Answers:
What I am wondering is when did you have your teeth cleaned last? They work best if you use them right after you get your teeth cleaned as any stain or buildup (tartar or plaque) you currently have on your teeth will block their ability to work. Also, don't use fluoride toothpaste before putting the strips on (same reason). Also, you shouldn't drink or eat any dark colored foods or drink for 1/2 hour after you use a whitening product since it gets absorbed by the teeth and stains them again.
Overall I would say that most of my patient's have had some measure of success with the Crest Whitestrips, some more than others. Our office uses Crest Supreme which are much stronger than what you can buy in a drugstore and don't cost that much more ($60.00 vs $30.00). The strips are probably your best low price alternative, much less than in office whitening or custom trays (about $500.00). Most whitening toothpastes just remove stain on the surfaces of your teeth and therefore are not so effective. Whatever method you use it will not whiten your teeth for life, as you age your teeth will get darker and may need to be whitened again. You should see results within the first week if not sooner.
Good luck!
