Teeth whitening pens have gained in popularity over the past few years due to their ease of use and competitive pricing. They are amongst the most popular home teeth whitening devices in the market currently. The pen is a paint-on device that contains a hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide gel. All that the user has to do is rotate the tip of the pen and apply it to the surface of the teeth. A thin and almost transparent gel will be released from the other end which will help whiten teeth instantly. The pen can be used as many times as one wish. They look like regular pens and can be carried easily anywhere. If you have an urgent meeting or a date and you want to look your best, then use it instantly, dab on and you are all set. However the tip of the pen can only reach selected portions of the mouth. It is not uncommon to see patches of white wherever the pen is used.Teeth whitening strips are also all about convenient whitening. Unlike full fledged kits which require a boil and bite mould to be formed, these just need to be applied and removed after 10 to 15 minutes. These are thin films that contain a bleaching agent like peroxide on the inside. These stick to the teeth when applied on it. There is an automatic dissolving variety as well that auto-dissolve after 10 minutes making it possible to leave it on overnight. People like teeth whitening strips because it is simple and non-messy and does not require a lot of effort to get your teeth whitened. The only disadvantage of this product is that they can be only applied to the surface of the teeth and not the backside of the teeth. Also, if one is not careful, then the peroxide may cause burning or increased sensitivity.Whitening Kits are more advanced than the other two and require some amount of expertise in usage. For example, they contain a boil and bite tray that needs to be formed according to one's jaw size.

These are amongst the most popular types of teeth whitening products used at home. If you are willing to spend some extra dough, then there are a lot more options including cosmetic dentistry and even veneers.
