- PatiluExcellent results that are maintainingI've worn Crest white strips about once a year for decades. I had my teeth whitened professionally after my normally white teeth inexplicably become sort of grayish tinted when I was in my late twenties. (And yes, I know they say you can't whiten gray teeth but I guess I'm an exception). I then started using the Crest White strips annually to maintain my white teeth. I had always been happy with the results until last year when I got a dud version even though it was one of the more expensive versions and it said to only use it once a year, whereas the usual advice on the Crest White strips is that you can use them twice a year. I took the once a year recommendation to mean that it would be a stronger formulation then the typical white strips. It was actually my worst experience with white strips by far. There was very little improvement.
So this summer I bought white strips with some trepidation, even though this version has a bazillion five-star reviews. I was wondering if it was the white strips that I had problems with last year, or was it maybe that I was getting older and my teeth just wouldn't get as white. Well, the answer is that my teeth will get white with good quality white strips like these 3D professional effects strips. The two days of the more powerful whitening strips that are in the package does a good job of jump starting the whitening. My results were excellent and the results are maintaining well 6 weeks after I finished the strips.
Details:
I don't have much problem with sensitivity but if I do, I try to brush more gently, and I might skip a day.
I use a whitening toothpaste in the morning and a gentle toothpaste at night. I don't use mouthwash for the duration.
I avoid food and drinks that stain my teeth except for coffee in the morning. You might want to do some research because a lot of food and drinks that you might not suspect actually do stain your teeth. An example is some clear sodas. Even some toothpastes stain your teeth. You can actually find that statement on some very ordinary, major brand, mainstream tubes of toothpaste!
I wait 30 minutes after eating or drinking in the morning and then floss and brush my teeth. I then wait a solid 30-40 minutes before using the white strips.
After I've used the box of white strips, I go back to using the Crest whitening mouthwash and the same whitening toothpaste in the morning / gentle toothpaste at night routine. In my personal experience, the mouthwash doesn't do much to whiten teeth, but it is very helpful in maintaining white teeth. Be sure to follow the directions and don't eat or drink for 30 minutes after you have swished with the mouthwash for 1 minute.
Try to swish with some water afterward if you do eat/drink foods that stain teeth.
Maintain brushing twice a day. This really is a difference-maker for me. - Amazon CustomerThese whitening strips actually worked on my coffee-stained teethFinally found something that actually works for my coffee-stained teeth!
Okay, so I'm one of those people who can't function without my morning coffee (sometimes afternoon coffee too, let's be honest). Add in the occasional glass of red wine, and my teeth... well, let's just say they weren't exactly photo-ready.
I've been down this road before with whitening products. Tried those messy gels that never stayed put, those pen things that felt like I was coloring my teeth, and don't even get me started on the charcoal trend. Nothing really stuck or gave me results I could actually see.
But these Crest 3D Whitestrips? Game changer.
What you get and how it works
The box comes with 44 strips total - that's enough for 22 treatments since you need one for top teeth and one for bottom. They're all individually wrapped, which is nice because I actually took some with me on a work trip.
I committed to using them once a day for two weeks straight. And honestly? I was skeptical at first. But by day 4, I caught myself doing a double-take in the bathroom mirror. My teeth actually looked... brighter? By day 10, even my coworker asked if I'd gotten my teeth professionally done.
The difference was pretty dramatic - maybe 2 or 3 shades lighter. Even some old stains from my college years (when I drank way too much coffee) seemed to fade.
The actual experience
Using them is pretty straightforward - peel off the backing, stick them on, wait 30 minutes, then peel them off. The strips actually stay put, which was a pleasant surprise after dealing with other products that would slide around.
They're thin enough that I could still talk normally, though I probably sounded a little funny. I usually just put them on while catching up on Netflix or scrolling through my phone.
The only downside? Around day 6, I started getting these little zings of sensitivity in a couple of my teeth. Nothing unbearable, but definitely noticeable. Switching to Sensodyne for a few days helped a lot. If you've got sensitive teeth to begin with, you might want to do every other day instead.
Random tips I learned the hard way
Dry your teeth with a tissue first - the strips stick way better
Don't brush right before using them (learned this one the painful way)
Keep them somewhere cool - I left mine in my hot car once and the adhesive got weird
You get 8 extra treatments beyond the 14-day program, which is perfect for touch-ups
Bottom line
Look, I've dropped serious money on professional whitening before, and honestly? These worked just as well for a fraction of the cost. Are they perfect? No - the sensitivity thing is real, and you do have to plan around that 30-minute commitment. But if you want results you can actually see without breaking the bank or sitting in a dentist's chair, these are legit.
I'm definitely ordering another box for maintenance - probably every few months or so.
The good stuff:
Actually works (saw results by day 4)
Easy to use once you get the hang of it
Strips don't slide around like other brands
Way cheaper than professional treatments
The not-so-great:
Some tooth sensitivity (but manageable)
Half an hour is kind of a commitment
Can't drink anything while wearing them
Hope this helps if you're on the fence! Happy to answer questions if you have any. - Lori D. EwingReally works!Easy to use and really work! In just 10 days my teeth are noticeably whiter. I may not use all 22 sets as it may make my teeth too white. I had no tongue or gum irritation or tooth sensitivity. It has no awful taste or feeling like you have glop on your teeth. I highly recommend!
- Denisse Villarwhitens well but caused some sensitivityThe results with these strips were noticeable, my teeth definitely looked brighter after a few uses. They stay in place well and are easy to apply, which makes the whole process pretty simple. The only downside for me was the sensitivity. By the third or fourth treatment, my teeth started feeling a bit tender, so I had to space out the applications. The whitening still worked, just needed to go slower than recommended. Overall, they’re effective if you want a quick boost in brightness, just be mindful if you’re prone to sensitivity.
- KaiDoes the job. I'll update when I've completed the 20 daysFinally went on sale again... snatched 2 boxes this time. About 5 days of use as directed and can see a slight difference in my teeth regaining their whiteness. My dentist moved out of state and I haven't been satisfied with any I've tried since. So this is a good of product to hold me over until I find another good dentist with great staff.
