I was considering hooking up some Crest Whitestrips to help whiten my teeth. Has anyone here had success with this program?

Do you use the 6% or 10% hydrogen peroxide strips?

ask any dentist, bad for your teeth.







or maybe I'm just because no matter how white my teeth are, they're still crooked.

I'm gonna try Crest Night Effects. I think I'll pick some up from WalMart on the way home.



Maybe I can do a Nopistons psuedo-clinical trial, with pics and stuff.



EDIT: Night Effects is the applied peroxide film. I hear it tastes like crap. My concern is that the strips only cover the front four to six teeth. So the back teeth don't get any whiter. Also, my front teeth are a little long, so I'm concerned that the strips would be too shallow, leaving a bleach line near the gums.

i used them off and on, hadn't been to a dentist in 7 years, went, no cavities, no issues......



Dentists would love them if they could sell them... instead they would prefer you use their whitening service.

just brush your teeth wtf



just a side-note: if you want to whiten your teeth otherwise you get what you pay for. the ones for which you make trays and use a whole system probably work better (my aunt's a dentist she was talking to my sister about it once)

I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Give us a before and after pic.

My dentist doesn't use toothpaste, and I agree with him - all it does is wear away the enamel on your teeth. No cavities, white teeth and I can sink my front teeth into ice cream and leave them there, much to the disgust of my friends.
