These teeth whitening trays are our top pick, because not only are they seriously effective, but they also don't require a big time commitment. Just wear the trays for 30 minutes a day, and watch your coffee, wine, and tea stains disappear. This kit comes with two whitening gel syringes (equal to 20+ treatments), a mouth tray, a tray case, and an LED accelerator light to speed up the whitening process.
If you want to stick with a no-fuss classic, you can't go wrong with Crest Whitestrips. Just peel and apply the strips and leave them on for one hour each day. This pack contains 44 strips, and should last you 12 months.
If you're vegan, prefer natural ingredients, or have extremely sensitive teeth, opt for this Cali White whitening kit. It's vegan, gluten-free, contains no PPG & PEG, and is made with certified organic ingredients. Just wear the trays for 10-30 minutes a day for 7-10 days and your smile will be noticeably whiter.
It's true—teeth whitening kits can get pricey, but it's totally possible to get a brighter smile on a budget. This kit can remove all kinds of stains and includes two trays, two whitening gel syringes, and an LED light. You should see results after your first treatment, and it won't cause any sensitivity.
If you value convenience over anything else, you need a whitening pen. This AuraGlow pen is compact and portable, so it's easy to slip into your purse or take with you while traveling, and it yields results, too. Use it 1-2 times day, and you should have a whiter smile over time.
