This morning was the second day. WoW! It's deffinately Crest's best whitening kit they have for retail as I've used thier lower priced kit,Rembrant and a $350 Dentist's Kit which all of them took the entire package to do JUST an ok job. I will say that the $350 kit I used from the dentist has been the worst kit I've used. Dentist's like to take a mold of your teeth and make you feel like this does some kind of magic making thier whitening product work better than Crest's ... it doesn't and I know plently of you have seen terrible results like this. Follow my direction below and I will save you $300! The only good part of the mold of your teeth and using the gels is that you get more coverage to your rear teeth but "IF" you do my routine below, you'll have healthy back teeth that are white enough.
The formula Crest uses in this product doesn't irratate my gums or make them feel that nerve type of tingle that's annoying which I've experienced with all whitening kits. Because there hasn't been irritation like I described, I've been waring them for 40 minutes instead of 30 minutes as I was afraid they were either too old or were not working. Nope! This product works better than the $350 kit and the others mentioned above!
I want to add that I haven't had a cavity in over 8 years and I'm 35 years old.
The bottom line PEOPLE is that you can't stick your toothbrsh in your mouth just for 30-60 seconds in the morning and 30-60 seconds at night and think that your teeth are going to to just be as white as a babys and you're gums are going to be healthy as well!!!
I had coffee stains in between my teeth about 5 years ago and I thought my teeth were rotting out. I brushed for about 2 minutes twice a day but I never worked the toothpaste into my teeth because I always applied the toothpaste to the toothbrush's brissles. That's the wrong way to do it and after I thought about the process of 30 years of brushing my teeth, I changed my way of doing the job as explained below.
1st ... apply a liberal amount of toothpaste to the tip of your tongue and allow your tongue to apply the toothpaste to every part of all of your teeth, front and back pushing the toothpaste in between your teeth. You can even let the toothpaste just sit on your teeth for 30-60 seconds before brushing. This is the only way to make use of all the toothpaste instead of having that toothpaste being pushed to the bottom of your brissles which difficult to wash out, if you wash it all out at all when done brushing. How do you suppose your toothbrush can dry properly if you have toothpaste stuck to the bottom the brissles? It can't and that in itself breed bacteria because it can't dry. Do you really like sticking that toothbrush in your mouth seeing this mornings old toothpaste still on it? Of course you don't and if you do, then somethings wrong with you! So apply the toothpaste to the tip of your tongue, not to the tooth brush's brissles!
Then take your toothbrush (I use a medium Colgate) and slowly work those brissles in between each tooth feeling the brissles actually going in between each tooth and into your gum line. It's not a race! I get sick of seeing ppl brush thier teeth like it's a 50k Sprint! I do not understand how these people think that brushing your teeth at 100 MPH for 20 seconds does the job!?!?! This is a major reason people have bad breath and teeth that look like the person is doing meth.
Make sure you floss once a day after you brush your teeth and before you use your mouthwash and don't make that a race either. You really got to work that floss (I use the waxed REACH Cinnamon brand) like you're buffing the finish on your new paint job and don't forget to get into the gumline. How can you buff a tooth with anything but the waxed floss? The string type just removes debris and the tape floss just folds up. Either way use floss once a day!
Rinse with a mouth wash twice a day (I use Listerine or generic and I like it HOT!!!). I don't believe the non alcohol rinses do the same good job as the alcohol rinses. I look at the ingredients. Either way, use a mouthwash of some sort. One thing I've noticed about mouthwashes is that the dyes in them can leave your teeth slighlty stained so I recommend you switch your colors of mouth wash each time you buy a new bottle. One month I'll use cool mint, the next cinnamon, the next the yellow one, etc. I wish they'd make a clear Listerine that had the alcohol in it like Crest's Clear non-alcohol mouthwash.
When you use your mouthwash, DON'T make that a 10 second race either. Use as directed which is usually for 30 seconds.
"IF" and I SAY "IF" YOU use Crest's 3D Toothpaste and do what I explain to you for 10 days, it'll look like you have a new grill.
THEN AND ONLY THEN ..... after the 1st ten days of your new brushing,flossing and rinsing routine have started then use these Crest WHite Strips and it'll look like you went to a Hollywood Dentist and paid $1000.
