so, what do you guys suggest? I've used a target brand 14-day gel before. it's the one you brush on yer teeth at night. the bottle looks something like a whiteout bottle. anyway, it did seem to work--but just a little. I didn't like the hassle of "painting" the gooey gel on my teeth and having that "I need to spit" feeling everytime. also, I didn't follow its direction of dipping the brush in the gel for each tooth. anyway, I'm thinking about the strips that you stick on yer upper and lower teeth at night. but they seem to cost quite a bit. I wanna know if they actually work before I spend that kind of dough on them. so what brand and what type (e.g., gel brush-on or clear strip stick-on)?
btw, I don't smoke or drink coffee, just tea. and my teeth aren't as bad as this post may suggest

I just want some pearly whites that people on tv have!
