Why does the insert say to use this kit only once a year" "Use one kit of Crest #D White Whitestrips 1 Hour Express...per year."

I think like all the other kits they think that is sufficient. It isn't. I usually use the vivid advanced seal which you leave on for 30 minutes. I use as needed and never had a problem. I got the ones you are talking about as a promo and also use as needed. I think this brand is the best in the market

one kit contains four sets of whitestrips. Which means you can use four times 1 hour express per year

Actually, the "1hr Express" strips are meant to be used once a day until your supply is gone. It says so on the back of the box, "Use once a day for 1 hour.", which is not the same as the Two-Hour strips. I even called customer service to make doubly sure, and they confirmed this. Use once a day until you run out, (or space it out more if you are experiencing serious sensitivity issues), and do not use more than 2 boxes per year (so use one full supply no more than every 6 months). The results are dramatically better this way, but it's confusing since they "replaced" the Two hour strips.Hope this helps!

I use it fully about once every 2 years... But about every year I use it for 3 days to keep it up the whiteness.

Crest 3D White Intensive Professional Effects are the stronger white strips & more expensive. You place them on your teeth for 7 days (2 hours each time). The Crest Luxe White Strips are less expensive and not quite as effective. You place them on your teeth for 20 days (30 minutes each time). I have used both and in my opinion the "Intensive" strips make my teeth whiter in a shorter amount of time.

Hi Lunamar, that's a good question that I don't really know how to answer. I was confused about why there were two whitening gels included as well. I've been using the large syringe, which achieves good whitening results. One of them might be a higher whitening concentration, but I'm not 100% on the difference between the two.

I used mine up completely only one brushing per day, and I didn't notice much difference. I'm having better results with Colgate's Total Gel Whitening, quite frankly.

When you buy the kit, you get a bag of salt and you only use a third of it. The salts do not get replaced often at all, not looking at box now, but only replace like about once every 6 months to year I remember reading from someone or somewhere.

The kit comes with 20 stencils and if you carefully take them off and on and restick them to original white backing card you can use them more than once i have used the USA one three years in a row for the fourth of July. If you do not think that is enough for choices there are stencils sold separately just search glitter tattoo stencils. I hope this is the answer you were in search of.

Apply lightly once every 3 to 4 months if you use it a couple of hours a week.

Assuming there is no sensitivity use the strips everyday for two weeks straight. Then use the strips twice a week with baking soda the rest of the time.Then use the the strips once a week and stay at that level. Depending of the whiteness depends on the quantity of the strips. Use less for maintaining, and more for bringing to level of increasing whiteness. Start using toothpaste with whitener and/or baking soda in its ingredients to maintain white. Use strips as needed. Good luck. Respond if you have more questions. Would like to keep up with your progress.

Definitely one hour on my box, thereby the name "One Hour Express". Don't know why anyone else would be comparing the Crest two hour strips that are also available to these. Two different products!

It's personal preference. I find that the day white is stronger than the night white which could be because day white has a shorter processing time. I only use the whitening for a week after I visit the dentist twice a year

I really like the Supersmile system because it is very gentle. But for an even whiter experience, I have begun using the Crest Whitestrips 3D Gentle Routine. These are also very gentle and using both products helps to keep my teeth even whiter. I don't use these every single day though. Once I get to my desired shade, I go back to my normal whitening toothpaste which is Tom's brand.

According to the instructions you should get 8 applications per tube. I believe I get closer to 10-12, I am only on my 2nd box and I have been using this product for nearly 3 years. I have custom made trays and you use a very small amount in each tooth indentation. The consistency of this product is thin enough that it spreads completely over the tooth, but thick enough so it adheres well and does not run. If too much is used it spills out onto your gums & that can cause some sensitivity. Remember once your teeth reach the desired whiteness you only have to repeat the treatment for 2 consecutive days every 4-6 months.

I am fairly certain that Watts offers trays along in other kits , but I used some that I had bought last year. These trays might have been Watts brand, They are very thin, come in a pack of 3 upper, 3 lower, shrink to fit and last a long time. I cant remember the price but I know it was a bargain. I have also used Watts 36% gel on generic brand whitening strips and it works fine.

Its all about how sensitive ur teeth are...daily for one week is ok but some of these ppl are too vain and use it wwwaayyyy too much. Id say one week every couple of months is enuf...otherwise ur eating up ur enamel and that cant be replaced.
