Pro Effects vs Advanced Seal - can't decide between them? You're not alone. Do not worry though, as you'll know which is for you after you read this.
Pro Effects:
In 2005, the Crest Whitestrips Pro Effects product was available on the market for the first time. However, if you looked for them, you would not find them. This is because they were not called Crest Whitestrips Pro Effects; they were called Crest Whitestrips Premium Plus. Crest had a package at the time, the Premium package, which contained a seven-day supply of Whitestrips. The company decided that some users may want more than a seven-day supply, so they released their Premium Plus package.
This new package was the same thing as the Premium one; the only difference was that it came with a ten day supply instead of a seven. Three more days will provide for a stronger whitening effect. The Whitestrips were still made with ten percent hydrogen peroxide, as they were still the same strips. Nothing had changed about the strips; you just got more of them in the Premium Plus package.
One day, Crest decided that the name "Premium Plus" just was not good enough. We can only speculate on why the change of mind, but what we do know is that Premium Plus came off the market and Crest Whitestrips Pro Effects took its place. Except for packaging, the Premium Plus package and the Pro Effects package are the exact same thing.
The Advanced Seal package:
Crest heard the complaints of many users, so they created the Advanced Seal package. It used to be that Whitestrips users had a hard time keeping the strips on their teeth. Obviously, strips falling off the teeth will not whiten the teeth very well. Bleach will be spilled on the gums, or it will get swallowed by the user; bleach burns any tissue it touches.
You could be using the Premium package, the Daily Whitening Multicare package, the Daily Whitening Multicare with Tartar Control package, the Classic package, the Professional package, the Renewal package, or the Supreme package, it does not matter. You would still run into this problem.
So, Crest decided to end this problem. They came out with the Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal, their newest product. These Whitestrips stay put on your teeth; they are the only ones. Sometimes, they stay put so well that they're hard to get off!
Because the strips slid off the teeth so easily, you found yourself with another problem: you could not do much. It prevented you from eating, smoking, drinking, and a number of other things. You would not want to move your mouth too much. However, the Advanced Seal Whitestrips solved that. You can do all of those things while they are on your teeth!
For all practical purposes, the Advanced Seal Whitestrips are the same thing as the Pro Effects; they both contain ten percent hydrogen peroxide, and they both contain a ten day supply.
In a nutshell, there is only one difference between the Advanced Seal and the Pro Effects Whitestrips, if you exclude the name and packaging: the Advanced Seal strips will stick to your teeth and won't prevent you from living for those thirty minutes.
The newer Advanced Seal product is the better product. It is recommended over the Pro Effects under any circumstance. The only reason one might want to buy the Pro Effects is if he or she finds them at a significantly cheaper price than he or she can find the Advanced Seal for. Otherwise, go with the Advanced Seal Whitestrips.
