I have always had good results with the Crest White Strips.

I just got my braces off yesterday, and though they looked better than I expected, I used a strip...

:D 27 months and one day! I thought I could see through the brackets and know how I would look...but I was still surprised! I said :those aren't my teeth!" I am SOOOOOO happy with the outcome! Just one teeny space where the gap was and that is OK with both of us. My dentist may be able to do so...

Thanks...I tried the Glide Threader floss and it is better than the Oral B!
Still not EASY, but better. I'm sure practice will improve it too!
