Product Reviews of Crest 3D White Advanced Vivid Whitestrips, 14 Pouches Containing Upper/Lower Strips (28 Total Strips)
Product Review: 8 days in and about one shade lighter according to Dentist provided chart!
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Hi All,
I received this product and ironically had a dentist's appointment for a cavity filling on the same day. After my filling I asked the dentist about this product and if she would let me know what shade I was currently showing...(YUCK might I add due to my coffee and smoking habits). She showed me a chart (which she gave me so I could keep it as a reference) which in good light allows you to see your current shade. Yellow! Yuck!
Off I went to start using these strips rather then spend the hundreds of dollars required for a full on bleaching treatment at a dentist.
So far I am about 8 days into the strips and I am noticing a little shy of ONE shade lighter. They are working. I doubt that in the next 6 days there will be a miracle...but I think I will be over one shade lighter.... Ironically again, my cleaning appointment is set around the same time so I will get a professional opinion and post my results.
Here are some thoughts/tips on the strips themselves:
The strips are packaged in individual little packets which makes it easy to take one with you when you cant spend the time to use it at home...for example if you travel for work like I do.
When you open the packet, there are two strips on a little piece of plastic. You peel the strips of and stick them in place on your teeth.
Be careful so you can get as close to your gums as possible without sticking them on your gums. Sounds like a project, but it truly is easy.
Press the strip onto your teeth, so the sticky part is touching the teeth. They start to work and must be left on for a total of 30 minutes.
When the 30 minutes is up, you peel it off and voila..day one is over...
I would recommend a quick brushing after you take them off to clean up your teeth and get rid of any residue...of which there is very little.
The best part is that once you put the strip on it does not get in your way....you can drink water, talk properly (without sounding slurred), and go about your routine. 30 minutes is a very short time as it is...so you can always put it on during the day when you have some slow time at work or after dinner when you are watching TV, etc... There is a slight tingle that you will feel around the gums....that simply means they are working. My teeth are NOT overly sensitive so my results may be different that yours....its one of those things. I have had bleach treatments before which felt like there was a fire in my mouth...these are not as intensive...but as with anything that you use internally...speak to your medical professional before you use them.
Remember, this is not a miracle cure for stained teeth...you have to take care of them and brush 2-3 times daily and floss like the dentist's recommend. (yeah I wrote that part because I know she is watching and going to come after me :-)) But seriously....these will help you remove some stains and make your teeth look better. But you must do your part to keep the stains off.
As I stated above, I have an appointment for cleaning in about 7 days and will post a professionals opinion of the whitening strips after I get the results. What I see and what the dentist see's may not be eye to eye....no pun intended.
More later......
Hope that helps somewhat. Please comment with questions....I will be glad to answer what I can.
Product Review: A Pretty Good Product
Summary: 4 Stars
I used the strips for two weeks as directed, but I left them on for more than a half-hour per day. My teeth experienced minimal sensitivity, but it wasn't bothersome. At the end of the treatment, I notice that the teeth covered by the strips are a few shades whiter than those in the back that weren't touched. I recommend this product, but try to get it on sale! You can find online coupons that you can use at local stores. When I purchased Whitestrips Advanced Seal from Amazon, the set was $22, I'm not sure why the price has gone up since.Product Review: A terrific product. Best Whitestrips yet!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I've used Crest Whitestrips for years. I've always been a fan and even prefer them to the one-hour Brite Smile professional treatment, which I've done twice before.
These are the best Whitestrips I've used. The 30-minutes, once per day for 14 day schedule is superior to the twice per day schedule of other versions, in my opinion. Importantly, the product does indeed seal over your teeth very nicely making it possible to have a conversation while using the product.
The result was also excellent, with nice whiteness and a uniform bright appearance. I just saw my dentist last week and he said, "Your teeth look beautiful", which is a direct quote. While he also sells more expensive professional treatments, he said that he thinks that Crest makes an excellent product.
My recommendation is 5 stars all the way. This item is highly recommended!
Product Review: Advanced Seal White Strips
Summary: 5 Stars
These are the best strips I have ever used. I have used the Crest Classic white strips and the Aquafresh whitening trays. These stay on the best and therfore produce the best whitening results.Product Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used the white strips before the advanced white strips came out. They tasted disgusting and would not stick to my teeth. They really didn't improve the color of my teeth either. When I heard they came out with new strips that were supposed o stay on better and not taste so bad I had to try them. I don't smoke but I do drink coffee everyday, sometimes numerous times daily. After the first time I used the strips to my surprise, I definitely noticed an improvement. I have been using them now for over a week and my teeth are drastically whiter. They stick very well and the taste is not overwhelming. On the bad side they do make your teeth a bit sensitive so I cut down to every other day instead of once a day. I would highly recommend using them.
