I brought these off eBay after discussions in the forum about teeth whitening. They were way cheaper than buying here.
The strip comes in a foil wrapper. Open it and there is a sheet with a bottom and a top sized strip. Unpeel the lower one first. Place along the base of your teeth above the gums, use the finger pads to smooth long your teeth then fold the top bit over the top of the teeth. Then do the top teeth.
First time I used this I was giggling to myself how odd it felt. Don't try talking! My phone rang for a business call. I tried but just couldn't talk properly! I normally leave them on for the hour. You can do quick applications if needed.
These do work. I was really worried about using these as I have sensitive skin and expected a reaction. Nope nothing! No sensitivity to gums or teeth. I don't get the brilliant white like you see tv stars with, but I think that's down to your tooth colour. There is definitely a change for the positive. I love how it's not messy and how you don't need the trays. You can't use after you have brushed your teeth as it stops the product soaking in. Once I remove the strip I use my tooth brush damp to scrub in the left over product then brush with toothpaste.
I had always wanted to whiten my teeth but the fear of going to the dentist always kept me away so I looked for alternatives that didn't involve me going into a dentist. I found an online website that sold the 3d Crest strips and I ordered me a pack of 20, I couldn't wait to give these a go!
The first time I used these it was really awkward, it comes with a top strip and a bottom strip, the strip is plastic and it has this gel on it, you mould it onto your teeth and let the magic begin! The first few times it was hard to talk or do normal things because my mouth would accumulate with saliva and it felt so weird! But after a few times it got easier.
After the 3rd go I noticed my teeth were 2-3 shades lighter, I was totally amazed! By the time I had finished my 20 strips my teeth were so white, the whitest I had ever seen! But with these new pearly whites my teeth had become very sensitive, just the fresh cold air was enough to make my teeth hurt, Sensodyne sensitive toothpaste did help keep the edge off the sensitivity.
These strips are fantastic, a lot of my friends and family brought these after seeing my teeth, the results are unreal!
Tips: When applying the strips to your teeth use a toothpick to lightly trace over the edges of your teeth so the gel gets into the corners and edges of your teeth
