I have always had a poor relationship with my teeth- I have an overbite and it really bugged me when I was younger. This meant I didn't look after my teeth well growing up and they were discoloured. I have pretty sensitive teeth so was hesitant to try the Crest strips. I read lots of good reviews but there was quite a bit about sensitivity.
When I used the first strip, it was very easy to use and stuck very well to my teeth. The next day my teeth were quite painful.I started using sensodyne that day- rubbed some directly on the sore teeth and began brushing my teeth with it. This has completely removed the sensitivity for me and I have been using the strips everyday since.
This is probably tmi but I tend to have lots of saliva - I have had trouble with previous whitening brands sliding around in my mouth. Generally I end up taking them out early due to this. The Crest strips really stick to your teeth- especially using the tip below. I actually have had to make an effort to remove them- this for me is reason enough to keep using the strips.
My teeth are at least 5 shades lighter than they were before I started. Overall I am very pleased and would 100% recommend them.
Yes they may work but I'm about to do some research on these strips because I wonder if they are actually ok for my teeth or if I need some work done because I have chips or am allergic. I do them when I can get some on special because in New Zealand they aren't cheap. The result is great and lets be honest everyone wants beautiful white teeth but for me I experience pain and sensitivity kind of like shocks through certain teeth maybe this is because they could be chipped or my teeth are to sensitive for the strips, I'm unsure but it sucks because I'm now nervous every time I use these. I've read a few reviews below and watched some YouTube videos and people have suggested using Sensydone for the sensitivity but is that just hiding the pain from what's really going on when I'm using these? I'm unsure But ill keep you all updated. In the meanwhile Yes they do work, Yes my teeth are amazingly white and Yes I do love the results
