Which whitening kit works best? Comparison!

[@JoshuaDHarvey]

Best video I’ve found so far on reviewing these kits

[@PH-md8xp]

It means absolutely nothing that the Kardashians endorsed that particular hismile product. 😮

[@StephanieMercer-jm1gj]

💯

[@askahygienist]

I'm not aware of Kardashians recommending the Ollie whitening kit..?

[@PH-md8xp]

@@askahygienist I was referring to the hismile product (at 4:02) that was endorsed by the Kardashians. I know you’re not recommending that product but that’s what I was referring to. Good video. Your research is well presented.

Awesome job, well-spoken you're a natural!

[@leeperrybender5811]

I thought the PAP+ that you used showed good results after 2 weeks, but your teeth didn't look too bad to start with! As to the blue light device that you bite down on, I tried one a couple of years ago and got a noticeable difference. BUT the problem was that the device wasn't deep enough -- meaning that it didn't fit my teeth all the way to the gum. So I had a halfway look, which I didn't like at all. What I noticed is that all those devices seem to be similar. But the Collgate device doesn't have a barrier down the middle (the part that you bite down on) except out on the sides. So, I'm trying it now, hoping that I can see an improvement on the teeth from tip to gumline.

[@pettybetty1791]

The waving palms have lightened my teeth atleast 5 shades. My teeth were pretty yellow before and those strips were an absolute life saver. I will say I do see a slight improvement from your pictures but not much. However, I think this is due to the fact your teeth didn't need much whitening in th first place. As for me, it made a HUGE difference.

[@askahygienist]

Good point haha. I’m glad it worked for you!!

[@kausarlolz]

how often did you use it and in how long did u achieve white teeth

[@lindaoow]

I have never tried teeth whitening and its sometimes difficult to get anything with strong ingredients because restrictions in my country where i live. I want to try and find something similar ingredients here. Anyway, i looked trough the comments before starting to watch the video and many people seem very angry when they comment, i think you handle the responses really well. It made me wanna stick trough and watch the video for legit advice, i think maybe people are easily angered because when looking for/searching these types of reviews there's lots and lots of fake ad videos. But you seem genuine and honest about what you review. Thanks for the good video! It will help me decide what to get! Hope ollie is available in my country :)

[@askahygienist]

That’s my goal, to offer legit advice! I hope you find something that works for you, too :)

[@lindaoow]

@@askahygienist thank you! All i have found in sweden for whitening ”at home use” are at 0.1% HP max, but i think that small of an amount wont do any help whitening. Maybe ill have to order from abroad. Tomorrow i will see if i can find cheap shipment options :) video was very helpful! Thanks!

[@JonnyRecaps]

You're meant for this sort of thing my friend. Fantastic video, thorough, well-explained and no waffling. Thank you 🖐️😀

[@askahygienist]

Thank you! Happy to help :)

[@mjfloress]

As a kid we would boil our sport mouth guards and bite into them to form them to our teeth. Can we do that with the kits to make them more affective?

[@askahygienist]

No, whitening kits are made of a different material and are not made to be boiled. Moreover, I understand the idea behind making a “custom tray” but specifically for whitening, the process of making a custom tray includes adding a thin layer of material to the teeth mold so that when the tray is made, there is room for whitening solution. Otherwise if you were to use a regular retainer or mouth guard, the whitening solution would squish out.

[@elevenbyfive]

i noticed that when i used strips, my teeth started to get kind of transparent at the tips. Wheread now when i use gel from the dentist in my retainer, it doesn't do that. Is that just a me thing or is that something about the strips? I preferred them but i was scared i was gonna damage my enamel or something but idk. I feel like if i ask my dentist, he's gonna be maybe biased bc he wants me to buy the gel...but i would value your opinion.

[@askahygienist]

Oh interesting! I’ve never heard of that being a correlation; however I do have to say my teeth are translucent at the edges and I’ve mostly only used strips. However I do have some family members who do not whiten at all and their teeth are translucent as well. It may be more genetic or related to reflux/silent reflux.

[@elevenbyfive]

@@askahygienist oh! That's interesting. Thank you. That's really helpful.

[@Emptrix]

Thanks! I just bought Crest Whitening Level 20, 22 treatments 44 strips, from Amazon (the one you've briefly screenshotted in this video). I hope they work to remove some yellowish stains on my front teeth and overall make my teeth whiter. I wasn't sure if I should get the top of the line Crest strips Level 34, it is the one that comes with an extra mouth blue light device at double the price. I don't think I've got any grey teeth looking at the mirror. You're pretty by the way ;)

[@askahygienist]

I wouldn’t bother with the light device, I’ve always had good results with regular strips, no light needed :)

[@Emptrix]

@@askahygienist That's reassuring! Can't wait to give those strips a shot. If it at least evens out my teeth color and get rid of the yellow splotches, I'll be contented!

[@TodaywithTerriK]

Thank you! Found you because of VRA and love the info.

[@juliebarnett9812]

Your 2nd one seems like your teeth were a little better.

