Alright, buckle up, because I’m about to spill the tea on my experience with Crest 3D Whitestrips Supreme Bright. I’m talking the whole shebang, from start to (hopefully) sparkling finish. I’ve always been a bit self-conscious about my teeth – you know, that coffee-stained, post-wine hue that screams “adulting is hard!” So, I decided to bite the bullet and try these bad boys out.
First Impressions: Okay, so the packaging was sleek, and everything looked pretty legit. I opened the box, and there they were – the strips. They felt kinda slimy, which, let’s be honest, wasn’t the most appealing thing in the world. But hey, gotta trust the process, right?
The Application: This is where things got a little dicey. Trying to get those strips perfectly lined up on my teeth felt like performing surgery on myself. I fumbled around for a good five minutes, trying to get them to stick without ending up with a mouthful of goo. Eventually, I managed to slap them on, but I definitely didn’t win any awards for precision.
The Waiting Game: So, the instructions said to leave them on for 30 minutes. Thirty minutes! That’s like an eternity when you’re trying not to drool or accidentally swallow a strip. I tried to distract myself by watching some TV, but all I could think about was the weird, minty taste in my mouth and the slightly uncomfortable feeling of the strips clinging to my teeth. I kept swallowing trying to keep the drool at bay.
The Removal: Okay, the 30 minutes were finally up! I peeled those suckers off, and…wow. My teeth felt SUPER sensitive. Like, I could feel the air hitting them sensitive. It wasn’t excruciating, but definitely noticeable. I rinsed my mouth out with water, trying to avoid anything too hot or too cold.
The Results (After Day 1): Honestly? I didn’t see a HUGE difference after just one day. Maybe a shade or two lighter, but nothing drastic. I was a little bummed, but I knew I needed to stick with it to see real results.
The Rest of the Treatment: I kept using the strips every day for the recommended amount of time. Some days, my teeth were more sensitive than others. I found that using a sensitive toothpaste helped a little. I also tried to avoid things that would stain my teeth, like coffee and red wine (a real sacrifice, let me tell you!).
The Final Verdict: After the whole treatment, I can honestly say that my teeth are noticeably whiter! Not like, Hollywood-glamour white, but definitely brighter and less stained. I’m pretty happy with the results, especially considering how easy (and relatively affordable) the whole process was. Would I do it again? Yeah, probably. Just gotta mentally prepare myself for the sensitivity!
My Tips for Using Crest 3D Whitestrips Supreme Bright:
- Start slow: If you have sensitive teeth, maybe try using the strips every other day instead of every day.
- Use sensitive toothpaste: This can help minimize sensitivity.
- Avoid staining foods and drinks: For the best results, try to cut back on coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining culprits.
- Be patient: It takes time to see real results, so don’t get discouraged if you don’t notice a huge difference right away.
So, there you have it! My Crest 3D Whitestrips Supreme Bright journey. Hope this helps anyone who’s considering trying them out!
