Crest 3D Whitestrips 2 Hour Express

Wasn't amazing but worked. Definitely few shades whiter. And used 2 in a row for 2 days (not supposed to) no pain at all for me. I think your usual teeth health is very relevant to the result. I get teeth scaling every 6 months so it had no other things on the face of it and gums are very healthy as well. But definitely 14 days one works better. With that, even my dentist thought I had professional dentist whitening.

It is a good thing I don't own a gun, because I was in a bad shape yesterday. I had no problems with them on, took them off after 2 hours, and then went to bed. I awoke 6 hours later with the most horrific pain known to man. I took ibuprofen and went back to bed but the searing pain in my teeth would not stop. I got some sensitive toothpaste and smeared on my teeth, but that didn't help. I couldn't eat, drink and even air hitting my teeth made them hurt. A pharmacist told me to put orajel on my gums which may help, but all that did was make it so I couldn't feel my mouth, which seem to heighten the pain in my teeth. The pain has finally let up, and it is about 40 hours after I used it. OH, and my teeth are barely whiter. I think they are only whiter because part of the enamel is missing.

Awful product! My teeth hurt so bad, I couldn't even leave them on for the 2 full hours. Excruciating shooting pains in my teeth lasted almost a full 24 hrs since I took off the strips. I couldn't eat and even drinking even temperature water hurt. This is the worst product in the world.

The most awful product!!! The pain is unbearable with NO difference in tooth color. Pain began 4 hours after treatment. Please do not spend your money on this!! If you try it-have a lot of Advil handy.

I can't even being to tell you how much pain I am in from these whiteners, I have been in PAIN FOR HOURS.....9 hours about and still counting......the pain doesn't subside whatsoever, I've tried oraljel 50 times, I've taken lots of motrin. I haven't had a SECOND OF SLEEP...I'm calling off work today because that's how bad my teeth hurt, I am so upset and sad right now, I'm on the verge of going to the hospital so I can be sedated, I'm so tire of BEING IN PAIN!

I can not believe the pain I'm in, being high pain tolerance I can't stop crying, and my teeth are not even one shade whiter.
horrible product..and I want my 39.99 back

I REALLY wish I would have read reviews online before buying this product like I normally do. Pain. My teeth hurt SO bad, and I NEVER get sensitivity...not once ever that I can remember. I also have white spots all over my teeth and I am SO hoping they go away! I'm already self-conscious....I wanted these to make me feel better about myself, not worse! Don't buy-NOT worth the risk! What a TERRIBLE PRODUCT. (I may only be 17, but I know what I'm talking about when it comes to this.)

I tried these once before and was very disappointed with the results. My teeth weren't any whiter (((huge bummer))) and like everyone else I was in pain. So bad it kept me up at night but sense I forgot to return them and the 60 days was up I've decided to try them again... reading these reviews and only one hr in I'm already starting to feel the pain again ((which I kind of forgot about)) I'm taking them off right now!
So not worth your time your money or the pain. I think id rather walk in 6in heels 2 sizes to small.

OMG! I had the strips on from 5 to 7 tonight and it is now 2am and my teeth are so sore! I have used other crest white strips and not had any trouble, but these are killing me! I would only recommend them if you have a very high pain tolerance.

Recommended by Nicole

I've heard good reviews about this product so I tried it myself. I started using this product last night before I went to sleep and let me tell you-- IT HURTS SO BAD. I did not get even an hour of good sleep last night because I kept on tossing and turning the entire time. I have NEVER had any pain/sensitivity problems on my teeth because they are relatively healthy. But as of right now, I'm walking around, rolling my tongue on back and forth on my teeth because I'm desperately trying to get rid of this pain. The pain feels as if you're biting on -500 degrees ice cream... When I drink even water, IT HURTS TERRIBLY. I can't eat, drink, I can't even TALK correctly because every time I open my mouth, the air makes contact with my teeth and it starts to hurt severely. However, beauty is pain! The products DO make your teeth a bit whiter. Use it only if you're stubborn and want to look good, despite the pain...

I'm 16 and have always prided myself on my white smile and always have taken really good care of my teeth. So I've whitened them a few times to keep them looking nice..When I saw this product was coming out, I was extremely excited since I absolutely love Crest Whitening products. (Never had I previously had a problem with using them in regard to sensitivity, spotting, etc.) This was literally one of the worst ideas of my life. I was fine for the first hour, until I started getting this literal blinding pains that literally went to the core of my teeth. The pain was so unbearable I ripped them off. I've shattered my knee cap and the pain was worse than that. It was so bad I literally almost passed out. I cried for the rest of the night and actually had to sleep with the heater in my face with my mouth closed because everytime i'd open my mouth the searing pain would get worse (Yes, the pain was still there even though I was completely still). I wish I could get this product banned it's so bad. Not only that but it ruined my enamel so much that I can most likely never whiten my teeth again. I wouldnt recommend this to my worst enemy. I am literally crying right now about the regret I feel over using this product. Never use it if you know what's good for you.

