So-So: Sapphire Home Whitening, $250, from a dentist
What it is: supplies to make fitted mouth trays and whitener-filled syringes to fill the trays
How long it takes: Trays are worn for three minutes a day for two weeks.
Pros: "The product I loved. I especially liked the deep stain removal. It felt like I was really doing something to improve the color of my teeth. By the third day, I started seeing results." -- Sandra, tester
Cons: "When I read the instructions for creating the whitening trays, I was totally lost. I gave up on them and used some trays I'd received from my dentist. This was a great system to use, but I would have quit the whole thing if I hadn't already had my own trays."
Last word: "I would definitely keep using the deep stain removal and the gel once in a while as needed. But I would recommend getting your own trays."

Nice to know which products don't deliver. I also love Arm & Hammer Advanced White toothpaste. It's not from a traditional "beauty" line, but it absolutely works to brighten teeth.

I LOVED the Listerine Quick Dissolving Strips, no sensitivity like I would get with all other strips/whiteners. However I can't find them anywhere any longer. I searched the internet and the only place that actually have them is a store on Amazon but they are selling them for almost triple the regular price. Does anyone know where these can be purchased?

The Listerine Whitening Strips were great, no sensitivity or pain whatsoever which is unusual for me. However, you cannot find them anywhere. i checked Amazon and the only place selling them is charging over $60 per box. Very disappointing that they are so difficult to purchase now. Does anyone know where to find them???
