Anybody used Crest Whitestrips for teeth whitening?

Question

I just bought some and the top one stays put OK, but the bottom strip doesn't, I guess the saliva gets it really wet and just comes off after a minute or so. I've attempted to do this 3 times already with the same result. Anybody had that same problem?

Any solutions?

Thanks and have a great weekend.

I paid $40.00 too, so I'm a little p-ss-d off.

Answer 1

I'm using Crest Whitestrips too and I've noticed the same thing with the bottom strip.  The little book that comes with them says that the bottom strip can be a little problematic.  It suggests using just the bottom strip by itself.

It sounds gross but before you put the strip on, I would say kind of just spit out any extra saliva and dry the area with cotton or a paper towel beforehand.  I know it's hard because you keep the strip in for 30 minutes but maybe keep your mouth slightly open and try to keep your lip from touching it too much?  Also I know if I talk too much with the strip in it definitely gets too wet really fast so I avoid talking too much.

It's hard but I really want white teeth :)

Hope this helps!

I have used them for a very long time. I guess I have a 'dryer' mouth. lol

I don't know what you can do to prevent the saliva; maybe pat your teeth with a paper towel and try to control the saliva?

Answer 3

I don't have an answer to your question, but maybe I can help...Try using hydrogen peroxide! All you have to do is, after you brush your teeth with toothpaste, rinse your brush, then, dip your toothbrush in the peroxide bottle and brush again. You'll be amazed at how white your teeth are. And you won't have to spend $40 on it.

THATS WEIRD..IVE USED THEM BEFORE & THEY ALWAYS STAY ON..DRY UR TEETH WITH A PAPER TOWEL B4 U STICK THEM ON,THATS WHAT I DO. TRY NOT TO TALK TO MUCH OR MOVE THEM WITH UR TONGUE & DONT LET TOO MUCH SALIVA ACCUMULATE IN MOUTH, MAYBE THATS THE PROBLEM.

OTHER THAN THAT I REALLY RECOMMEND THEM..THEY WORK! =)
