized smile, the longer length should work for you. The only real cons for me are that it takes FOREVER to finish the entire regimen, even if you apply the strips twice a day, and also, it really isn't advisable to wear them if you are going to have to talk a lot, as they may cause you to drool (!) and too much movement will cause the strips to slip. I have been very happy with the results-after a week my teeth had already lightened noticeably. I still have two weeks to go and I am thrilled with the way my teeth have whitened. The booklet states that this will not work on tetracycline-darkened teeth, but that isn't strictly true as it vastly improved mine! It is true that it will not lighten dentalwork or fillings. The last time I did this, the results lasted for a full year-I am not a smoker and only occasionally drink red wine or coffee, so that may have had something to do with it. Overall, a product I am very happy with and will continue to use, regardless of the minor discomforts!

In the past, I have used whitening strips from the Crest line of products and I found this particular set to be much less irritating to my gum line. I also experienced very little tooth sensitivity as well. The product truly whitened my teeth up to 2 or 3 shades lighter than the original color! When I initially sought a whitening product, I was deterred by the high price range for professional bleaching which is only available through a dentist and I did not want my teeth to look as white as seen on celebrities and models. So, going after a natural look, I gave this brand a shot. Interestingly, I only had to use half of a box (applied the strip only once a day for 30 minutes at a time) and obtained very satisfactory results. Others have commented about how white my teeth are and are thinking about trying the product too. The results are very visible to me when I peruse before and after pictures of my teeth in various photos. This is the second time that I've used this type of strip and find that I have to use them throughout the year (every 4 to 5 months## for touch-ups. The strips are very easy to apply and the instructions are easy to understand. You will find that the strips will slip off of your bottom row of teeth #you simply have to readjust them) and my stomach was a little irritated from the chemicals #this immediately dissipated after I stopped using the strips). I highly recommend this product to others.

can leave them a bit sensitive for a short period but that subsides. i've used these for years. my teeth are definitely staying white even through a lot of tea and coffee drinking

Les bandelettes du bas sont trop courtes à mon goût et ne couvrent donc pas assez de dents. Dommage, le produit était parfait il y a quelques années. Sinon, le blanchiment fonctionne bien.

Does exactly what you think it will do; whitens your teeth over time. You only really need half of them; you could sell the rest to your friends. Just make sure you brush your teeth every day; it really does weaken the surface of your teeth. Make sure NOT to do it right before you use the strips, or the substance will have a hard time being effective. Do it sometime after. Search up on google how to effectively use whitestrips. There's quite a few tips. Also you can spit out the residue on your teeth after your 30 minutes with the strips. Bottom line, research, research, research before you buy.

These are the same ones our dental office sells, except much cheaper to buy them here. They work well for whitening without irritating my gums.

I regret this purchase, wish I noticed all the good reviews- and any review at that- were from 2 years ago. Been using these day and night for a few days now and see no difference, but have extremely sensitive teeth, have felt pain I’ve never felt before using white strips while these are actually on my teeth. They don’t stay in place, I use trays I have from another kit on top to hold them in place. I thought the strong peroxide meant they work faster but if anything I feel like my teeth look worse? Perhaps because the pores are open from the peroxide absorbing more stains from the foods and drinks I consume. For $65 on sale, I could buy two sets of a different whitening kit. I’ve used a $30 kit from Walmart before and seen results with no sensitivity after a few days. Will continue to use the kit to the end and update if the pain and money (and time.. twice a day for 3 weeks?) is worth it.
