Anyone ever try the Whitestrips? Did they work? They are kind of pricey (if they don't work very well), but certainly cheaper than what the dentist will do. Anyone know of any harm these may cause to your teeth?
What about Colgate Simply White? Anyone use that one? Which is better?

I used the stuff you paint on and it always came off on its own. So my teeth never really got whiter. I know someone who used white strips and said they worked well for what they are. I don't know...the BEST thing is to go to your dentist, but it's expensive.
Well, we might try the white strips. Actually it is Andy that wants whiter teeth. His teeth are a little sensitive, so this might not work for him. I don't think my teeth are too discolored, what I really want is braces for my teeth -- but I don't want to have any teeth pulled to have to get them (one orthodontist consultation said that - maybe I will get a different opinion).
Unless you have huge teeth, I don't think you should have to have any pulled. But I'm not an ortho. Have you heard about the Invisiline braces? They make a series of molds from your both and it's more like a plastic retainer/guard than braces but does the same thing. The guards are removable, so you can take them off to clean them and what not. They're also clear. So you wear one for awhile and once your teeth have moved to that form, you get a new one, and so on until you're done.
I had regular braces in middle school and they weren't that bad, but my bottom teeth shifted when my wisdom teeth were coming in. If I'm every able to financially, I think I want to do this invisiline thing. My dental insurance is good, but for ortho work, I have to go to USC dental students. That doesn't bother me, but I don't think they do cutting edge work.
