I was about to get them at the store but decided against it until I get more opinions. They are relatively expensive but I saw the premium brand on sale for $40.00.

Anyone tried them? Your experiences?

I used Crest Whitestrips when they first came out and they are awesome! I didn't even use the whole box before I saw a significant difference. Also, it has been like, 3 or 4 years since, and people still comment on how nice and white my teeth look. I am a big fan of the whitestrips.

Did they make your teeth more sensitive to hots and colds?

No, and my teeth were pretty sensitive to start with.

I should also add, I think they say on the box that it will last a year on average, but I don't drink coffee/smoke, so that may be part of the reason it has lasted so long for me.

I just started a box for the first time this week and by day 4 my teeth were noticeably whiter.

They get the big thumbs up from me.

Yeah, they do work and they are pretty good. My teeth did get more sensitive to temperature, than before. But not noticable anymore.

The strips are too expensive.

I use the paste that you apply yourself, it's the same thing, just manually applied and you can control how much you use and where you want it.

It's just hyrogen peroxide gel afterall, same thing as on the strips but it only costs half as much.

I'm using the Colgate version right now as it was a little cheaper than the Crest paste @ Wal-Mart.

I am day 6 today, and I am only using them one time per day.

At first i would brush my teeth and then apply them about 20 minutes later. That made my teeth way to sensitive. I now use them in the car when I am driving home and my teeth are back to normal sensitivity, and they are getting much whiter.

Hurray for white stripes...as I am drinking my coffee!
