The 2009 Top Tooth Whitening Methods

By Johan Swanson

From those exhaustive visits to the dentist to 'easy to use' home kits, teeth whitening treatments have come a long way. If you too are dying to get that perfect smile to stun your family members, neighbors, spouse or the opposite sex, here are top 4 trends in teeth whitening for 2009, especially for you.

1. Laser Bleaching Is In

Also referred to as power bleaching or argon bleaching, laser teeth whitening uses a combination of powerfully concentrated peroxide compounds and an argon light applied to the teeth. When the light hits the peroxide on your teeth, the chemical reaction caused by the argon and peroxide speeds up the bleaching process. This method is by far the most sought after since it is quick and easy, however it is also the most expensive method. We will cover cheaper alternatives as well in this article.

2. Whitening Gels are Easy and Fast

This formula is an easy shortcut to a brighter smile for those looking for a more cost effective whitening solution. It can provide very quick and stunning results provided you follow the application directions and make the proper preparations. Then the process of whitening is to simply apply the gel to your teeth and allow it to dry.

3. Stick On Strips

Teeth bleaching strips are great if you need a quick whitening solution. They are very easy to use and are not as messy as gels. They do not work as a long term whitening solution, however, since unlike the gels they cannot reach in between your teeth.

4. Custom Teeth Trays

Combining trays with gel gives the best of both worlds. You get the whitening power of the gel with the cleanliness of the strips for dentist whitening results at home.

A great variety is available both online as well as offline and you can surely make the best of the situation by going through consumer reviews to zero in on that perfect product. No matter what you choose, do make sure that it is certified by the American Dental Association to yield effective results. - 29879
