Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips are designed to give you an almost-immediate result with minimum sensitivity. They're formulated with a 9.5% hydrogen peroxide gel and extra-sticky foam strips to help you get the boost you're looking for. They're meant to be worn, obviously, for 2 hours and each kit contains 4 treatments so you can help keep your smile bright for a whole year. Unfortunately, the comments we’ve received to date aren't completely complimentary - with most of our comments rating Crest 3D 2 Hour Express Whitestrips at 2.5–or under.
Clearly, they're created to give you almost-immediate gratification. But we've heard little result of that here at TeethWhiteningReviews.com
We have dozens of comments reporting pain and sensitivity reactions with Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips.
Is it available at most grocery and drug stores. It can also be found at select online retailers.
From Shannon of Ottawa, Ontario, "Not only do these not work very well at all, there is the aspect of incredible pain afterwards that should cause one to hesitate when trying this product." Generally speaking, if there is extreme sensitivity after whitening, this means the hydrogen peroxide has gone into the enmale rods to whiten intrinsic stains. We think the product works. However, our hunch is that these whitening strips are too powerful for most people to handle, so they do not stick with it.

I read all of the reviews before I used this product and they all seemed good. Anyways, I guess I was one of the few people who didnt really notice a change in my teeth color. But while having these on, I had 'extremely' sharp pains in my teeth for the first hour. It irritated my tongue too but for the last 45 minutes it didnt bother me. The strips stay on great! And the cool thing about this product is thst they give you a years supply which is 4 strips, 3 times a month. But now since i just took off the strips, my teeth have sharp pains in them. I do not think that is normal.
Best of luck on picking out one!
PS: my dentist told me that crest was the best out of all the store bought ones :)

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.

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 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. : (

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!

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 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.)

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.

I used the strips after the two hours were up I was fine but, after about an hour with the strips off my teeth became very sensitive. That night I was up till 4am in agony and nothing could take the pain away. I would never buy that product again because the pain was very severe!!!

Well, I just got these today. I have had successful results with advanced vivid white strips and haven't taken them in a few months. Saw this on tv and figured I give it a try. Well during the 2 hr and 4 minutes. I felt no pain. Right afterwards, OMG. it hurts so bad. Spontaneous bolts of pain on the front teeth. What's worse is, there is NOO beauty for the sacrifice. I have a few white spots on the edges of my teeth but that's all. Not really noticeable but defiantly not worth it. Worst Whitening strips at all.

Horrible product! I tried these because I'm getting married in a few months... bad idea... I was in the worst pain I've been in for a long time... I had the strips in for the full 2 hours and the pain didn't go away for nearly two days. I would never recommend this product to anyone.

HOLY PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! I never write reviews but buyers beware. Its been 16 sleepless hours since using these torturuous strips and the pain is still intense. Called my doctor to see if anything could be done and was told to just wait it out. NEVER AGAIN. Save your money and have your dentist do it. This is one heck of a price to pay for vanity.

What a complete waste of money and 2 hours of my life! Do not buy this product people. I thought it was too good to be true and I was right, this product does not work at all not even a little bit. I saw no change in my teeth color. What a big disappointment:( Even after reading about the excruciating pain that many people had to go through because of this, I took a chance even though it kind of freaked me out a little. I was definately scared but when I did it, it wasn't all that bad like many people had made it out to be. It definately hurted a little here and there. Felt like a sharp painful tingling around the gums but everybody reacts differently, that's just what I experienced. You may or may not feel that much pain depending on how sensitive your teeths are but I can guarantee you it's nothing pleasant. You'll definately experience some sort of pain when using this product. I wouldn't recommend it especially if you have very sensitive teeth because it's not worth the pain. It doesn't work!

