Have you had your teeth whitened?

No need to spend silly amounts on gels or stips. Sprinkle about 1/4 of a teaspoon of bicarb of soda onto your toothbrush every time you brush your teeth. You'll notice the results in a couple of weeks. It made my teeth more sensitive so I stopped but I'm sure changing my toothpaste to Sensodyne would have helped.
Got to be careful with this sort of stuff guys.
Michael Jackson got his teeth whitened....
Then he got his skin whitened.....
You don't wanna know what comes after that.
Its a downward spiral.
On a serious note, be careful with some of this stuff your using to brush your teeth with, it wears away at the enamel (which is what makes your teeth sensitive) Which never comes back... so carry on or do it too much and eventually you will have very small and thin teeth.

I've been using crest white-stripes, not that many over the last couple of months (still not even a whole pack).
An an ex smoker/black coffee drinker my teeth were not longer the natural white they used to be - they have gone from a mild yellow (nothing terrible) to a natural white (not Simon Cowell level), but if I used the rest of the pack I could end up that way.
Using the crest white-strips supreme professional effects (not that expensive, about £35 for 21 applications).
Used about 10 in total so far & I'm happy with the results - one key note, these are around 14% (much stronger than the rest of the crest range, so if you have sensitive teeth it will hurt you if you use the recommended two in a day).
I have very thick & strong teeth (no decay, fillings or ever had toothache & can chew ice-cubes & two of those in one day hurt).

I would prefer that then looking like you had unnaturally white teeth. It would be too obvious then

Yup, then white-strips sound like they will be good for you.
It varies from person to person, but if they take well for you - you keep going with the strips until you are happy with the shade (then stop).

No
But am seriously thinking about it
What happens if you have veneers?
Do these whiten or do they need to be replaced?

Wow - superiority complex much?
Teeth whitening - never thought about it - I'm not a preener and my looks are what they are - never felt the need to artificially alter them.
Soldato
Well I guess for some of us it's artificially correcting them after artificially damaging them (smoking being a key one).
IIRC veneers don't get whitened by the stripes, just the teeth - so if you had clearly visible veneers at the front they would need replacing.
I'm just really saying there's no call for her to be using my first name if she's using her surname. It isn't as if I'm a small child.
It's not a particularly pleasant experience no, I am pretty much screwed up into a ball on the seat. But it's sort of a mental pain and discomfort... think angle grinder on a brick

I'm quite interested in this, never thought about it before really.
What should I buy to get a good result? Links and stuff?

For me it's torture, she might as well be shoving paperclips between my gums and teeth.
Right then to update:
On that scale if I'm brutually honest I'd say I'm a M2 1 or M2 1.5
I've got the Crest Supreme strips and will be applying them for a month, twice a day.
I've already tried one and I must have done it wrong as I brushed my teeth before and it didn't stick to my teeth.
After 30 mins one tooth is feeling sensitive.
