Review (4/5): Good Product, but strips should be longer
I've heard a lot about them on television and on the internet, but I never gave them a try. I'm one of those people who thinks that ALL producers simply come up with some new gimik to steal my hard earned money.
I finally met someone (with a great smile) that used them and she recommended them to me. Gave really high reviews about them. So, I decided to give them a try (still skeptical though. Maybe she had a great smile to begin with).
I guess I should have taken some pictures to be sure, but personally I didn't notice much difference. They were a bit whiter I think, but that could have been the lighting, or my imagination.
When I was done with the product, I still wasn't satisfied until I started getting compliments from all sorts of people. People were asking me what I did, because my teeth looked really white. Still skeptical, I ignored the first 4 people, but over 10 people can't be wrong. Bottom line, the product does work, the "constant shade" of my teeth was all in my head and came from inspecting them every day.
PROS:
Product works. Even though I skipped a couple days, still seemed to work. Just don't inspect them so much every day, because since the difference is gradual, you won't notice much.
CONS:
The stupid strips are TOO SHORT. What was crest thinking? I guess I just have to control my smile so that it's not too wide, because now I notice how yellow my back teeth are. Hey, I may buy 2 boxes next time and try overlapping strips. :D
Does leave your gums and teeth a bit sensitive if you apply to strips too much on the gums.
Takes a bit of getting used to, no doubt.
