I have used Crest White strips and I think they are worth the money. There was a noticeable difference after only 4 treatments. I used the Crest Whitestrips Premium Plus which are more expensive than the others (Almost $40). The problem with strips are that they do not curve well to the sides of your teeth and you may end up with two front teeth that are whiter than the back ones.
The most cost effective way to whiten your teeth would be to use a gel kit. Most dentist's have very high quality kits and they will make you a custom mouth tray which you can use later for touch-ups. These kits are much cheaper than a dentist whitening and you will end up with the same results, it will just take a bit longer. Some common brands are Britesmile and Zoom.
Less expensive Gel kits are also available online and with some research you should find one that will work for you. Watch out for cheap trays and try to get some customer reviews before you buy anything.

The Crest Whitestrips do work. There are also peroxide gel and tray systems that are available at drugstores. The whitening products that contain peroxide are completely safe and non-damaging. Also, some patients we've had swear their teeth get whiter by just rinsing with Peroxyl mouth wash.

The White Strips work fine. You should be able to get a laser whitening for $400 if you shop around.

YES, the Crest strips work really well. Im using them right now, and Im amazed with the results. My son just got his braces off, and hes using them too. They really work and they arnt expensive. Get the no name ones, they are the exact thing, and theyre even cheaper. Theyre cheaper at Walmart.

Not in that way, see? They prevent getting your teeth bleached again once you have them whitening. Try those whitening strips and check if it works

I have heard bad things about the crest white strips. I would ask your dentist about them.
