Review: ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE DENTIST'S TRAY
Beauty product: 4 Stars
After the tray made for me by my dentist wibbled and wobbled out of shape I was reluctant to pay another several hundred for a new one. Reluctantly, he suggested I use these Whitestrips.Actually, I don't know whether or not his treatment gave me a "headstart," but I couldn't be happier with the results from this product.
Review: It hurts to look good
Beauty product: 3 Stars
Well me my mom, and my cousin all tried this and it seems to be working good. i have been using it for about 3 days now and i have noticed good improvement. But it realy, realy, REALY hurts. As i speak i am suffering great pain. But then again i guess it will be over soon enough. So if you can suffer a week of excruciating pain, i say go for it. If you have remotely sensetive teeth, i say just use the whitening toothpaste or the whitening gum. Review: My premature "one day" review
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I should probably wait for the full 7 days, but I thought I'd share my one day experience. The instructions say it's better not to use them "right after you brush your teeth," so this morning, I woke up, and put on the strips. Almost an hour later, I took them out, and I went into the bathroom and spit in the sink, because it's probably not good to swallow peroxide. My spit was dark colored. I thought "Am I bleeding?" And looked closer. No, it wasn't blood red. It was more of a coffee-dirt brown. I said to myself (in so many words), "what the heck is that crap?" Whoa. It must be the gunk that was coming off my teeth. I've never used whitening stuff before, so I guess I'm seeing 35 years of coffee and soda coming off. So I suppose it must really work. So, the moral of the story is, "When your dentist tries to sell you veneers for cosmetic reasons, try the easiest, cheapest solution first." Otherwise, you'll always wonder, "What if I tried those strips first?" Review: One of the better whitening systems

My review is for the Cres Whitestrips "Premium," which I believe is the newest version of this product. I have not tried the original. The premium whitestrips contain a total of 28 strips (14 for the top and 14 for the botom) that you wear twice a day for 30 minutes each strip. 2 on the top teeth, two on the bottom. The strips are coated with a small layer of hydrogen peroxide, which is the bleaching agent. I found a moderate amount of difficulty wearing two strips at once (one on the top and bottom), so I had to wear these at seperate times, which meant for 2 hours of usage a day. Sometimes the bottom strip can slide around a bit so I decided it was best to wear it by itself. I was skeptical of this product at first, but it really did whiten my teeth by about 4 or 5 shades. My teeth weren't really bad to begin with, but they were a bit yellow from smoking. I imagine this product would be the most effective on really yellow teeth.
I have been told that the agent used in the whitestrips is almost identical in strength to what professional dentists use. I can't verify this but if I had spent $300 for this amount of whitening at the dentist, I would still be satisified. These strips are also more effective than the Crest Night Effects.
The one problem I had with these strips is they really hurt my teeth the first 2-3 days I used them. The peroxide made my teeth really sensitive and I kep thinking about chewing aluminum foil for a couple days. The pain waasn't extreme, but uncomfortable enough that I considered discontinuing use of the product. The sensitivty mostly went away halfway through the week though, and I would say it was worth it. One thing to note, is that the strips for your bottom teeth are smaller than the top and contain a bit of extra coated strip on the end after you peel it off the backing. You can take a pair of scissors and cut this little square off, and use it as an extra strip. It fits nicely over my top 4 front teeth, so I actually got double whitening for the price on my tops.
Overall, I was very satisifed with this product and will purchase it again in 6 months. I don't know if it got rid of "14 years worth of stains" like it advertised, but it definately made a noticeable difference, and was much easier to use than all of the other whitening products that require you to apply a paste to your teeth or where an insert filled with paste. I was able to wear these at work and communicate effectively without anyone even knowing they were in, and if you're dissatisifed, they come with a complete money back guarantee. I'm hesitant to only give it 4 stars, but the pain those first few days causes me to hold back on a perfect rating.
Review: IT WORKS...IT REALLY WORKS!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
My son first bought these white strips six months ago, as, despite regular cleanings by the dentist, his teeth refused to look anything other than pale yellow. In desperation, he turned to these white strips. I was originally skeptical, but sure enough, after two weeks of usage, he had gleaming, pearly white teeth.
Next my daughter tried them, though I thought her teeth were white enough. Now she, too, has gleaming pearly white, movie star choppers. So, I decided to try it, as my teeth were leaning towards beige. Well, I, too, now sport gleaming white teeth, without having paid a dentist an exorbitant amount for whitening them.
The system is very easy. Twice a day, one applies a small piece of treated film to one's upper and lower teeth for about half an hour. One then removes the film and rinses. It is that simple. Two weeks later, one is left with teeth that practically glow in the dark, as this product really whitens and brightens one's teeth. This product is an excellent value, as it really works.
