I've done my first application tonight but sat and googled it whilst I did. There's not much love for this system on the web. Apparently the active ingredient needs to be at least 10% for any effect and this one has 0.1%. Fat lot of good this'll do then What a waste of £30! Loads of ppl have said they've tried to get their money back and have heard nothing from the company. I don't think they should be allowed to trade at wedding fairs if it's complete bol**xs

Your better off just brushing your teeth with bicarbonate of soda! Cheap cheerful and safe... ok maybe not so cheerful as its not the best taste but Ive never heard anyone say it doesn't work.

5thNovBride I agree bicarb soda is nasty stuff but it works :)

how bad is bad when you say bicarb of soda tastes bad? lol

Ohh RoseyB can I have the brand name please and I was thinking about buying some whitening stuff after I saw a woman in a shopping center selling it and it said something about 100% money back if not satisfied wonder if its the same one glad =/ I hope it does work for you x

i had mine whitened by laser cost £99 and there are sparkling white now and it came with a home top up kit... killed like hell but well worth it since i drink tonnes red wine drinking and smoke

I payed to get mine done at the dentist...the gum shields ones, cost alot and didnt really work aswell as i wanted, but did see a difference. xx

Photoshop is a great free way to get your teeth white on photos and it doesn't cost you anything. Just ask your phtographer to do this when they edit the pics.

I found a toothpaste in tesco's for smokers which works great..

all thos gimmicks are trully a waste of money.

I paid £300 last year to have Veneers put on the first 4 front teeth... as im a smoker, and a red wine drinker
and nothing i tried helped...

I'm not photoshopping, I want them done again! The bicarb, do u mix it with water first??

no wet your brush then dip it into the bi carb.... (not the box a bit in your hand) it works really well

oh and what are the strips called?!!?

Well, I have been doing the bicarb pretty much daily for the last couple of weeks and I *think* I can see a difference! Will have to take a pic of myself with a big cheesy grin later and compare it to one from earlier this year!

I'm pretty sure I'm going to get mine professionally whitened before the wedding. I have wanted it done for aaages, and the wedding is the perfect reason to go ahead with it. There is a place local to me who charge £350 but twice a year they run a 'sale' and it only costs £200, needless to say I'm waiting for the sale!

I'm gonna try the bicarb thing and let you know how it goes - I'll get some tomorrow and take a pic before i use it :D I was going to get my teeth whitened but cant afford it either now , fingers crossed xx

I'm loving this thread! I hate my teeth, have done since I was a kid. I had train tracks and a head brace from the age of 17-22, then had an operation to realign my jaw. When the brace came off, years of smoking and drinking coffee and booze left my teeth stained. I had a baby tooth which they said they would leave because it's closing a gap that will never have a 2nd tooth, that rotted and infected the one next to it and then fel out. So now I have stained teeth, a gap and a tooth that is slowly rotting. The dentist told me that before the baby tooth came out I would have to have a brace to close the gap, I was 27 by this point and the day it fell out I decided to never see a dentist again. I'm now nervous about my wedding pics because I want everyone to see how happy I was on my wedding day but I can't smile properly in photos with a big goppin gap so I'm going to have to face my fears and see a dentist. I know it's going to cost a bomb but h2b supports me because he knows that I am so self conscious about the mess of my mouth.

I think I'm going to start with some bicarb tonight when I brush my teeth. Thanks ladies! x

I think I might join the bi-carb experiment, I don't do well with yucky tastes but it can't be that bad can it?! I'd love to have my teeth whitened but can't really afford it and I'd still have the gap between my front teeth anyway so would prob still be a bit self concious about them.

I'm going to start this experiment thanks to one finding this thread and two my mum buying me bi-carb the other day as a hint to cook dinner lol... Really hope it works as I wanted my teeth done but we used some of our wedding money on my parents not so suprise anny lol xx

Did mine last night and this morning and WOW! what an improvement. They feel amazing too. x

I cleaned my teeth with it this morning after reading this thread not going to look at my teeth for aweek now and will use it twice a day. I must admit they feel great and I really didnt mind the taste either. Thanks for the tip girls x

Pennie, defiinatly an improvment! will keep on with it then xx

I used it before brushing with my normal toothpaste and the results above were after a couple of weeks daily use
