Crest 3D White Whitestrips
Product review
Crest Whitestrips are thin, flexible strips coated with whitening gel. They were first introduced in 2001; however, a 3D range of white strips was developed in 2010. The new advanced seal, longer strips, and non-slip strips were the advanced features of the 3D version. Additionally, five other 3D variants have been introduced to different markets ever since. Based on reviews from both customers and dentists, 3D Crest Whitestrips are amongst the most effective whitening strips against yellow and heavily stained teeth.
According to https://www.smilebrilliant.com/ a comparison between costs of professional whitening at dentists and whitestripes shows:
Strips cost from $40 to $60
Professional whitening costs $800
