if you use them properly, yes. Most are just hydrogen peroxide in a jellied form that eat away at the surface stains. Pretty smart actually, but then again, pure white teeth on people just looks weird.

yeah, some celebs have stupendously unnaturally glaring white teeth.

anyway, the online kits that send you the mold for you to send back to them in a prepaid env. for them to send back to you the finished mold for you to hold the gel onto your teeth are the best.

i think about 90bucks at most, will get everything you need.

crest whitestrips seem to work the best from what i have seen. As far as over the counter goes.

you can tell when celebs use the strips because the strip themself don't reach all the way across. Their front 6 teeth are real white but when they smile you can see the yellow on the side ones.

If they're all white, either they have superb hygiene or they got it professionally done.

My daughter who is getting married Saturday, is a fanatic about all those "wedding planning" lists and stuff. The lists say "2 months before wedding: start using tooth whitening products so you can have a bright happy smile for all those pictures."

So, to humor her, we all went out and bought tooth whitening toothpaste. You know, the toothpaste that says Extra Whitener on it, not the specific tooth whitening products.

So far, no noticable added whiteness has been achieved.

Nah those toothpastes are probably just bits of baking soda in them to help "rub off" the stains.. but we all know it needs to be chemically treated...

I used crest strips.. was very happy with the results.. general rule of thumb.. your teeth should not be whiter than the whites of your eyes!