[@mavok5863]

Great vid

[@Meh-yh7yt]

Would you do another test whitening test video but try out SNOW instead ? This brand keeps selling out and I want to see if it’s really worth the investment specifically the teeth whitening powder 😅 or at least hear your thoughts about it 😅

[@askahygienist]

First, thanks for clarifying what specific product you were curious about. They have a lot lol. Second, I did reach out to them for some more info. I don’t know that I can do another whitening product review effectively because I’m pretty maxed out on how white my teeth can get lol. That being said, I did take a look at the booster powder ingredients and my initial feedback is as follows: it appears this is a mild abrasive booster to help remove surface stains. There is no actual active whitening ingredient in this formula, so if your teeth are naturally yellow, the intrinsic color will not change. It’s basically like sprinkling yummy baking powder onto your toothpaste to help scrub away stains more effectively. In fact, I would say save yourself some money and start sprinkling baking powder on your toothpaste for the same effect lol. The one thing that got me excited was the first ingredient, CDP aka monocalcium phosphate. It offers the benefit of remineralizing enamel. Buuttt turns out baking powder can also contain MCP. So I stand by my original statement - just use baking powder if you want the same effect for a fraction of the cost lol. In hindsight I could have probably used this product without fear of overwhitening or not seeing results because my teeth are already white - there’s no whitening ingredient in this formula :) hope this helps!

[@jocelynetesta9373]

Great job. You have beautiful teeth and already pretty white. Lucky you.thanks 🇨🇦

[@askahygienist]

Not lucky haha, years of whitening. Probably over-whitened to be honest.

[@Mitch-kg1ch]

So is crest 3D just as good or better than Ollie ?

[@askahygienist]

Hmm, I haven’t used crest strips in a while, but from what I remember, crest did cause some significant sensitivity while Ollie (because of the potassium desensitizing ingredient) was more comfortable. In terms of results, both whitened well.

[@geralt-of-rivia-z6f]

Sorry this isn't related to the video but I'd like to know what lip product you're wearing 😅

[@askahygienist]

haha, it's just an all-purpose balm called Egyptian Magic. amzn.to/4cfHBap

[@kirillkulishov984]

They first ones I tried were complete nonsense, coconuts and lemons definitely don't do anything for teeth! If anything it made them slightly more yellow lol. The Ollie strips are great though I noticed a difference by the 2nd day, very noticeable after 7 days. Teeth are slightly sensitive after use, but nothing compared to the sharp aches and stabs of pain I remember I would get from Crest strips!

[@askahygienist]

I had exactly the same thoughts! Thanks for sharing :)

[@lbolton21]

Great video. Thanks a lot. Ollie it is 😬

[@sw33tfac3ny]

Great info thanks 🙏

[@afv571]

Girl your teeth without the strips are what I’m trynna get to 😂

[@askahygienist]

Haha but remember my teeth “without strips” is actually years of periodic whitening.

The Ollie picture looks like it's got a tent over top of the color definitely a different lighting.

[@askahygienist]

Not sure what you mean by tent but I try my best to get the same lighting on all the pictures. I don’t have a fool-proof lighting system lol but I can say even from a professional user experience, I had the most noticeable results with Ollie. Of course you can make your own decisions from there :)

[@kalisdad95]

@@askahygienist The picture on the left looks like it has a filter on it just my observation. Good video I enjoyed it.

[@askahygienist]

@@kalisdad95 do you mean on the thumbnail?? The thumbnail picture is brobably brightened because I assume thumbnails are going to be tiny on the phone screen so I try to make the thumbnail more visible. In the video, no filters on the pictures, just trying my best to match the lighting on both the before and after shots.

[@leogarcia9959]

Try Ollie here a link where I most likely get a kickback 😂

[@askahygienist]

Absolutely, and I have no shame either! 😁 I try all products out myself before sharing my opinion. Ollie works so why not share a link/discount code and get a kickback for my work? Some products I review and I don’t like; I disclose that to my viewers in the video as well.

[@kalisdad95]

​@@askahygienistBecause you can tell a definite difference in the shade of the photos and your teeth while talking or nowhere as white as the ones in your picture

[@askahygienist]

@@kalisdad95 The lighting I use to take pictures of my teeth is different than the lighting I use for my talking head vidoes. It makes a huge difference.

Sister your teeth are not yellow enough

[@askahygienist]

Hah I’ve been considering this; people keep asking me about more whitening products and at this point I can’t really even test them because I probably wouldn’t see much difference with the current color of my teeth 🤦‍♀️

@@askahygienistmaybe you can get a friend or someone you know to volunteer for the review? Haha

[@blueridgepics]

Even your own before and after shows a blue change of the color balance of the picture. Shame on you.

[@askahygienist]

Are you talking about 02:52? I do see my lips were a little more blue in the before, but I think I was cold that day, and the after photo was the day after a ski trip so my lips were more chapped/red. I really am trying to give some honest info, but you decide 🤷‍♀️
