5.0 out of 5 stars Crest Strips to Keep Your Teeth White, April 20, 2009

Crest Whitestrips-Daily Multicare Formula is designed for "maintenance" bleaching, to maintain the whiteness of your teeth once the desired shade has been reached. Therefore, one should use a Crest Strip product such as the entry-level system Classic Whitestrips-Crest Dental Whitening System, 56 Strips, or a stronger product like Crest Whitestrips Premium- 7- Day Dental Whitening Formula System, 28 Strips, before the Daily Multicare Formula is used.

This product is used for just 5 minutes a day to maintain the whiteness of bleached teeth. (All the other Crest Whitestrip products advise a 30-minute treatment once or twice a day protocol). Since there are 84 strips (42 upper/42 lower), this enough for a full 6 weeks of daily bleaching.
There are virtually no side-effects, such as sensitive teeth, or "burned" gums, as the contact time is just 5 minutes. This system has a 6% hydrogen peroxide gel, the same as Crest Classic Whitestrips.

An alternative to this product of daily bleaching maintenance is to use one of the original systems again, such as Classic Whitestrips for 1-2 weeks to restore the bleach white color of the teeth.

Crest White Strips come in as many as 7 different formulations, which can be quite confusing to the consumer. Please remember the key difference in all these products is the strength of the hydrogen peroxide gel, and of course the price. The higher the dose of hydrogen peroxide, the faster the bleaching result, and the most costly as well. Here is a quick summary of the products:

1. Crest White Strips Classic. This is Crest's first bleaching product, introduced in 2001. It has a 6% hydrogen peroxide gel, and is applied twice a day for 30 minutes for 14-days of treatment. It is still a very popular product, and perhaps offers the lowest number of side-effects.

2. Crest White Strips Premium came out in 2004. It is a 10% hydrogen peroxide gel, applied twice a day for 30 minutes each session, for 7-days of treatment. The 10% hydrogen peroxide strength offers a quicker bleaching result, but perhaps with more tooth and gum sensitivity.

3. Crest Pro Effects came out in 2008. It is another 10% hydrogen peroxide gel, but offers a 10-day treatment protocol - again, twice a day for 30 minutes each time.

4. Crest Advanced Seal is the latest product (February, 2009), and it also has a 10% hydrogen peroxide, twice a day, 30-minutes a day, 10-day treatment. The main advantage to this system is that the strip is more adherent to the teeth, and the user can talk, exercise, drive, be active, even drink fluids, with the strip in place. The other systems advise the user to be stationary for the 30-minute treatment time.

5. Daily Whitening with Tartar Protection is another 6% hydrogen peroxide gel strip. It is used just 5-minutes/day, and has an added chemical that discourages tartar from attaching to the teeth. It has 38 upper and lower strips in the package. Some people form tartar very easily, especially on the backs of the lower teeth, and this product inhibits the tartar from attaching to the teeth.

In using any of the Crest bleaching products, please follow the specified instructions that come with each product.

Crest White Strip products work for the vast majority of people. Younger people with yellow stains seem to respond better than older people or those with gray stains. If you have severely stained teeth, especially those with tetracycline (an antibiotic) stain, the strips may not work well for you.

If you are not satisfied with the results and still want whiter teeth, you can then see your dentist for a more concentrated in-office form of bleaching (called "power bleaching").

I agree with the previous review, i wasnt sure that this will work, but if u use it for first 20-25 days daily, u will see the results. It surely takes a little time to see the results, but its worth it.

my teeth are clean and clear even before using that but they didnt have shine which i always wanted.

I got it from CVS and used it and hey, it worked.

It makes my teeth brighter and shiner.

I have been using this product now for about two years, with great results. But I started out using the Crest Whitening kit, which requires that the strips be left in place for thirty minutes, morning and night, to get the desired whiteness in the first place. But once that was accomplished, the 5 minute daily White Strips maintain the whiteness indefinitely, or at least they have done so in my experience so far.
