Crest White Strips

Do they work? Is it worth it?

Re: Crest White Strips

DH got the clinical strength from the dentist a few weeks before the wedding. To be honest they were too strong and we both stopped after a day or two cuz it hurt our teeth.

I used the ones from the store a few years ago and those worked well.

Re: Crest White Strips

How far in advance of the wedding would you suggest using them? two weeks enough time?

Re: Crest White Strips

I love them! 2 weeks is plenty as long as you're good about doing it daily!

Re: Crest White Strips

yes the store bought ones work perfectly...as a matter of fact I only did them once a day for 4 days and my teeth got the perfect shade of white. Then I just used the rest for touch ups, I'd do it once every couple of weeks.

I guess it just depends on how white you want your teeth...definitely worth the money!!!

Re: Crest White Strips

I would do them further in advance than than a couple weeks if your going to try them. I've done them before (love them and I'm actually doing the premium 7-day right now) and I remember last time it made some white marks on my teeth, but went away after a week if I remember correctly, point being, allow time for any marks to go away in case you get any.

Also, I do them like every year and a half and they always make my teeth hurt the first day or so, but that also goes away.

My dentist is going to do Zoom for me a few weeks before the wedding. I tried Crest White strips and my teeth did get white but they look streaked to me.

The listerine ones works too. With the strips I would do it a head of time since they make your teeth sensitive.

FH and I did these after we got engaged for our epics. Let me tell you! SO UNCOMFORTABLE! They tasted awful and they fall off very easily! I think before our wedding we might invest in getting the tray type whitening where you squeeze the gel in and place the trays on your teeth. I think that would def solve the slipping issue.

Re: Crest White Strips

yes they work. It is worth it. Sometimes they make my teeth very sensitive, so dont use them the week of ur wedding.

I did this for my wedding- I used the rembrant trays. Honestly I was kicking myself for not using the crest white strips. They don't work as well- the uncomfortableness is worth it in my opinion.
