Over-marketed as professional-grade and can be less convenient than newer LED or leave-on options; many reviewers recommend the advanced or sensitive variants instead.

(The Forbes Vetted team also ranked the original version of these Crest 3D strips as one of the best teeth whitening products .)

So, that's what I like about the Crest ones is they just work really good. So, kind of dry my teeth off. So, you put them on. You pull them over. And I probably should have made sure my teeth were a little bit drier cuz it's wanting to come off. Leave them on for 30 minutes. Do this for 10 days, and you'll have whiter teeth.

Crest 3D Whitestrips is not a substitute for regular dental care. Visit your dentist regularly. Avoid contact of gel with cloth, leather, or fabric. Gel that comes into contact with the skin can cause temporary skin irritation and/or whitening. Wash hands with soap and water after use. Avoid eye contact. Rinse eyes thoroughly with water if gel comes in contact with them.
