Summary: pretty good, room for improvement
Comment: I bought this and carefully read the packet and reviews/suggestions from everyone. Before I put them on I use a toothbrush (that I've specially designated for this) to gently scrub my teeth, then carefully put them on. Immediately I start drooling so much, that I keep a bath towel under my face to collect everything! Yes, it sounds gross and it is gross. But I don't want to swallow any of that nasty taste or lose a precious whitening strip! These things make me drool like crazy and for 30 minutes I maintain the biggest smile possible with a folded over bottom lip - to keep the lower strip in place. Every few minutes I check with my fingernail to make sure the bottom strip is still against my teeth. I have had no problems with tooth sensitivity (but I don't eat a lot of cold foods), burns, or anything else. They do seem to be working. I've been doing them at night, I'll do 2 or 3 in one sitting (the manual says that's as effective). Then I'll stop for a few days. As some other people have suggested, I will probably finish this package and then continue to do it maybe once a week. I read somewhere that to appear natural, your teeth should be no whiter than the white in your eyes.
This product gets 4 stars because of all the gross drooling, I can't imagine using this product anywhere other than behind a closed and locked and mirror-less room. The drooling causes the bottom strip to move around too much. Maybe this should come with a tray to cover the strips to keep them dryer.

Summary: If they hurt/make your teeth sensitive
Comment: When beginning, they can make your teeth super sensitive. I recommend starting at night an hour before going to bed, that way any sensitivity has time to go away by the time you wake up the next morning. After the initial period of sensitivity, they seem to hurt less-- so I do it twice before going to bed (for 1h+), and then I don't have to deal with any discomfort while at work.

Summary: Good product, good results for the money.
Comment: I'm 31 years old with fairly white teeth naturally, but I am a daily coffee/tea drinker. I've used whitening packages/trays purchased from my dentist twice, but I am honestly just as pleased with the results from the Crest Whitestrips for whitening my teeth when they begin to look a bit stained. I have very sensitive teeth/gums, so I rarely use the strips more than once a day and usually have to skip a day between applications. I also use a toothpaste (like Sensodyne) when I am whitening and this eliminates most discomfort. At this point, Whitestrips are used for "maintenance" and I have been working on the same box for at least a year! I whiten a few time every few months and this works for me. I'm sure there are many different degrees of staining/yellowness, but for mild discoloration from tea/coffee, I would definitely give these a try before an expensive trip to the dentist.

Summary: No Pain No Gain
Comment: I have found Crest Whitestrips of any version to work really well for me! When I got my braces off my teeth were discolored and i used Crest Whitestrips Classic to make them really white!! There was a little gum sensitivity but it wasn't TOO bad. However, now I am using Crest Whitestrips Premium and WOW by the second day it hurt my gums SO BADLY! I toughed it out and tried it the third day again, but this time i took a Q-tip and i put Vasaline carefully on JUST my gums. It made due for a protective coating and significantly reduced the pain while the Creststrips were on! However my gums are still so sore that i can't even brush my teeth...basically...my Vasaline trick works wonders BUT the Crest Whitestrips Premium are 2X stronger than the Crest Whitestrips Classic, so if your gums/teeth are sensitive I recommend getting the Classic because they really do work for me!

Summary: Try This Tip for Best Results
Comment: I've read several comments by people who said they had trouble keeping the strips in place, I came up with a suggestion that should help anyone who happens to have that problem.
Before placing the whitestrips in place, gently pad a square of toilet paper or tissue to the front and back of your teeth, try to get those teeth as dry as possible. Maintain a big smile so that your teeth are showing, you want to make sure that your lips don't touch them yet. Place the whitestrips in place, one at a time, try allowing for an equal amount of strip for the front AND back of the tooth. Push it firmly in place, and use your fingernail to gently push the front of the strip into the spaces between each tooth (to ensure that the gel makes its between each tooth, and not just the front surface). I have found that by drying your teeth well, the strips won't move the slightest bit, compared to when I first tried them and they slid around a little.
The Whitestrips work well, I noticed a big difference after only five days. Although my teeth weren't that stained before, I was always a little self-conscious about smiling with my mouth open when talking to people. But now, I do it with no hesitation, and have a lot more ladies complimenting me on my smile. It's great what these little whitestrips can do for your self esteem, I'd recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.
