White paint actually works really well. It takes a little while to dry though.

I've heard gargling bleach a couple times a day does the trick as well. Careful not to swallow any though cause it might upset your stomach/kill you.

This to all my hatin' folks seeing me getting guac right now..
 

question: What's the difference between Whitestrips and in-office, professional treatments?

answer: There are 2 main differences between most in-office whitening treatments and Crest Whitestrips: 1) how the whitening ingredient is applied and 2) cost.

Both whitening methods use the same whitening ingredient: hydrogen peroxide. However, Intensive Professional Effects Whitestrips use a 10% concentration, while most in-office procedures use up to a 35% concentration. Lights and lasers are also used during in-office procedures to help show results more quickly than at-home procedures.

However, because of this immediacy in results, in-office treatments cost more than Whitestrips. So, if speed is a priority for you, but cost is an issue, then try Intensive Professional Effects Whitestrips. They deliver professional-level results in the convenience of your home.

If the glove don't fit, you must acquit!

a dental assistant friend told me you can just brush with baking powder (or baking soda?) and it will work great. for obvious reasons i haven't tested this yet, but if you're so inclined...

I have been using White Strips from my dentist that are more powerful than over the counter stuff. However, the White Strips do not cover my teeth evenly and they are a pain in the ass to wear.

Im going to try a tray kit from smilebrilliant.com. For $85, you get a teeth mold that you form at home and send away to a lab to get made into a permanent plastic tray. This company claims they supply dentists with the exact same products so its the highest quality stuff.

Also, the solution used in trays is 35% compared to white strips that only use 10% solution. More power and cheaper in the long run

Just drink lots of liquor. I find that liquor removes the blemishes from my teeth while cigarettes finish them off with a rustic burnish.

HAHAHA

i just copied the info from one of the amazon product description/reviews

The Whitestrips make your teeth really sensitive (e.g. it hurts to drink slightly cold stuff).

Would not recommend.

Right after use or permanent?

I stopped using it 3 days in. It felt like a layer had been essentially eliminated on my teeth.

I'm not sure if they warn about this on the packaging (e.g. sensitive teeth after use).

 

I tried white strips and made it I think 3 or 4 days then the pain was unbearable. Some people don't get sensitive teeth from them, but I sure as hell did. I got a groupon for the LED whitening so have done that twice now, it works pretty decent but you've gotta go probably 4-6 times to get the full benefit. First time, didn't notice much. Second time enough of a difference to get a little ego boost, now I'm curious how they'll look after I go again in a couple weeks.

 

White Strips always made my teeth pretty sensitive, but it wasn't too bad.

I use that shit. It's the only toothpaste that really makes my mouth feel fresh and removes reminders of bad things that were in it.

Strips: Sensitivity, burns your gums, messy and uncomfortable

Custom: Fits like a glove, no/less sensitivity, better end results. You just snap on what is basically the same fit/style as invisalign. You can have them in and have a conversion.

Cost: $100-$500. Shop around. I literally just called dentists and was quoted this range.

"Im going to try a tray kit from smilebrilliant.com. For $85, you get a teeth mold that you form at home and send away to a lab to get made into a permanent plastic tray. This company claims they supply dentists with the exact same products so its the highest quality stuff. "

  • This is true in every way. The only difference is that dental assistants take impressions 10 times a day and wont fuck it up. On you first time, you almost certainly will.

Going Concern

Has anyone tried Elmer's glue? Someone was saying that its very effective, and its only $3.49 at Staples, or possibly free in any office supply room. I'd imagine the pointy orange nozzle is useful for getting to the hard-to-reach places in your mouth.

Wtf? I can't say I've ever heard that before heheh. Want video if someone tries it.