NOTE:!!!! If you are not a regular floss user flossing daily like I explain above and you don't brush your teeth properly like I explain how to above or use mouthwash twice a day like I explained above ..... then ....
I suggest waiting 30-45 days after doing the above proper way of brushing/flossing/rinsing routine BEFORE using the Crest White Strips because your gums need to get used to being flossed properly and brushed properly. If your gums are not healthy, don't expect to put any whitening strips on and not have your gums get irritated with the nerve tingling feeling which is very uncomfortable. If you can't handle the the stips for 30 minutes as directed DON'T EXPECT THE PRODUCT TO WORK!!!
I also suggest using this kit 2-3 times a year "IF" YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOUTH!!!
Good luck!
Update!!!
I used them for 8 days in a row. I can't see how my teeth can get any whiter so I'm using the rest as a touch-up which I'm doing by using one package once or twice a week.
Update 2-5-2012
I'm buying this product for a 2nd time. I have a months worth of Hawaii time coming and I will use half of the stips to make sure my smile is Hollywood perfect!

Q: Why should I use Crest 3D White Whitestrips? Why isn’t a whitening toothpaste enough?
A: Because you shouldn’t settle for a smile that’s just “white enough.” Every Crest 3D White Whitestrips teeth whitening system guarantees a whiter smile or your money back. See package for details. While Whitestrips and most whitening toothpastes remove surface-level stains, Crest Whitestrips remove set-in stains below the enamel surface for a visibly whiter smile.
The real question is why wouldn’t you use Whitestrips?
Q: Can Crest 3D White Whitestrips hurt my teeth or enamel?
A: No! When used as directed, it’s a safe and effective addition to your beauty routine. Crest Whitestrips contain the same enamel-safe teeth whitening ingredient as dentists use to whiten teeth, so you can be confident that they’re safe.
Q: How do Crest 3D White Whitestrips work?
A: Here comes the technical jargon: Crest 3D White Whitestrips are thin, flexible strips that are coated with a tooth whitening gel. Designed to conform to the shape of your teeth, they work by keeping the teeth whitening gel in place against your teeth to remove stains below the enamel surface. Whitestrips use the same, effective whitening ingredient dentists use. They deliver the whitening you need where you need it for a brighter, whiter smile!

Glow in the Dark Smile! Stopped/decreased sensitivity as well
This is my third time buying this. First off, great product! I usually use 10 treatments every 4 months (because Crest states the max is 40 treatments in 12 months). Spacing it out has done wonders. It usually take me 5 treatments before I start seeing immediate results. I used to be so embarrassed to wear a white shirt or I would wear one but not smile as much to avoid the huge contrast. I also figured out ways to combat sensitivity.First, realized I shouldnt brush my teeth at least 3 hours before using the whitestrips. It's actually best to use (IMO) if you don't brush your teeth at all in the evening/night. So the nights I used it, I only brushed my teeth at breakfast and sometimes lunch. Second, I gargled with hydrogen peroxide routinely and this helped with sensitivity and increased whiteness. Third. I noticed the height of my bottom row is short in comparison to the top. When the strips laid on my gums, it would cause a negative reaction... almost like a dull aching pain/soreness. So before I put on the strips, I used scissors to carefully trim the top of the strip off. This allowed the strip to stay ONLY on my teeth and not rest on my gums.It's amazing how many people positively comment on my teeth. I think everyone's so used to dingy white and/or yellow teeth that white teeth truly stands out! I have gone to cosmic bowling, glow in the dark golf facilities, as well as other low/special lit events and I've had strangers comment on how white or "nice" my teeth look. Mind you, my teeth have shifted from not using my retainers much so I knew they mustve been talking about the whiteness of my teeth. It's great to stand out this way. It definitely boosted my confidence and now I'm hooked to these strips!I have at least two youtube videos (look up Naturallyjoli) describing my day by day experience with my first treatment as well as a detailed teeth hygiene regimen for those that want more details before committing. I rarely drink colorful drinks (from time to time I may sip wine or juice). The drinks never stained my teeth longer than a minute or so. Actually, my lipstick stains my teeth more than drinks and it's not a permanent stain (I'll lick it off and it's gone). I was so hesitant to use this product before (I kept reading reviews and it scared me). But I am happy I finally gave in. Now it's been a full 12 months since I started and I felt this was the perfect time to give a review. I look forward to seeing how much more white my teeth can look!
