Id have it done at the dentist! I wanted to do it too, but my dentist said that because my front teeth are bonded they wont lighten and would show up darker then the rest of my teeth! yuck!

Have your teeth whitening done professionally. My dentist did a fabulous job. He says the over-the-counter stuff works for maintainence, but for really white teeth, you have to have them lightened. If you want more info, FM me!

They worked really good for me the 1st few weeks. Are your teeth bonded? It wont work if they are.

i remember seeing pix of you somewhere on this site. your teeth are amazing! you have a big beautiful smile. i wouldn't worry if the color is not exactly what you want.
i am a big teeth person!

ETA: I TRY!! But my teeth/smile just doesn't get much bigger than this!

ive been using them and have seen a good result. i see it more when im next to someone else in the mirror. (yes, i make my family compare so i can see it!) anywho...i once used the brush on stuff and it worked great. then the next time i used it, it didnt work one bit. it may have been the box. if you have time, i would try it again. then if if it doesnt work, get it done professionally. my dentist does it for 300. i would go to him but 300 bucks is a lot tome right now!

Ciminok..what a gorgeosu smile you have...you are cute as can be!!! Thanks everyone for the advice..I am going to try the box again, but it takes 14 days and my wedding is in 10! But atleast maybe they'll be a bit whiter, my teeth arent gross..I just wanted sparkly white, maybe Ima bit unrealistic! Ill be seeing family this weekend and maybe the'll notice, Fh says he notices, but I think hes just saying that to stop me from freaking out
