I'm five months out post-braces and wow my teeth need a whitening pick me up!

Which one do you recommend that is both gentle on my teeth but will work? Teeth whitener is expensive so I'd really like to get something that works.

Thanks!

Crest Premium Whitestrips are doing an excellent job on my teeth!

I bought the Crest Premium Plus strips yesterday so I'm on day 2.
The first minute I feel sensitivity and then it fades. I like that they sort of mold themselves to each tooth and stay put. When I take it off I still have a slimy stuff all over my teeth but a quick rinse and it comes off. My teeth look a bit whiter but I am going to wait 8 more days to find out for sure. I did not take a before pic because my teeth look whiter in pics anyway. I do have the pic of me after getting debanded so Iwill compare to that.
The strips cost me $34 at Walmart...

I'm on day 6 using Crest Premium Whitening strips and OMG I am thrilled with the shades lighter my teeth are! My daughters say that they are WHITE enough now lol. So I finish on Sunday. I'll take some pics and post the after results. The sensitivity is not too bad. I only feel it for a minute or so and then it's gone. Some of my adjustments were so painful that this is a piece of cake please! lol


So I highly recommend the Crest Premium whitening strips! It has 10% hydrogen peroxide which is the strongest over the counter whitening treatment. There are others that take like 2 weeks to work and that has like 4%-6% Hydrogen Peroxide strength. I wanted to do the Zoom whitening but I cant keep my mouth open for 1 hour with cold air hitting my teeth ! I have about 4 sensitive teeth and keeping my mouth open for more than a minute hurts like H#@!! lol
