Introduction and Features of Crest Whitestrips
- Crest Whitestrips were introduced in 2001.

- It is most effective on yellow and heavily stained teeth.
- In 2010, the 3D range of Whitestrips was introduced.
- The new Advanced Seal technology made the strips non-slip and longer, resulting in whitening more teeth.