I think the whitening strips DID make a difference, but not a considerable one. It wasn't worth the wait. I'm considering just doing a second strip next week. I had NO discomfort like everyone else did. I'm 17, so appearance is important to me right now, and I'm interested in maximum result, minimum effort. I guess the product is what I'm looking for, but I'm disappointed the strips don't work well enough.

Recommended by Alexandra G.

i just took the product off about 15 minutes ago. It left my teeth whiter for sure, and the spotting is already disapearing. I am having slight discomfort in my front two teeth, but those two teeth are the most sensitive in my mouth so im not sursprised. also, the pain isn't bad, its just a small tingle every 3 or 4 minutes. i feels like if you press your nail to the tooth really fast-not bad at all.

Recommended by Claire

Wow I've done 2 treaments in the past 2 weeks (even tho you're not supposed to) and I have had almost zero sensitivity or pain. I guess I'm the only one. Didn't whiten very well though, I'm opting for a bleaching

okay well i'm a little scared now after reading the pain stories. I am about 45min in to my 2hours. And i kinda want to take them out now because i dont want to feel pain like the unbearable pain i have been reading in the comments nor do i want the white spots on my teeth but i am deciding to stick it thru to the end. I have tried the regular crest white strips and it did give me nice white teeth but i had sensitive teeth for about 3 hours afterwords. Right now everythings seems fine, no pain and feels like i can feel it cleaning my teeth. I will add another comment after my 2 hours are up and tell everyone everything that happens to me. keep it real

I never review product myself but I must say I was looking forward to trying this product as I have just gotten my braces off. About an hour in, I got a sharp pain in my teeth but decided to go through the rest of the time. It's been about 5 minutes with them off and I am getting sharp pains. I hope they do not last long. Results were minimal as well. I will not be using this again.

I hesitated to buy these, but had a coupon and gave them a try. I will not be purchasing a second time. I felt the product did nothing to whiten my teeth. I also disliked having to wear the strips for 2 hours to get results and then be disappointed.

Not Recommended by M Bungert

I feel like I have to review these - having just had my braces off i wanted the perfect white smile. i asked my dentist about the strips and she said they were safe to use. I chose the 2 hour express strips because of the instant results, and was very excited when they came through this morning. I put them on and started reading some reviews about the results. I felt relieved that i was feeling no pain as a LOT of reviews said they experienced pain. About half an hour in i felt a severe shooting pain in one of my bottom teeth. After another two of these pains in the next 5 minutes i took the bottom one off and hoped the same wouldnt happen to the top ones. Another 5 minutes and the pains were literally making me jump and my eyes water. I took the top strip off and brushed my teeth to make sure all of the whitening gel was off. There are some small white spots on the uneven ridges of my teeth, but worse is that the pains have not stopped. I am in absolute agony. I don't have sensitive teeth so I am shocked that there is a product which causes this much pain. Please dont buy!

So, I wish I would have read these reviews earlier. My teeth and gums were in severe pain the second i put them on. But, I figured hey! For what I paid and my extreme desire for white teeth- it will be fine! Yeah...its been 5 hours since my 2 hours was up and I want to rip my teeth out. They feel like their being electrocuted. Not fun. AND...I see literally nothing different to my teeth. I hope I dont get the white spots I hear about. This product is not worth it...

Not Recommended by Ashley

I had these on for an hour. Everything was hunky-dory until I suddenly got a horrrrrible sharp pain in one of my lower teeth. It was so bad I litterally jumped up out of my seat. I ran in the bathroom and tore the strips off and rinsed my mouth out. I know I only had them on for an hour, but the only difference I could see was a couple of white SPOTS on two of my teeth ... I just hope that they don't hurt worse later on. I tried the old strips when they first came out, and aside from a little discomfort, they worked pretty well. They never left spots like these. I never usually review products, but I'm pretty disappointed. : (

My Teeth actually got darker!! WHAT THE HECK? not only that, I'm experiencing sever pain, I've never had this problem. My teeth are anything but sensitive... I'm Russian for Gods sake, with a perfect dental record. It's preposterous. I'm having this stabbing pain in the center of my teeth. STABBING. all the way to the core. I'm honestly concerned that my teeth may very well fall out of their own accord.

Dear God, Darker? seriously?

I am only 16 and I really want nice nice teeth. So I bought this product because it seemed fast. So I put it on at night from 9 to 11 it went on fine and came off decently fine. A little gross lol. And so I had no pain when i went to sleep. Right now I am sitting in my bed dying..... my teeth are killing me!!!! I got up 5 times to brush them. I tried everything and they still kill me. Idk what to I'm writing this to do something I have school tomorrow and I'm going to be dead.. thanks a lot stupid whiting shit. I wish they made a product where it didn't hurt your teeth afterwards. They hurt ai bad Idk why I even bothered. I tried others before this, the 5 min ones and they hurt the same way and the same time.:'(

I have used crest white strips in the past with great results. After buying the pricey 3d white 2 hour express I was excited. At 2 hours I was in PAIN! so much pain specifically the bottom, It got worse as the hours past and for what...nothing. What a waste and bad experience.

