Advantages: Easy to use. Quick results. Reasonable price. Disadvantages: Strips could be longer to cover more teeth.
...these saw a product called Crest Whitestrips - a new concept in teeth whitening - and you could order these on-line. They were a product only available in the U.S. but would gladly ship to the U.K. at a small-ish charge. A few days later one of our regular visitors from the US rang and said they'd be visiting soon and did I want anything bringing back from the Grand Ol' US of A? Well, of course I did - I wanted a pack of Crest Whitestrips thank you ... ...Strips arrived……

...Proctor & Gamble - the Crest manufacturers.
So why the difference? OK, here's the rub. In the USA a beautiful white smile is a must - look at all the actresses, singers, so-called celebs. They all have really white teeth. Over here, we're a little more relaxed and the Americans have been laughing about our grey teeth for years.
American's expect to spend a lot of money on dentistry - they have great if rather expensive relationships with their ... ...to state of the art treatments. If they mess up, someone will sort it out for them. Consider now the UK.... Over here, we're standing in line for three days in the hopes of signing up with and NHS dentist or flying to Poland for a couple of fillings. If you make a mess of using a whitening product, we just don't have the infrastructure to sort it out.
OK - enough of all that - on to the product.
The product contains a box of little band-aid like ...

Advantages: Whitens teeth FAST and LASTS! Disadvantages: Does not whiten crowns, veneers, fillings or dentures.
...my teeth before I found Crest Whitestrips.
After the birth of my youngest son, my teeth deteriorated in colour. At first, I convinced myself whitening toothpaste was the answer. I quickly moved from one tooth whitening toothpaste to the next but my teeth remained embarrassingly corn yellow! Dental hygiene was not my problem as I had always brushed my teeth regularly and visited my dentist for checkups throughout the year. On one such visit, I asked ... ...searches that I came across Crest Whitestrips. My initial thought was Crest Whitestrips sounds too good to be true. I thought it could not possibly offer me dentist style whitening, especially as my stubborn teeth seemed resilient to whitening toothpaste. Why did I choose Crest Whitestrips? Well, after much trawling on the net, comparing Crest White Strips to other teeth whitening products, Crest White Strips came up trumps. As a mother on a budget, ...

Advantages: noticeable difference, easy to use, cheaper than professional whitening Disadvantages: sensitive teeth
I ordered the supreme strength version of these from an online auction site as they weren't available in the UK shops. You get enough strips for three weeks use for top and bottom teeth.
Putting them on/wearing them:
The strips were very easy to apply, they stuck to my teeth well and covered all visible teeth (front six teeth). However you can't talk once they are in as this makes them slide off your teeth. Therefore it's wise to pick a time of ... ...be disturbed by phonecalls or visitors.
They had a mild bleach smell and taste to them but nothing too off-putting, it didn't bother me at all. By the end of the half hour wearing them, some of the bleach may have leaked out into your mouth and it can be quite gooey but nothing terrible.
You're supposed to apply them twice a day for half an hour. I chose to do this while watching TV in the evening and used one strip directly after another so an ...

Advantages: Better personal image Disadvantages: Time consuming
...decided to purchase the "professional" crest strips pack through the internet which contained a set of upper strips for the top teeth and a set of lower strips obviously for the lower teeth for 21 days use. This was for 50 pounds, which I figured is still inexpensive for the guarantee of whiter teeth without the hassle of a dentist visit. The pack was delivered the next day as promised on their site.
Applying them was a fairly simple process: Twice ... ...1 strip to the upper teeth for the recommended time of 30 minutes for the best results. By the end of the day you should have used 4 strips in total and had the strips on for either 2 hours or 1 hour, depending on whether you wore the upper and lower at the same time or each one seperately for the proscribed time. I started out wearing each one seperately but swtiched to wearing both at the same time for the final 2 weeks to save time each day. Please ...

Advantages: Really simple and easy to use, effective after first few sessions Disadvantages: Taste (but you get used to it), occasionally messy
...I purchased my box of Crest whitestrips from the internet. I bought premium plus as they aren't too high a strength (high strength can mean more sensitive teeth apparently) I have been applying both top/bottom strips together back to back (2x 30mins) a day and after my second session noticed a clear difference. It's just got better and I am only half way through! However, now on my fifth day, I am getting sensitivity so I am going to stop for a day ... ...So here's the main points:
* If using for the first time, choose a low strength and work your way up
* Follow the instructions: if you get sensitivity STOP for a day or two.
* Brush your teeth after use with luke warm water to remove any remaining gel
* Keep tissues with you while using (for sneezing, dribbles etc)
* Warn others in the house when using so they understand you can't speak/answer the phone etc. I would and WILL use these again. ...

Advantages: Nice white teeth Disadvantages: bottom strips could be longer
...I read about the crest whitestrips and decided to give them a go. I ended up buying them on Ebay ( you can not buy theem in this country because of the peroxide levels) I bought the Supreme set for £30, these are the strongest available at 14% hydrogen peroxide. For this you get 21 days worth of stips for top and bottom teeth and a neat little compact to carry them in.
Now on to the nitty gritty, THEY WORK!!!! I noticed a improvement after the second ... ...basically you wrap on to your front teeth. I find that the top strips cover about 8 teeth and the bottom cover about six. You have to wear them for 30 mins morning and evening, they tell you to do bottom and top teeth at different times, but I have worn them both together and did not have a problem. Some people report sensitivity but I did not really have a problem, i suffered a little bit from time to time but it was only slight, If this happens ...

Advantages: Price, Teeth whiter in days, flexibility, easy of use! Disadvantages: Snesitive teeth!
...told me to buy the Crest Whitestrips which were about £13 off and auction site from America (They can't be sold here for legal reasons apparently), but I decided to buy the premium plus ones.
After two days I ntoiced a drastic improvement in my teeth, from mid yellow to sort of mellow-yellow. I am now in my fifth day and I have been told that my teeth look pearly white. I cannot say how good these white strips are.
I have ordered the Age Renewal ... ...going to be just as effective.
The only critism I have is that they tell you not to brush your teeth before putting them on (but don't tell you why), I now have sensitive teeth because of this, as I brushed them before. They need something to grad hold to, so brushing is therefore not necessary. The sensitivity only last for a few days.
You have to put one on the upper and one on the lower teeth for 30 minutes twice a day. I can see a considerable ...

...are the latest product from Crest that were introduced earlier this year. They proved to be fast acting and I noticed a remarkable differnce in the shade of my teeth after just 4 days of using them. They are easy to use and only need to be used once a day. I used them every evening before bedtime for roughly 30 minutes so using them was not a long drawn out process. The box contains 28 strips. 14 for the upper teeth and 14 for the lower teeth. So ...
