Best Home Teeth Whitening Kit

What is the Best Home Teeth Whitening Kit? by Timothy Croy

There are many home teeth whitening kits available to the consumer that is looking to get a brighter smile. Fortunately, with so many options, the price of these home based whitening kits is dropping rapidly - which makes for a very affordable way to get those pearly whites you've always dreamed of. So which is the best home teeth whitening kit?

That is a tough question, and really depends on the preference of the user. The 2 basic types of whitening kits come in the form of strips or bleaching trays. Bleaching trays are usually given to the patient by a whitening specialist at a clinic, or you can pick them up at a department store. The bleaching trays can be quite expensive and bulky, and are usually worn for several hours during the day or even overnight. However, these kits usually (not always) contain stronger bleach, and tend to be more effective than the cheaper strips.

Teeth whitening strips can be had for less than $50, and contain some type of peroxide bleaching ingredient. The strips adhere to your teeth like bandaids, and can be worn all day without anybody noticing. The strips are also quite comfortable and unless you are eating a meal, you hardly notice them.

Both the strips and tray teeth whitening kits will vary for effective result time, but usually a period of 7-14 days is required.

So which one is the best? We prefer a good brandname Strip solution, such as Crest Whitestrips. Strips can be just as effective as their tray counterparts, without hurting your wallet or ego. That's not to say bleaching trays don't have their place. Sometimes strips don't work on certain individuals with severe teeth staining.
