Do these work to whiten crowns? (All my front teeth have crowns/bridges) And do they make your teeth sensitive? Thanks

I haven't noticed ANY sensitivity at all,even after 5 days in a row. I do not know if they whiten crowns.

Hi, I have crowns too but mine are more in the back of my mouth with the exception of one which is on the side so I really can't answer as to whether they will whiten your crowns that are in the front of your mouth. I have not had one bit of sensitivity to them. All I can say about the crowns is for you to try them or contact Rembrant and ask what their success rate is using their strips on crowns for whitening and if you decide to do this, will you post your results for me to see? Thanks!

I'm not a 100% sure about the crowns. But for me personally, they did not my teeth sensitive at all!

I haven't found it whitens my crowns but maybe i need to try it again. I don't believe GLO says it whitens the crowns, only natural teeth.

Hi, only use the blue gel if you get sensitivity to the whitening clear ones. :0)

I really do not know about crowns. My "guess" would be yes. This is the ONLY product I have found that works on bonding. No other toothpaste made a difference. I would think since bonding is so difficult to keep clean and this does the trick - it would probably work on crowns. I wish I had a better answer for you, but I don't have a crown(s). Sorry!

You mean your teeth didn't get any color on them? It usually takes me a while to get the color off. Better yet, just go to Ora wellness website for a good brushing technique and you're not going to need these anymore.

For me, they are in addition to flossing. They are excellent for cleaning between teeth (loose or tight teeth) but they don't clean below the gum line like floss does. I have a full dental reconstruction - $60,000.00 worth or crowns which makes me more prone to gum disease & decay & it is important to floss thoroughly. After using these to clean between teeth, I floss (pulling the floss down between the gum & crown), then brush. I've had a minimum of problems. If your floss shreds, make sure it is wax coated.

I have four of my front top teeth bonded and it works to bleach them so I assume it will bleach crowns too

Yes, I have very sensitive teeth and gums, and I have been using these toothbrush heads ever since they were first sold on Amazon. I have always used a Sonicare, from their original toothbrush many years ago. This new Sonicare has a Sensitive setting, which is perfect for my teeth and gums.

Yes, it does seem to whiten my crowns. I have used this for three years and am very pleased with results!

No. This is from experience when I worked at a dentist office for 10 years. If you go over the recommended time your teeth become sensitive. I fell asleep with them in once and two hours later I was hurting.

Light gray probably means you've lost tooth enamel. My guess is any whitening product will just make them more sensitive. This is a strong percentage meant for whitening the enamel.

I too have TMJ and bouts with teeth sensitivity, however, I have had no issues using my Sonicare. My only issue is that it is loud when in use, but my teeth feel clean and healthy.

I agree about the sensodyne. I found that if I used the strips after I had been using the Crest 3D whitening toothpaste exclusively, I got sensitivity. So I suggest using a sensodyne type toothpaste for a week or more before using the strips. Then when you are done you can go back to whitening toothpaste. Both the strips and the 3D toothpaste worked great though.

You will need trays for this. I had my dentist custom make mine, but there are good ones you can buy over the counter. Apply the gel on the front part of the tray that will hit the visible fronts of your teeth. I do this right before bed and sleep with them in. You'll need 2-3 weeks to completely whiten, after that just routine 1-2 day maint when needed. Your teeth may become sensitive over the first time, but should return back to normal.

They stick to the teeth pretty good...in fact, for me, it was kinda hard to get them off in some areas. FYI..they made me salivate a lot and they caused froth in my mouth and I had to keep spitting it out...all kinda a annoyance. I didn't see any significant difference in whiteness after 2 tries you have to do it 10 times and I'm not willing to go thru all that 10x.

After 2 hours it stops working. It doesn't continue to whiten for 8 hours, that would be dangerous. I accidentally fell asleep on the couch with them on one day, but I really don't recommend sleeping with any type whitening strips, only bleaching trays. These adhere pretty good, but I still personally wouldn't sleep with them on.

I can't really answer on how much peroxide is on each strip but the strips fit well and adhered to your teeth (unlike older versions) so you could wear them comfortably for the time needed and they didn't fall off. They seemed to have the appropriate amount of product on the strips and worked well to remove stains. I personnaly had no sensitivity of teeth or gums and would buy them again. Hope that helps a little!
