    I think most of the action goes on while the strips are actually on your teeth. They worked great for me before my teeth got all insanely sensitive and I couldn't handle them anymore. But I used to brush my teeth right after wearing them, and i don't think it made them any less effective. You're so lucky your teeth can handle them! Nowadays I'm using the whitening mouthwash, which works a little bit, but the effects are not nearly as dramatic as with the strips. It's always a trade off.. the most effective treatment (hardcore bleaching at the dentist's office) is the most painful, and the least effective (probably that mouthwash, lol) is the least painful.

    Yea I would definetly rinse your mouth, that stuff is yucky tasting. Just dont eat drink or anything for about an hour after you take the strips off. I love crest white strips, I need to do them again! Thanks for the reminder.

    When I used them before: I rinsed my mouth first, used the strips, then brushed immediately after taking them off. I could be wrong, but I think thats how the directions recommend you do it. It says don't brush right before use because it can increase tooth sensitivity.

    Yes you brush after. You are not suppose to eat/drink (coffee etc...) anything that will stain your teeth for 24 hours after use. This will help you get max results. This is just what I have heard.
