I have teeth sensitive to whitening. Can using Whitestrips make it worse?
If you already have teeth sensitive to whitening, but still want to use Whitestrips, Gentle Routine Whitestrips offer less whitening-related sensitivity.
Some people may temporarily experience a small amount of tooth sensitivity when using whitening products, which is completely normal, but know that Whitestrips are absolutely enamel safe.
How are whitening treatments different than whitening toothpastes? Do I really have to bother with two forms of whitening?
Tooth stains can fall in two general categories, extrinsic stains and intrinsic stains. Extrinsic stains are stains at the tooth's surface. Intrinsic stains are stains beneath the tooth's surface. Although most whitening toothpastes are a great way to remove stains on a daily basis, most only work on the surface to provide an extrinsic benefit to your smile.
Whitestrips, on the other hand, work both on surface stains as well as beneath the surface of the enamel. Going beyond where most whitening toothpastes leave off, Whitestrips whiten beneath the enamel surface for an overall whiter smile. Because of the extrinsic and intrinsic value of Whitestrips, you'll see results that are noticeable.
Once I get a whiter smile, what is the best way to protect my new look?
Once you've achieved the whitening results you want, one way to maintain your whiter smile and protect against everyday stain buildup is using Crest 3D White 5 Minute Touch-Ups. Crest 3D White 5 Minute Touch-Ups are a quick, simple way to maintain your whiter smile.
Another way to maintain your whiter smile is to use the collection of Crest 3D White products, which include toothbrushes, toothpastes and rinses. When used daily, the collection of Crest 3D White products will keep your smile whiter and brighter, guaranteed.
In your opinion, are Crest 3D White Whitestrips really the best whitening option out there?
A lot of my patients ask advice on which brand to use for a whiter, brighter smile and I always tell them Crest 3D White.

What's the difference between Whitestrips and in-office, professional treatments?
There are 2 main differences between most in-office whitening treatments and Crest Whitestrips: 1) how the whitening ingredient is applied and 2) cost.
Both whitening methods use the same whitening ingredient: hydrogen peroxide. However, Intensive Professional Effects Whitestrips use a 10% concentration, while most in-office procedures use up to a 35% concentration. Lights and lasers are also used during in-office procedures to help show results more quickly than at-home procedures.
However, because of this immediacy in results, in-office treatments cost more than Whitestrips. So, if speed is a priority for you, but cost is an issue, then try Intensive Professional Effects Whitestrips. They deliver professional-level results in the convenience of your home.
If the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is lower than in-office procedures, then do Whitestrips really work?
Absolutely. In fact, Crest 3D White Intensive Professional Effects and Professional Effects Whitestrips have enough whitening ingredient concentration to provide professional-level results.
How can I be sure which Whitestrips are right for me?
Whitestrips offer seven treatments each tailored to different needs. The difference in each treatment is in the level of whitening and duration of wear time. On the front of most packs, you’ll find a whitening meter that clearly defines the level of results you can expect with use of a full pack. For visible results that require only 30-minutes daily, there are three great options: Crest 3D White Vivid, Advanced Vivid and Professional Effects.
What if I want faster whitening? Is there anything that I can use to start seeing results immediately?
For whiter results in less time, try Crest 3D White Intensive Professional Effects.
Offering whiter results as effective as a professional treatment, IntensiveProfessional Effects will give your smile Crest's highest level of whitening in just 1 week — perfect for an upcoming occasion.

Customer Reviews
Application is painless. It doesn't even suggest brushing your teeth first (in fact it recommends that you don't brush your teeth immediately before application). The whitening strips has a relatively thick layer of gel, and the substrate film material is very pliable yet durable. Its purpose is trying to simulate a dental office treatment, where your teeth will be immersed in a tray of (highly concentrated) peroxide gel/mud. It stuck to my teeth with little effort and dexterity. Within minutes, my teeth was engulfed in a bubbly peroxide bath.
Having this on feels a bit strange in the mouth, and I talked like I had a big tongue, but I tried to carry on as normal. It stuck to the teeth very well, despite my biting right over the strips and licking them. The bubbly area also largely stayed put, and little disturbed by saliva and movement of the lips and tongue. Bubbly substance does seep out in the form of thick gooey film(or it's just a mixture of saliva and gel substrate). My teeth felt the effects: I wouldn't call it discomfort, but after 5 minutes I started feeling something is happening to my teeth, though it's very slight (and probably depends on people's sensitivities).
Taking it off after two hours was easy: just rip it off. I deliberately left a few teeth half covered to see if there are any before/after differences. I noticed that many of my teeth developed white marble-like patterns, or probably what the instruction referred to as "white spots". It seems to develop around areas where the teeth's surface may have imperfections and crack lines. It's said to eventually go away and I believe it.
Thus interestingly, while I wasn't expecting much effects, it seems to have done something. Alas, the experimental tooth where I left half uncovered didn't reveal much difference between the treated and untreated area, other than the marble pattern of white lines that formed on the surface of many treated teeth. I probably have deep coloration problems that cannot be treated by surface oxidation through a moderate peroxide concentration? Anyway, in other words, it didn't work all that much for me.
That said, those white marks on my teeth suggests that the strips did contain a decent amount of peroxide concentration to at least show its effects in two hours, which is on the faster end of average home treatment strips. I had my friend try it and it didn't seem to make that much difference for her either, however.
Therefore, while the active ingredient seems to be layered on thicker and more concentrated than average, it still doesn't seem to whiten that much for us. I wonder if more applications will help, but certainly not at only 4 times a year or once every 3 months. It's probably not strong enough to give off that much lasting effect with such infrequent use.
My only complaint is that there's gummy residue remaining on your teeth after removing the strips. I had to pick / wipe it off for a few minutes.
I was happy with the strips. Sure they were supposed to be used over a few months, but I had more immediate needs. I have slightly sensitive teeth, and these did not bother me at all. The strips are a little strange feeling, but they did not effect my speech. There was a Peroxide taste after a few minutes. I had to hold off on eating and drinking for a couple of hours though...
I give 'em a thumbs up!
The answer is no, not really. The strips are just as easy to use as the original, and in fact are much "stickier" - there is a lot less slipping than with the 2-week kind. Keeping them in for two hours turned out to be a lot less comfortable that the 30 minutes needed for the 14-day version - my teeth started to ache a bit (and I don't have sensitive teeth), plus it is hard to completely relax your mouth while you are aware of these strips, so my jaw was a little achy towards the end. They are harder to remove than the original (because of the increased stickiness) - but that's not big deal. However, after removing them and cleaning the residual goo off of my teeth, I was disappointed. They were whiter, but not nearly as white as at the end of the 14-day treatment. The instructions say the results should last 3 months, but don't clearly indicate whether it is safe to use them more frequently, so I don't know if I can try another application sooner to see if I can improve the results (there are 4 sets of strips in the box).
2 hours was a long time to keep them in, and that 2 hours included discomfort I don't feel with the 14-day version. I think I'll go back to the 14-day version - popping them on after breakfast in the morning for 30 minutes (more than the time it takes me to shower, get dressed and get ready to leave the house) is much easier and the results are much more noticeable. Besides, as a random fringe benefit, I've noticed that the "oh so clean" feeling you have after using the strips discourages snacking for a while, so 2 weeks of no mid-morning munchies (or do them at night if that's your weak time) leaves you smiling brighter AND maybe a bit skinnier!
