### 1. Laser Teeth Whitening
 
[Laser teeth whitening](https://smilesciences.com/products/laser-teeth-whitening-device) is probably the most heard-of treatment by everyone. You get a lot of [LED teeth whitening](https://smilesciences.com/products/led-teeth-whitening-device) kits that can be used at home or you can even go to your dentist for this procedure. An LED light, gel, and other materials are provided in the kit for convenient use. Firstly, you need to apply the gel evenly on your teeth and then cure it with UV light for a few seconds. The cure time varies from brand to brand and therefore, you should follow the user instructions carefully beforehand. 
 
### 2. Teeth whitening strips

These strips are soaked in a chemical solution that helps de-stain your teeth. Be careful to only place them on your teeth and not gums as they are very delicate and might cause irritation sometimes. Various brands sell these online as well as make them available for you in the pharmacy. 
 
### 3. Teeth whitening gum

They are probably the best way to whiten your teeth. All you need to do is munch on these chewing gums and get desired results. Although, be sure to read the dosage instructions behind the pack or the brand’s website. The intake of [teeth whitening gum](https://smilesciences.com/blogs/articles/teeth-whitening-gum) varies from product to product, based on their formulation and ingredients. 

### 4. Custom Fit Tray Bleaching

This is one of the most reliable methods you can find out there. The procedure involves making customized trays which are later used for applying the [teeth whitening gel](https://smilesciences.com/products/smile-sciences-teeth-whitening-gel-refill). These trays make sure the product stays in place and the application is even. Trays are very convenient to use and more effective because they fit you perfectly. Although some people might feel irritation in their gums due to the fit trays. 

### 5. Teeth whitening gel pens
 
Hydrogen peroxide is the main ingredient of this product. The product comes in form of a pen that has a pushing mechanism for the gel to ooze out for application. The gel destains your teeth and makes sure no discoloration is left behind. There are [teeth whitening gel refills](https://smilesciences.com/products/smile-sciences-teeth-whitening-gel-refill) also available so you can use them again and again. 

People have a lot of queries about teeth whitening with braces on. Well, simply stated, no product can get under your braces and treat discoloration. You can still try them but only after consulting your dentist. Some may also experience uneven color post-treatment. So, think about opting for [teeth whitening with braces](https://smilesciences.com/blogs/articles/teeth-whitening-with-braces).
 
Another point to note here is - Avoid food containing turmeric, coke, wine, etc. for the treatment to last longer.
