Tooth Whitening Products - which work/are best?

Kleric

well Gary I have bought a box of Crest Whitestrips Renewal from a website called onlywhite.co.uk and they cost £25 plus P&P . Was one of the best deals I could find so might be worth u looking there. Someone else might have a better idea tho of course

Well Kleric, i recieved the smile -bright.com set in the fastest delivery ever - i have used my set twice now and i am not too sure if i can see any results yet?
I brought the set with 3teeth shields, two lots of bleaching gel, a case to store your teeth shields and a colour chart.

Moulding the shields are a little tricky at first - but they did mould after a few attemps. Make sure you suck the air out of them as much as possible and press the shield hard agaisnt your teeth to get a good mould. Just wanted them to be as perfect as i could get them otherwise the gel will not be pressed agaisnt my teeth - therefor not working i would imagine?

I have kept the shields in for an hour a time - thats about all i could suffer! They are not painfull or anything - just i find it annoying and i dribble a little which isnt very nice - but normal apparentely!! Will be worth it if they work mind!

The gel has a slight unpleasent taste. Its not disugusting but when it gets down the back of your throat - its not really nice. But again - worth it if it works!

They say that you should start seeing results after about 10 goes - so i will keep everyone updated.

So far - i am impressed with how easy it all is - just hope i will be impressed with the results!

Hi,
I too ordered a standard set from Smile bright..next day delivery and got an extra gel syringe free.

Ive used 3 times so far..about an hour each time..and I can't see any difference yet but imagine it will take time..afterall..teeth get stained over many years so can't really expect them to go back sparkly white after 3 days lol (would be nice though!)

I find that after an hour im dribbling too much and having to swallow alot..and the gel tastes disgusting and gives me sore throat..(hope that isnt my throat burning!!! :eek: )

Anyway will perservere as Im not experiencing any sensitivity using it so thats good.

When I did mine - I wasn't too sure if the gel was working - that's because I was doing upper and lower at the same time.

Other people noticed though.

Try doing just the uppers for a week or so - the difference should be noticeable then.

The moulds have got to be a "skintight" fit to your teeth - so much so that a TINY drop on each hollow in the mould will spread out over the entire tooth.

If you're getting loads leaking out then you're probably using too much gel or the mould isn't quite fitting properly.

An hour is probably the upper limit of how long it's worth keeping the tray in - after that most of the gel will have leaked out and have replaced with saliva.

Again, I've got to really recommend a custom moulded tray.

In true money saving fashion, I use Bicarbonate of soda, works a treat and as cheap as chips.

i must be a glutton for punishment i put my smile brighter gel in before i go to bed then usually wake up in the middle of the night and take it out or ive been known to have it in all night ( im a sound sleeper ) lol
my teeth are you usually a bit sensitive the next day but soon wears off
otherwise i suppose the best time to use it is before bed then at least some of the gel is staying on your teeth all night

I can't say enough about the Crest Whitestrips....they're amazing!:D

As previously mentioned, my dentist also advises not to use these products, especially if you have sensitive teeth! She recommends "Rembrandt" toothpaste from OralB (expensive at about £8 a tube mind) and a good electric toothbrush. The toothpaste gives a nice fresh feel to my teeth, but not really noticed a great deal of whitening. HTH

im more than happy with the smile brighter but the crest whitestrips sound much easier if you are not dribbling all over lol
so i think i might try those as well
let you know the difference