I was very excited to try this product because one of my friends recommended this product to me and said it had great results. I put them on at night and after the first 30 mins I started getting sharp pains in my teeth. I ignored the pain because my friend had told me there is a slight discomfort with this product but nothing to painful. I took the product off after the 2hrs and brushed my teeth and they were a little sensitive. An hour after I took the strips off I started feeling an excruciating pain in my teeth. The whole night I was having trouble sleeping because of the pain. It is nearly 10hrs later and my teeth still hurt. I do not recommend this product! My teeth looked whiter after using the crest 3D tooth paste than with this product and to top it off I've been crying off and on because of the horrible pain in my teeth. NEVER AGAIN!

MY TEETH HURT!!!!! I put the 2 hour whitening strips on for exactly 2 hours. Ive had them off for 3 hours and my teeth hurt so bad. While the strips were on I felt one sharp pain jump through one tooth. It caught me so off guard I dropped the drink in my hand. Now they are off and I regret this all the way! Yes my teeth appear to be whiter...or maybe just shinnier (we will see) but, the pain is so not worth it. I cant sleep at this point. UGH

Oh, the agony! I did not brush my teeth before I applied the strips as directed. I left them on for exactly 2 hours and felt one momentary shooting pain while the strips were on. A few hours after removing them however, my teeth began to ache and I have never had sensitivity in my teeth before using this product. After enduring 10 hours of aching, sore teeth, I made myself a vodka and 7-up hoping to dull the pain. I've had two now and I feel somewhat better even though my teeth still hurt!!! The worst part of all of this is I do not notice that they whitened my teeth at all. I guess you could say I'm a little down in the mouth......

I have had my teeth professionally whitened before and the results were very noticeable. After using Crest 2 hr whitening strips I am very disappointed, not only were there no visible results, the sensitivity I am enduring is just awful and extremely uncomfortable. I would not recommend these strips nor use them again and if you take all the feedback into consideration on this site, it is evident that there are far more negative factors than positive factors to using these strips. I will be returning mine and I urge people strongly not to waste your money on such a product.

For people who need advice on these:
I bought these 2 days ago. Put them on at 7pm and took them off before 9pm. I had no pain at that time. I went to bed and woke up around midnight with an instant pain in my mouth.. it was horrible. I was in tears for 24 hours... I called the company, they told me to take 4 advils... no help. I then tried drinking something hot, cold, warm... no help. Tried brushing my teeth no help and using mouth wash no help. I tried going back to sleep but decided at 3am in the morning to go to walmart, return the stupid thing, and picked up some oragel and sensodine toothpaste. I of course still was in pain the rest of the day so at 8am when the dentist office opened I called asking what to do. They said to put the sensodine on the teeth and leave it sit for as long as I can. Also they told me to get Act mouthwash with floride. This will build back the enamal that was lost. Also if you have a hot pad, that helps too.
I suffered through alot like the rest of these people on here. Pain lasted a little over 24 hours. Still a little sensitive, but at least I could eat and drink again.
For the people who dont know what to do, there really isn't much. I would buy Sensodine and leave it sit on your teeth for as long as you can 3 times a day. and use Act mouth wash. After I would take 4 advil, and put oragel on. That was what was recommended to me. Also, if you bought it from walmart, they refund me all of it even after I used it. Otherwise Crest will refund you. DONT LOSE YOUR RECIEPT! Hope this helps. I am glad when I went through this I saw these responses so I knew it wasn't just me. I knew it was these whitestrips. I also have used the 14 day ones in the past and NEVER had these issues. I am not using anything for awhile until I get my teeth back to normal. I dont recommend anyone with sensitive teeth to use these one. Stick to the 3D mouthwash and toothpaste or buy the 14 day ones and dont used them all the time.

Thank you SO much for all of your feedback! I will NOT be using these! I used whitestrips so many years ago when they first came out and after reading this remembered how much my teeth hurt then and cannot imagine the pain you people are talking about! I think the advil, etc, doesn't work because it's nerve pain and that's the hardest kind of pain to kill! Hope you all have white teeth! I'll stick to my baking soda and peroxide home remedy and keep away from sugar and dark drinks instead!
