brushing or teeth whitening?

I have been brushing scrubbing brushing scrubbing but not even white a bit should I use those crest whitening strips but I'm afraid to use them cause they say they hurt or just keep on brushing my teeth after every meal any opinions

Brushing your teeth after each meal is simply good hygiene, so you should keep doing that. However, brushing isn't going to get them any whiter unless you want to sit there for an hour each time you brush. Strips are OK but I prefer to use trays. The trays allow you to regulate how much gel you put on your teeth so you have better control over what the gel comes in contact with.
