Anybody getting this?  It's the TSV on the H.  

 

I decided to try it, but I am only wanting to keep my crowns their original color.

 

After 2 years in braces trying to save one of my front teeth, we decided to try whitening when I got them off using the plastic trays I was using for temporary retainers prior to getting an implant and my 4 top front crowns replaced.  It was not very successful.  I had been told several years ago that teeth whitening didn't work so great on teeth that had gray in them vs yellow teeth.  

 

So, I'm just hoping to keep my new crowns their original color and my bottom teeth and the surrounding teeth the color the crowns were matched to since I drink a lot of tea and eat a lot of staining foods.  I didn't realize how much staining food I ate until I had to quit during the whitening process (which is another reason I'm getting the Intelliwhite).  Plus, it's not a weeks-long process and promises not to irritate my gums.

Please report back and let us know how it works.  I was tempted to order, but decided not to.  I have some custom trays that I use with the Opalescence that does a pretty good job, plus I use Super White toothpaste. I've gone through braces twice in my life and the second time I was in my 40's!  I always had the dentist do my caps a little bit whiter than my original teeth, but also I didn't know the Intelliwhite would lighten those as well.  I drink coffee and red wine but try to swish my mouth with water in between sips of the wine.  Hopefully that helps.  Good luck with this product and hopefully it will work.  I love having white teeth.  They are right when they say yellowing/discolored teeth age a person.  So true.

It will not lighten dental work any more than their original color. But, the fact that they claimed it would work on dental work was a big selling point to me since my front teeth are crowns. I don't remember what the gel was that I used with the trays, but it really irritated my gums.  I don't do red wine, so that's not an issue.  I have to use Sensodyne toothpaste because of sensitive teeth.  I use the Sensodyne ProNamel which is supposed to help maintain the enamel.

I've had it for a year and it really does work well.  I use it for touch ups once a month.  I highly recommend this product.  I didn't pay this much for it though.  I don't have any crowns so don't know if it works on unnatural teeth.

I don't think I have seen it cheaper than today's TSV.