Not Recommended by leslie

I read these reviews 1 hour into the whitening process and the "PAIN" complaints definitely freaked me out. BUT it has been 10 hours since I removed the whitening strips and I feel NO PAIN (thank god).

As for how well it whitens, I suppose it whitens it 2 shades lighter like its said. I had yellow stains on my fangs but that went away and there are no spots. It is whiter but NOT a lot whiter. I was fine with that because I didn't expect dramatic change for 2 hours of whitening.

DO NOT LET THESE REVIEWS ABOUT PAIN SCARE YOU, because I feel that these reviews are bias. People who don't have pain will obviously not post a review on it whereas those people who do feel pain are more driven to write a post about their sensitive teeth.

OVERALL: I would buy this product again because I am impatient. But if you want a whiter smile, you should go for the 30 mins for 14 day one or the 3 day one.

You cannot get Crest 2 hour express whitestrips in UK so I picked some up on a visit to US. Cost about $50 from Walgreens. I went to visit my hygienist and got a normal clean and polish and then, that evening, popped the strips on. They were easy to apply. Then you sit and watch TV for 2 hours! I like the fact the strips are quite long so that the pre-molars get covered too so you can smile and nobody can tell. When they are on, it is OK to swallow occasionally. You can't let your mouth fill up with saliva for 2 hours otherwise you will drool like crazy! Peeling them off is a bit icky. I did it by standing over the toilet bowl and dropping them right in. Superb results. The box says 2 shades whiter, I don't klnow what one shade is, but my teeth are dazzling! Confidence boost and makes you look younger.

To those people to got extreme sensitivity, I suspect you have got enamel errosion from drinking too much fizzy soda or fruit juice. You should see a dental professional and consider adopting a toothpaste that is good for enamel problems.

I would recommend getting a hygienist to give you a normal ultra-sonic clean and regular polish before you do it. This will remove the normal staining and let the strips do their work. If you have plaque on your teeth, the strips will have to try and work through that which is going to dull the results.

i was so excited about buying these white strips. i finally got them yesterday. i read all the directions and warnings. i thought i was going to have a very dramatic difference. but i didnt. my teeth barely changed! they're still white, but i was expecting realy white! i was ok with the results. but i just woke up in pain. not a whole lot, but it still hurts and its keeping me up. =( its only my bottom row, too. it hurts a lot to breath through my mouth, because of the cold air. i have school today and i cant be tired =( i just took 2 advil... im hoping i can get some sleep. and im not using the other ones unless i try the crest sensitive or Sensodyne thing

I used these strips last night and I noticed a big difference but I am in so much pain right now. I started at 6pm and took them off at 8 and I didnt notice any sensitivity until I woke up at 4:30 in the morning and I was in so much pain I couldnt get back to sleep. Now I am sitting at work (in PAIN still) and researching these because I wanted to make sure it was "normal" to have this much pain. I think they whiten great but dont think it is worth this much pain.

PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And little effect.

Not Recommended by Jenny

This was my first time trying these, and I have to say I'm not that impressed. I was hoping to see some dramatic results since they are 2 hour strips, and you only have to do one treatment every 3 months so I thought the results would be dramatic. I could only see a slight difference in the "whiteness" of my teeth. So far I haven't discovered any pain, and I'm hoping it will stay that way. All in all I think the other strips that Crest has are better for drastic results.

I have used Crest Whitening Strips in the past but they were the Advanced Vivid ones. I remember having a little tooth sensitivity, but it was definitely worth it. Everybody loved my smile. Now, a year later I tried the 2 hour express. I was scared for the pain but I was surprised that it didn't hurt as bad. A couple of hours later after I was done with my treatment, my bottom teeth started to hurt, then my upper, my jaws, my entire mouth, my neck!! The only way to describe this pain is excrutiating!!! I am praying to God to take it away. It feels like 1,000 cavities are going on strike in my mouth. It has been six hours and the pain lives on. I wish I would've seen the reviews earlier about using sensitive toothpaste for the first few weeks before this happened to me. This is not worth the pain at all.

My husband and I both used this product last night and noticed little whitening, but more importantly I am in LOT of pain today. My bottom teeth are EXTREMELY sensitive. I can't eat, drink, or even breath in cool air it hurts so badly! I won't use them again, but my husband is doing just fine today. He just wishes it would have whitened them a tad bit more!

Good Luck!

I used them tonight at 8, took them off at 10 and started immediately feeling a strange pain. The pain intensified as the night went on, and here it is 4am and I havent slept a wink because I am in so much pain. I don't even know what to do with myself right now. I am looking for someone to say the pain will ease up shortly, but everyone's results are different. I will never put these in my mouth again!!! No amount of whitening is worth this amount of pain. It is so sharp and excruciating that it hurts all the way down into my chin. And I have to work tomorrow? Great. Do not use these!!!!!
