Hello people. I know theres been plenty of questions on the whitestrips and stuff. I got my braces off at the end of September and decided to give the whitestrips a try. I went with Crest Whitestrips Premium Plus, 10 day. These are the results
Top is before, bottom is after, with a little chopped every other tooth comparison below that.
The actual results are more obvious than the pictures! I've only had any tooth sensitivity for the past 2 days, and its very very minor. I'd recommend these any day, well worth the $35.
I like the Whitestrips too. Used them a year ago, and still get compliments on how white my teeth are.
My only complaint with them is that they don't really treat very far back. When I use them, they only cover my first premolars on top. Guess it's not really a problem for everyday use - you don't smile with your back teeth. But it was a noticeable difference from front to back, in the pictures my ortho took with my lips held away from the teeth. O vanity!
Yes, they do work. I'm using the Listerine disolving ones. But even after a week I am seeing good results. THere are several brands out there, some with trays etc. But the thangs do work.
