I decided to try an at-home whitening kit when I was talking with a friend that I was visiting in the US prior to starting my orthodontics treatment (I'm Canadian). She works as a dental hygienist and she recommended the Crest White-Strips Professional Kit because she had used it in the past and had seen great results. I purchased it halfway through my trip from her dental office and went on my friends recommendation to only use the strips once per day rather than the recommended twice per day to reduce teeth sensitivity through treatment. Also, a bonus that since I was only using 1/2 the recommended dose, I have enough stips left-over for me to use the remainder of the white-strips when I get my braces off in about 18 months.
You leave the strips on for 30 minutes per day. One day I did try to use the strips twice but my teeth definitely got too sensitive so I do recommend using it only once per day.
Based on some other reviews I saw on Real Self, next time I try the strips I'll probably use Sensodyne prior to starting my next round to reduce the chance of having any sensitivity.
I hope you found this review helpful and good luck in your teeth whitening journey!
