Who has used them? Did you have good luck with them? There are so many choices out there. Suggestions please. Thanks. Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy out there.

I use them occasionally, they do work. I've also tried the Target brand they work too.

I tried them years ago.  I think they worked, but I seem to remember having a hard time getting them to stay in place.  Also, I think my gums got sensitive from using them.

I have used them many times with success.  My dentist also verified with his color chart that they did whiten my teeth considerably.  I had no sensitivity with the sensitive formula.

I have used the Crest Whitestrips for years.  I use them one a year (starting in May) for maintenance and my teeth are very white.  I use the Crest Whitestrips Professional Effects set. Even though I don't generally do any of the things that will stain teeth, I have been complemented several times on how white they are.  I will continue to use them every year.

Also a user of Professional Effects. They usually have a 2 for 1 pack in January each year at WM or Target.

 

Highly recommend for noticeable results. I'm a daily coffee and tea drinker.

I've  used them but they make my teeth and gums very sensitive.  I wish I could use them without side effects.

I used to use them all the time & they worked great!  Over time, though, my teeth became too sensitive so I stopped.  I recommend them.  I could stand to use them again, myself.

I've been using Crest White Strips since they came out and I think they've improved the way they stick to your teeth....not as much sliding around.  I buy the multi packs at Costco, especially when they're on sale. You can't beat the price! It's something easy to do at home for yourself and your smile.  I try to use them when I'm taking a shower and by the time I'm done getting ready (hair and makeup), they're ready to take off.

If teeth become sensitive during whitening strip use, you can whiten every other day or every three days instead of daily. Use a F mouth rinse and a sensitive tooth paste during the whitening process. Also watch your colored beverage intake. Steer clear of coffee, tea and red wine...it will slow the process.
